We performed a comparison between Denodo and Informatica PowerExchange 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."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."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"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."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"The scalability is excellent."
"The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."
"The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
"Denodo currently integrates with ChatGPT, but the ability to manage and utilize them directly within Denodo would be a significant improvement."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"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."
"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."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
"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."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
