Implementation and working is very user friendly, just need to be a little more fast
What do you like best?
The applicatiojn has all the features that can be sought from a tool, only just it has to be more rhobust and a developer always wants more feature and more power. More opportunities also.
What do you dislike?
Even on the fastest servers, it slows down a little and the components individually can offer more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No need to compare it with other ETL tools, go straight ahead, always get the stable version and try to exploit the tool on your own rather than going through the documentation.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
The tools and features Talend provides to Extract Transform and Load data are really appreciated, but there is always scope for more and Talend has built such an image that the customers can never really settle.
