Henrique Fsantos - PeerSpot reviewer
Data & Analytics Engineer at PicPay
Automated data pipelines have improved analytics workflows and provide trusted reporting data
The best features of Qlik Talend Cloud are its connectors to many systems, databases, APIs, and files, including both SQL and NoSQL databases. The scheduling feature allows me to run jobs automatically in the cloud, and the built-in data quality tools help clean and check data. The reusable components enable me to reuse jobs and parts, which saves time, making it easy to build good data pipelines. The feature that has made the biggest difference for me in Qlik Talend Cloud is the scheduling and automation, which helps me run ETL jobs automatically without manual work. This saves time, reduces errors, and makes the pipelines more stable. In my daily work, I can trust that the data is updated on time and ready for reports and analytics. Qlik Talend Cloud has had a positive impact on my organization by automating data integration processes, reducing manual errors, and ensuring reliable and up-to-date data for reports and business decisions. This has improved operational stability, productivity, and trust in the data. Since using Qlik Talend Cloud, we have reduced manual work, resulting in approximately 20% to 30% time savings in data load processes. We have also seen a reduction in operational errors, mainly due to automation and the data quality checks, and a clear improvement in data reliability since the pipelines became more standardized and monitored.

Streaming pipelines have become simpler and onboarding new data sources is now much faster
One of the best features Upsolver offers is the automatic schema evolution. Another good feature is SQL-based streaming transformations. Complex streaming transformations such as cleansing, deduplication, and enrichment were implemented using SQL and drastically reduced the need for custom Spark code. My experience with the SQL-based streaming transformations in Upsolver is that it had a significant positive impact on the overall data engineering workflow. By replacing custom Spark streaming jobs with declarative SQL logic, I simplified development, review, and deployment processes. Data transformations such as parsing, filtering, enrichment, and deduplication could be implemented and modified quickly without rebuilding or redeploying complex code-based pipelines. Upsolver has impacted my organization positively because it brings many benefits. The first one is faster onboarding of new data sources. Another one is more reliable streaming pipelines. Another one is near-real-time data availability, which is very important for us. It also reduced operational effort for data engineering teams. A specific outcome that highlights these benefits is that the time to onboard new sources is reduced from weeks to days. Custom Spark code reduction reached 50 to 40 percent. Pipeline failures are reduced by 70 to 80 percent. Data latency is improved from hours to minutes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) transformations are open source and is a valuable feature."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The Talend software is very simple to install."
"I would definitely recommend others to implement this product as it is really helpful, easy to learn, user friendly, provides lot of enhanced features, etc."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten."
"A specific outcome that highlights these benefits is that the time to onboard new sources is reduced from weeks to days, custom Spark code reduction reached 50 to 40 percent, pipeline failures are reduced by 70 to 80 percent, and data latency is improved from hours to minutes."
"I have saved 50 to 60% on maintaining pipelines since using Upsolver."
"It was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality."
"The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies."
 

Cons

"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."
"Finding assistance with issues can be spotty. With Python, there are literally millions of open source answers which are recent and apply to the version that we are using."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"Qlik Talend Cloud could be improved with more advanced monitoring and flexible alerts, as well as better job performance visibility."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"As it is a open source tool, some minor bugs are there."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"Processing large volumes of data sometimes consumes a lot of resources."
"I think that Upsolver can be improved in orchestration because it is not a full orchestration tool."
"I would say Upsolver's scalability is eight out of 10 because of pricing."
"On the stability side, I would rate it seven out of ten. Using multiple cloud providers and data engineering technologies creates complexity, and managing different plugins is not always easy, but they are working on it."
"There is room for improvement in query tuning."
"Upsolver excels in ETL and data aggregation, while ThoughtSpot is strong in natural language processing for querying datasets. Combining these tools can be very effective: Upsolver handles aggregation and ETL, and ThoughtSpot allows for natural language queries. There’s potential for highlighting these integrations in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year."
