We performed a comparison between Denodo and Teradata QueryGrid based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."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 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."
"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 ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"Denodo is very stable."
"It is a highly robust software solution."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"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 it if we could pull the data model or export the data model because Denodo has, based on how you build, something called associations. The data model gets very confusing when you go look at it. It depends on how you define it, but it's really huge. I wish there was a way to export it into Visio. It could be that they already have a way to do it, and I don't know, but it would be much easier for the architects and even for the developers to look at it than scrunching it into the screen and expanding every small portion of it. If there was an easy way to export the Denodo model into another modeling tool and view it, it would be great."
"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."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"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."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"The primary challenge with Teradata lies in its cost structure, encompassing subscription fees, software licenses, and hardware expenses."
Denodo is ranked 12th in Data Integration with 29 reviews while Teradata QueryGrid is ranked 31st in Data Integration with 1 review. Denodo is rated 7.8, while Teradata QueryGrid is rated 9.0. The top reviewer of Denodo writes "Saves our underwriters' time with data virtualization, but could provide more learning resources". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Teradata QueryGrid writes "Unified and efficient query processing that seamlessly integrates and analyzes data from heterogeneous sources". Denodo is most compared with Azure Data Factory, AWS Glue, Delphix, Mule Anypoint Platform and Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog, whereas Teradata QueryGrid is most compared with Teradata Data Mover, IBM InfoSphere DataStage and SSIS.
