We performed a comparison between Denodo and SAP Data Services 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."Data mining is one of the valuable features. We're able to connect all of the data sources with the installed driver, so that is a good advantage in Denodo. Being able to join the tables and view them is also valuable."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"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."
"Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The most valuable features of SAP Data Services lie in its ability to effectively observe and interpret the information within data related to people or facts, stands out."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"It's easy to understand and deploy. It's easy to create new applications, and depending on the complexity of the application, it is easy to deploy the new requirements."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
