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."Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"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."
"The logical data warehouse functionality is fantastic. It truly stands out. The ClearOptimizer and Virtual Cache are great features. They work together seamlessly to optimize performance."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"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 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."
"Some functions have good performance."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
"Its in-memory capabilities are good, which is why many companies still use it."
"The main feature is that the processes are very flexible, they are able to be adapted to the business and their departments."
"SAP HANA is one of the best databases known for its performance...The new version of the solution is stable."
"The performance is very, very good. It's one of the best aspects of the solution."
"We have found the solution to be customizable and it is beneficial it comes as a bundled package. Additionally, it is user-friendly."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"Denodo currently integrates with ChatGPT, but the ability to manage and utilize them directly within Denodo would be a significant improvement."
"HANA could be improved by adding analytics and development models in the institution."
"The solution needs to work on its performance and make it faster."
"When we are using SAP HANA we have some difficulty with the customization. We would like to be able to add and make customized menus."
"While new users to this solution have the benefit of the new design, existing ERP users may experience issues with migrating legacy data. We would like to see development of ready-made tools that allow for easy mapping when upgrading."
"FI, or the financial module of SAP, has room for improvement. It has to have some better localization for the Middle East, especially in regards to taxes and the letter of credit cycle. I would like to see better localization from the HCM."
"I would have rated the solution higher if this version was not missing some key features the newer version has."
"The interface is a little bit hard to customize. You almost have to consult the SAP original developer to change it."
"I give the scalability of SAP HANA a six out of ten."
