We performed a comparison between Denodo and Talend Open Studio 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."It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"
"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."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"Tasks such as conversion of a date format or conversion of a number format that can be done in a very easy way in different languages, like SQL or Oracle, are not so easy to do in Denodo. For example, if you want to convert a date from one format to another, in Oracle it's pretty easy; in Denodo, however, it requires so many lines of code. Simple things that can be done very quickly in other database languages require more lines of code in Denodo."
"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."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"I would like to see a connectivity option with third-party apps, for example, JDBC, and ODBC drivers. Currently, we need to install it separately from the Denodo side and then connect it."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway."
"The security features could be improved."
