Pros

* Talend has a great foundation for technical growth with a strong product centered on Talend Studio which generates Java code for data integration using visual drag-and-drop components * Strong Eclipse technology and community are built into Talend Studio * Talend Studio addresses both batch integration (Jobs) and application integration (Routes) * Very rich palette of Components for batch integration Jobs * Generated code for event driven Routes uses Apache Camel which is excellent

Cons

* Poor generated code quality * Generated code for batch Jobs lacks a mature underlying framework (e.g. there is no underlying Spring Batch or equivalent that the generated code uses) * Design palette for Routes is very limited and does not contain most Camel components * Components for Camel Routes are poorly documented * Generated code for both Jobs and Routes is monolithic and not easily extended * Limited re-use and modularity of user designs. There is some, but it is not as robust or manageable as it should be. * Does not make use of modern software frameworks such as Spring. * Very poor tools for authoring SQL
