Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Celigo
- Prices are not published on any of the three editions
- Billed on endpoints and flows, so the cost is driven by how many systems you connect rather than by volume through them
- API Builder, lookup caching and a sandbox all require the Professional edition
- Single sign-on is optional on Standard and included from Professional up
- Unlimited endpoints and the full governance features are Enterprise only
Talend
- Pricing page for all four editions (Starter, Standard, Premium, Enterprise) shows Contact Us or Contact Sales instead of any dollar figures
- Billed by usage capacity combining data volume moved, number of job executions and execution duration rather than a simple per seat rate
