On this post, you are talking about Talend and Informatica like both are comparable... indeed both tools are comparable in power and functionality. But keep in mind Informatica is a proprietary solution, with no access to the code. You have a license fee + other costs associated to the use of Infa. Talend is an open source ETL able to perform data migration and synchronization. It's code is open source. You can download the free version of Talend, Talend Open Studio on the website. Being an open source tool, you can adapt the software to your organization and therefore spend less time and money on the development of your companies' own software.
