Talend ESB

Recommended for:

1. Multiple systems to interface for a task in the company (example: to sell an item your POS must communicate with the inventory software, then to accounting, then to service, etc).
2. When a task must bring information from several external services.
3. When you have to deal with multiple APIs.

Not recommended for:

1. Data transformation (although Talend has a software for that that works with Talend ESB)

Talend has a different approach to license since it is based on programmers and run times, not to users of cores.
