We performed a comparison between Denodo and IBM InfoSphere DataStage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."While we may not be using all the features of Denodo at this time, we have found the data virtualization features to be very useful in helping us connect our data sources together, bringing all our data into one platform."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"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 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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"I am impressed with the tool's ETL tracing."
"The solution has improved the time it takes to perform tasks related to batch applications."
"Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The Hierarchical Data Stage is good."
"The most valuable feature for our data processing needs is IBM InfoSphere DataStage's capability to handle ETL tasks with large record volumes."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"The best feature of IBM InfoSphere DataStage for me was that it was very much user-friendly. The solution didn't require that much raw coding because most of its features were drag and drop, plus it had a large number of functionalities."
"There have been some issues when you are at a table. Currently, Denodo exports data sets for a tabular model. When you are finished modeling your database or data warehouse they export a link to be used in Tableau. They should support other tools like Power BI."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"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."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"The data catalog certainly has room for improvement. It is functional but we look forward to development. We are in constant contact with Denodo and they are fully aware of our needs."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"There are three things that could improve - the cloud, monitoring and cloud integration. It's a solid product but not a modern one and of course it depends what you're looking for."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"The pricing should be lower."
"DataStage is quite expensive. It is too hard to find a consultant using DataStage in Turkey."
"We would be happy to see in next versions the ability to return several parameters from jobs. Now, jobs can return just one parameter. If they could return several parameters, that would be great."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
