We performed a comparison between Boomi iPaaS and Denodo based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"In PL/SQL, first you need to gather all the data and then start writing the file, but in Denodo you fetch the data and write the data simultaneously. So, for example, if you have 1 million or 2 million records, you don't have to wait to fetch all of the 2 million; you can keep on fetching and writing in the file simultaneously."
"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."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"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."
"Denodo is very stable."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"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."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
