Stitch from Talend vs. Talend Data Fabric

Ingestion tools make life easy to ingest new data sources. However, they are single tool in your tool box and treat them as such. They won't do your transformations nor do they (neither should they) have ability to define dependencies. They are built for making your ingestions mindlessly simple.

The best scenario that I see as productive is having several sources of information, the tool allows me to consolidate in a single income channel allowing me to maintain the integrity of the information, I like the treatment of financial data since speed and accuracy are needed in the accounting records. I believe that in any industry this tool would be 100% productive.

• Automate data ingestion.

• It supports a wide variety of connectors (Systems/endpoints)
• It provides great flexibility for developers as it not only has a lot of predefined ready to use the function but also provides the ability to use complex java code within the platform. Great tool if you have good developers available.

• Users feel the UI is not as friendly

• Bugs: Came across some of the bugs in transforming column datatype especially on text.
• Speed: Sometimes, bandwidth fluctuates in the data transfer as identified from logs, but so far so good.
• Connector support: So far have not seen Actian Matrix plugins, could be useful.

Lack of report export and publication! Steep learning curve!

At this moment the usability of Talend Data Quality is optimal, too bad I cannot say the same in the first three months, it was always a problem due to its steep learning curve, but what matters is being able to use it effectively at this precise moment.

Talend Data Quality gave us direct help in the learning process and prevented us from taking many more months to adapt and I appreciate this from the heart, I think that thanks to the support we can have very detailed reports that help increase the use of Talend Data Quality in the company.

Stitch is much cheaper and probably simpler than tools like Fivetran. Stitch is for simpler projects and used alongside traditional ETL and writing ones own code into APIs. Fivetran is more of a overarching tool but also more expensive

1) Talend offers more than 200 palettes, but most of them are repeated. For Example in Pentaho, we can use a single component ( Microsoft Excel input ) and we can get the data, sheet name, file name, and all other things like using a wildcard, etc. 2. Talend is an open-source tool that makes it easily accessible.

Incentivized

• KPI Management
• Data Visualization
• Data sanitization/normalization
• Ease of ETL process

• The steep learning curve negatively impacts ROI during the first few months.
• After solving the difficulties with learning Talend Data Quality, we can achieve an increase in ROI with accurate and visually appealing reports.
• Integration with Salesforce is another positive breakthrough in ROI.
