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."The best thing about Denodo is that creating and deploying a web service can be done in about 10 minutes, compared to a whole day when it comes to other solutions (such as when deploying with Java and AWS)."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"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 basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"Tasks such as conversion of a date format or conversion of a number format that can be done in a very easy way in different languages, like SQL or Oracle, are not so easy to do in Denodo. For example, if you want to convert a date from one format to another, in Oracle it's pretty easy; in Denodo, however, it requires so many lines of code. Simple things that can be done very quickly in other database languages require more lines of code in Denodo."
"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."
"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 dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"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."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"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."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"We would like the different tools offered within this solution to be available as standalone entities, rather than having to purchase the entire package when we only require a few features."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
