February 20, 2023 4.0 I have been using Open Studio of Talend for more than 3 years now , It is a wonderful product to work on to build ETL pipelines with various sources . It has got lots of native connectors to various databases/sources . The GitHub integration works brilliantly well considering working with a big team . The cloud Talend and studio integration is so seamless. Pros Top features of Talent open studio - 1) Connectivity to various databases through built in connectors 2) Flexibility to write python code to implement complex business logics 3) GitHub integration 4) Built in utilities aligned with data warehouse methodology to build data warehouses and data lakes. Cons 1) The error message from the jobs could be misleading sometimes 2) Since its a java based application the GC overhead will be easily achieved when dealing with bulk data 3) flexibility to allow other languages to write code apart from java , Python for example.

Intern Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "First time using Talend Open Studio" March 29, 2023 5.0 My experience with TOS was interesting, since it introduced me to a new world of data analysis, it allowed me to know and demonstrate how data works and how it can be controlled, tabulated and even graphed with the help of other linked tools. Pros For the type of work I did at the university, I used TOS for the analysis and treatment of a data stream provided by the university, which consisted of working with the hundreds of data that this stream received every day. Having explained that, what I liked the most about this tool was its dynamic and fully equipped environment at the time of working, in addition to that, its API seemed impressive to me since it had explanatory text for each subtool and with examples in real time for a better understanding. , and last but not least I liked the ease of installation of this tool and the ease of creating a working environment. Cons In general there were no bad events or events with the tool, however, it does have a function to download and deploy "components" external to those that come with the default tool. One piece of advice given by my teacher in charge was to download other components from the official Talend page, called "Talend Exchange", but when I entered that page it never loaded, and it gave me the same error "Bad request to server. Please contact your UForge support." I resorted to many solutions but none worked for me, so it delayed the development of my project. Reason for choosing Talend Open Studio I chose TOS because my teacher in charge recommended it to me to start working with data streams, since he has worked with Talend for 5 years or more.

Easy to understand the components and many new components and features are there. Pros We have many in-built components for source and destination connection. Data transformation are easily achievable using TMAP.Alerting and managing the schedule are simple. Cons Deploying code from local to Talend cloud is not straight forward. Talend Studio in local consumes large amount of memory and it takes a few minutes to open.

April 13, 2023 4.0 Talend Open Studio is an open source data integration tool with a wide range of capabilities and connectors, offering a component-based approach and visual workflow design. However, it has a steep learning curve and may have limitations in the free version. It is a suitable option for technically proficient users seeking an open source data integration solution with scalable capabilities. Pros The software provides a wide range of data integration functions, such as extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL), database connectivity, etc. Talend Open Studio has a large number of predefined connectors to facilitate the integration of data from multiple sources and destinations. Additionally, you have the option to customize connectors for specific requirements. The interface is designed in such a way that users can easily and intuitively design, develop, and manage integration workflows efficiently, even if they have no programming knowledge. Cons Despite presenting an easy and intuitive interface, Talend Open Studio has a steep learning curve, as it requires technical knowledge and programming to take full advantage of its features. In the free version, there are many limitations in terms of advanced functions, as accessing them requires purchasing the paid version. Review Source AB AMIT B.
