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."In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"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 most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"The most valuable feature is the performance. Denodo is very useful, especially in this huge pharma environment. I've found that older SAP solutions were very tightly coupled to each other, which resulted in data restrictions. Getting data from different sources was tough and tedious. Compared to these old solutions, Denodo is very easy to work with for the analytical team. Now that we've implemented this virtualization layer, we are capable of getting the data very smoothly. We implemented a very small unit, but the performance and integration have been very good."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"What's most valuable in SAP HANA is that it covers the business process systems of my company. The solution also helps because it makes almost everything automated. Another valuable feature of SAP HANA is that it can be integrated with third parties and other enhancements needed by the company."
"The functionality is of the solution is very good."
"The in-memory database is excellent."
"SAP HANA is one of the best databases known for its performance...The new version of the solution is stable."
"Eases management of databases."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"SAP HANA's interface is pretty user-friendly."
"It is difficult for me to narrow down what the best features are in SAP HANA because they work together to provide the overall functionality of the solution. However, the Fiori application is very good."
"It would be beneficial to make sure that the team that will be using Denodo has some kind of training on how to use the product at least a month beforehand, and there could even be some kind of feedback or Q&A sessions to go along with the training. If Denodo were able to provide this kind of training, it would be very helpful to users in insurance and banking companies because the staff are typically older and not always technically-minded."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
"Performance management could be improved."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved. Instead of applying security at every individual level, it would be better if it were at the group or tier level. It will save a lot of time."
"The integration could use improvement, it's a lot of non-speed line processes that we have discovered, in the country. The configurations could use a lot more improvement."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"The solution is very expensive, however. The pricing depends on the number of users and many other factors that affect licensing."
"There's an issue in the partition. When you record more than two million records, partitioning does not work well. In Oracle it's easy. SAP must resolve this issue in order to be more competitive with Oracle."
"Per SAP, you can do both transactional and analytical processes in SAP HANA. Though that's true, the speed is slower when you combine the two functions, so this is what I'd like SAP to improve in SAP HANA. In the next release, I want to see better diagrams in SAP HANA and a more user-friendly interface."
"I would like more technical documentation. I would like it to be easier to find online help or have a better launch-based service. SAP has a lot of functions, so we need more best practices and more detailed documentation on industry solutions. For example, it would be good to have documentation on why a certain process needs to be set up and which kinds of configurations need to be set up."
"High availability and disaster recovery are very poor in HANA."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It's a complex initial setup."
"I would like to see improvement on the feedback from the road-map; it is currently extremely hard to get insight in this area."
