Its super important to know and understand how a product is performing, after its release, with the consumers who get their hands on it. This is where Talend Product Intelligence comes in. It provides data for analytics. With metrics like active users, most used features etc, this is exactly what was needed.
Pros
Analytics on the consumers and their usage habits
Also helps understand what part of the product is working for the customer and what isnt
Understanding the product from the consumers perspective helps build a company that grows exponentially
Cons
With things like analytics, theres always room for improvement. The goalposts are ever shifting.
A deeper dive into the analytics can be provided with reports and graphs and what not as possibilities

You make a product. You’re not sure how the market will react to it. Talend Product Intelligence enters the picture.Suddenly you know your consumers likes, dislikes, how they use your product, what gravitates then or what pushes them away. Its great research into however you can tweak and fix your products to grow as a company.
We used Talend to implement an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) that could contain all Supply Chain information in order to create an evolved reporting system. Moreover, we needed a flexible tool to extract and elaborate data, but also run external processes like data science algorithms that had to predict selling forecasts and raw materials supply to create some new KPIs for the production office.
Pros
Extract from source systems
Elaborate data
Run external processes
Can be used in a cloud solution
Cons
Support not as strong as other vendors.
If you want to use it in the best way you need to be able to do some programming.
With ETL component you cannot join tables from different schemas.

Talend is a complete tool with a lot of flexibility for the development and execution of complex tasks. Before we did not trust it so much as it did not have an enterprise solution, while now we feel free to propose it to customers. The graphic view is a little old, and it seems a tool more indicated to be programmed by a data engineer as you need to be able to write some code as well if you want to obtain complex results, while an easy approach as ETL could be managed by a developer.
Talend is helping us in getting the data extracted from mediation (Telecom) and transforming it into reports like Prepaid recharge master and credit limit enhancement. Products are also configured and used as a lookup for charging. We have also integrated Talend Product Intelligence with Tableau for region-wise revenue dashboards. For senior management.
Pros
Helps data transformation for dashboard creations.
Helps in decision making.
Helps detecting revenue leakage.
Cons
Pricing for sure can be the area for improvement.
Real time processing is slow as compared to other tools like Abinitio.
While developing batches, it crashes a lot. It may be the issue with me, but I wanted to highlight it.

I would not suggest it for real-time processing as it seems slow to me, however, processing bath files or product mapping, it's a good tool to use.
Talend is used to build a corporate data warehouse solution which centralizes all relevant company intel into a single repository. Talend is used for development only by the IT department (as expected) but the information it gathers is used for the whole company. The main problem which talend addresses is to unify different sources of intel by retrieving data from databases, files, web services, the internet, etc.
Pros
Reading for multiple sources: Any modern Database, Files, WebServices, etc.
Monitoring and scheduling task dependencies for data loading purposes.
Really useful to design a Data Warehouse, thanks to its built in components for design patterns like SCD, etc.
It's also useful to publish data interfaces via WebServices or REST.
Good and high qualified support team.
Connecting to various databases from classic Relational (MSSQL, Oracle, MySQL, etc.) to No-SQL Databases.
Well documented.
Community which provides plugins, etc.
Cons
Installation process of Integration Suite platform.
JAVA memory management. It's easy to get a memory overhead error, and you have to modify configuration files to increase memory manually.
