Enterprise and complex platform with Talend

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Awesome Product intelligence tool.

Rating: 6 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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 a great tool

Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Talend Data is used to load data from different data sources such as SAP HANA, APIs, MS SQL, Excel sheets, etc. The aim is to extract the data from one/multiple sources, transform the same and then load it into the target data source. Talend is a very efficient tool for data preparation.

Pros

  • Extract data from different type of sources - Great connectivity options available.
  • Transform the data using multiple functions/components within Talend Data.
  • Load the data into different types of target tables.
  • One can also customize the code for specific use cases.

Cons

  • Scheduling options are limited.
  • Using Machine Learning is not very easy.
  • Documentation provided by Talend can be better.

Likelihood to Recommend

Talend is a great tool for data preparation as wells as integration. One can connect to multiple databases such as Oracle, MS SQL, SAP HANA, etc., and can transform/prepare the data as per the business requirements. Further, data can be easily loaded into a different database as per the requirement. The machine learning feature is not very easy to use.

Talend DI Suite Review

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Talend Integration Suite has been chosen as the enterprise data integration tool for our client. We were using Informatica Power Center before that. Currently we are recreating the existing power center mapping in Talend to decommission Informatica. All new projects are using Talend DI. Talend has data integration, big data integration, data profiling and master data management components which are widely used in our projects based upon the data requirements.

Pros

  • Its an open source tool.
  • Developers can add new customized components to Talend for specific needs.
  • It has low cost as compared to commercial data integration tools.
  • The enterprise version has an option for integrating a variety of data platforms and connects to variety of data sources.
  • To run a job, a developer need not upload it to the server, jobs can be run locally.

Cons

  • Data loading components for different databases can be improved further. Currently Greenplum target compenents or postgre data target components are not yielding high throughput,
  • Transformation components can be made visually more attractive and informative.
  • Syntax used in data transformation can be simplified.

Likelihood to Recommend

Talend Integration is a complete data integration suite which can cater to departmental as well as enterprise data integration needs.
