Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Talend yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Talend across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Talend or MuleSoft if you need a balance of power and usability with vendor support” Claude Haiku 4.5 · ETL · direct prompt · first choice

“start with Talend Open Studio or Apache NiFi (both free)” MiniMax M2.5 · ETL · budget prompt · first choice

“Talend Cloud offers hybrid deployment and granular control, making it suitable for regulated or complex environments.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · ETL · direct prompt · alternative

“Strong transformation and data quality capabilities; often chosen when governance and complex integration matter.” GPT-5.4 mini · ETL · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Why to avoid: Any existing Talend Open Studio pipelines are running on frozen, unpatched 2023-era Java and JDBC drivers.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ETL · negative prompt · hard negative

“Legacy/Enterprise Tools (e.g., Informatica PowerCenter, Talend, Microsoft SSIS)... Avoid if: You're starting fresh” Grok 4.1 Fast · ETL · negative prompt · hard negative

“Do not use it. Qlik (which acquired Talend) officially discontinued and retired Talend Open Studio” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ETL · budget prompt · hard negative

“retired as of January 31, 2026, so it should generally be avoided for new work” Perplexity Sonar · ETL · negative prompt · hard negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Talend. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 65 of the 88 answers that named Talend and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Talend's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Talend, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at talend.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
