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."Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"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."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"The user interface is ok."
"We can extract data at a table level, extract data at the ETL level, and we can extract data at an ODP level."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"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."
"Denodo currently integrates with ChatGPT, but the ability to manage and utilize them directly within Denodo would be a significant improvement."
"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 solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"There are a couple of areas that can be improved in Denodo. From a stability point of view, sometimes we see issues in the data management functionality. This only happens now and then, however, and usually takes place when we add in our own customization."
"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."
"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."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
