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."Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"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."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"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."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"I have worked with Data Services for a long time, and currently, I find the dashboarding and reporting part to be the most valuable function."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"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."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"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 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."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"The integration could use improvement, it's a lot of non-speed line processes that we have discovered, in the country. The configurations could use a lot more improvement."
"Denodo currently integrates with ChatGPT, but the ability to manage and utilize them directly within Denodo would be a significant improvement."
"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."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"Scheduling of jobs in the sequence is not available. It's a very tedious process to do that particular task. If there was a tool to schedule in the sequence that would be extremely helpful."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex."
