Spectrum is a fully-featured ETL++ data integration platform with a broad range of capabilities for extracting, exploring, integrating, preparing, delivering, and governing data for scalable, secure data pipelines. | Talend offers a comprehensive integration platform covering a full range of integration scenarios, including data integration, real-time data pipelines, application and API integration, master data management, and data quality and governance. |
Spectrum offers a comprehensive set of capabilities and provides it in a well-integrated platform with a seamless, easy user experience. | The Talend platform consists of a complex set of tools and services designed for specific purposes but are not well integrated. |
Spectrum provides a single, seamless user experience that supports all aspects of data pipeline creation and management, including discovery and exploration, design, testing, and deployment – without any coding. | The Talend platform requires users to jump around between multiple tools, each with specific functionality to design a piece of your data pipeline or manage the pipeline. |
Spectrum has an extensive array of over 80 connectors designed to work with different sources – databases, data warehouses, files, SaaS applications, and cloud services – regardless of where you are processing data. | Talend offers an inconsistent set of connectors depending on which platform you are using and has a very limited set in the cloud. |
Spectrum’s platform has the same functionality on-premises, in the cloud in hybrid situations. It can seamlessly and bridge on-premises sources into the cloud and lets you quickly burst or migrate pipeline workloads into the cloud. | Getting Talend to work in a hybrid environment is difficult at best, and in many cases not practical, due to the mismatches in functionality between Talend’s on-premises and cloud offerings. |
Spectrum supports the ability to directly send data to all the popular BI platforms in their native format, simplifying end-to-end processes, lowering your costs, speeding data delivery. | Talend offers no integration with BI tools, forcing an extra hop for data delivery to BI users and makes it challenging to create operationalized BI data pipelines. |
Datameer has a simple pricing model that can start small, scale effectively with an organization, and help onboard the broader analytics and data community. | Talend offers a complex, expensive pricing model that disincentivizes organizations to add their broader analytics and data community. |
