Etlworks vs. Talend Data Fabric
Streamlined Data Integration Without the Overhead
Side-by-side comparison
Etlworks and Talend both offer enterprise-grade ETL
Both Etlworks and Talend Data Fabric provide comprehensive solutions for data integration, replication, API management, and workflow automation. Each platform is designed to support enterprise-scale projects across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments.
Difference
Why Etlworks Stands Out
Much Lower Cost, Higher Value
Etlworks offers predictable, transparent pricing starting at just $300 per month — far below Talend’s typical starting price of $2,000+. With Etlworks, you get a full-featured platform without the inflated costs, hidden fees, or long-term contracts.
Intuitive, Usable, and Fast
Etlworks is designed for simplicity and speed. Its grid-based pipeline designer, drag-and-drop mapping, and streamlined workflows allow you to build, run, and monitor integrations in a fraction of the time — no steep learning curve required.
One Platform, Endless Possibilities
Unlike Talend, Etlworks combines ETL, ELT, CDC, reverse ETL, B2B/EDI integration, real-time streaming, and full API management in a single, unified platform. There’s no need for multiple add-ons or separate products to handle diverse data integration needs.
Gentle Learning Curve for Faster Results
Etlworks is accessible to users with low to intermediate technical skills, making it easy for teams to onboard quickly and deliver results faster. Talend typically requires more advanced expertise, which can slow down adoption and project timelines.
Enterprise-Grade ETL, Minus the Complexity
Etlworks makes it easy to move data across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments using no-code pipelines, real-time streaming, and full API integration. Unlike Talend Data Fabric, there’s no steep learning curve or inflated cost — just powerful features, intuitive workflows, and predictable pricing built for fast-moving teams.
