Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Choose Talend / Informatica when you need enterprise-grade governance, visual design, 1000+ connectors and hybrid on-prem/cloud support.” Muse Glimmer 30B · ETL · comparative prompt · first choice
“Talend Open Studio or Apache NiFi are often recommended as they offer good functionality without licensing costs” Claude Haiku 4.5 · ETL · budget prompt · first choice
“If you want zero licensing cost and a visual designer → Talend Open Studio is the most full‑featured free option.” MiniMax M2.5 · ETL · budget prompt · first choice
“Talend includes basic masking functions within its ETL pipeline... though advanced features may require a paid upgrade” Mistral Small · Data masking · budget 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.

“If you have an existing Informatica PowerCenter, Talend Data Integration, or Azure Data Factory footprint, plan migration rather than expansion” Muse Glimmer 30B · ETL · negative prompt · hard negative
“Older/Legacy (e.g., Talend, Apache Atlas) | Scalability limits, outdated UI, Hadoop-centric; avoid for modern AI/data stacks.” Grok 4.20 · Data catalogs · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid starting new production work on it. Qlik retired the open-source edition on January 31, 2024” GPT-6 Luna · ETL · negative prompt · hard negative
“has been retired (as of January 2026) and is no longer recommended for new projects” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ETL · budget prompt · hard negative

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, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 117 of the 139 answers that named Talend and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page qlik.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

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.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Talend by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Talend is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Talend, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at qlik.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
