We performed a comparison between Denodo and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Virtualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Denodo are the extraction option for adapters, and there are many things for the views, that are cached. Denodo is not storing the data, it looks first to tune the query, and these things are for the agents."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"It can support a number of data sources, and it can pull flat files, from cloud-based databases or from those on-premises. Denodo can pull from any data source and interface with the view. Then, we can publish the view."
"One thing that we have noticed is that when you have a BI tool, you end up building a lot of the logic in the BI tool, but as a company, every company wants to be tool agnostic because today, you could be in the Qlik Sense, and tomorrow, you may decide to go with Tableau or something else that is there. If you have put a lot of logic within the tool, transitioning or moving away from one BI tool to another tool becomes a very intensive process. By keeping the logic in Denodo, you can move to any tool."
"It is a very stable solution."
"A very feature-rich solution with excellent performance."
"It's user-friendly so long as you use it frequently."
"I like the integration process. Also, the data is trusted by our management, and we use the data from transactions for analysis."
"This is a feature-rich product and I like all of them."
"The UX experience is very good."
"One feature I find very valuable, is the response time of the application on the database memory."
"We have found the solution to be customizable and it is beneficial it comes as a bundled package. Additionally, it is user-friendly."
"What I like best about SAP HANA is that it's faster than Microsoft SQL Server."
"Denodo can improve usage management-related aspects. If you deal with the mini views, it gets stuck. The performance is very slow when we go with a large number of views and high volume."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"Monitoring event logs can be improved. In the older version, there was a monitoring schedule to get event reports and properly audit the reports. In the newer version, it is not there, and we have to manually configure data and audit events."
"Denodo's training documentation could be improved by providing more material. From an administrative standpoint, I've found that only Denodo websites provide the usual tutorials. It may be because it's a bit of a restricted tool, but it results in trouble with learning. Normally, I can find help and solutions from other sources, but I haven't been able to find any for Denodo. Other that, it's fine and it performs well. I only have six months of experience, so I can't accurately suggest improvements."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"Performance management could be improved."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"The SAP HANA interface has room for improvement because it takes more work to manage than the Microsoft SQL Server interface."
"In terms of improvement, the speed is not as good as we thought it would be. That is why we are trying different solutions that will be built with different technologies."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The inclusion of a well-performing Time Machine is vital."
"Ease of use could be improved in SAP HANA. I like SAP because SAP solutions can be used by anyone, which means even laymen can start working on SAP tools, but in SAP HANA modeling, you'll need to know some other technologies and sequel scripting, and you need a separate skillset, so if you don't have the skillset, you won't be able to work on SAP HANA. Making SAP HANA low-code would make it even better."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should develop and improve the solution's data management system."
"High availability and disaster recovery are very poor in HANA."
