We performed a comparison between Denodo and TIBCO BusinessWorks 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 features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"The most valuable features of Denodo are the extraction option for adapters, and there are many things for the views, that are cached. Denodo is not storing the data, it looks first to tune the query, and these things are for the agents."
"In PL/SQL, first you need to gather all the data and then start writing the file, but in Denodo you fetch the data and write the data simultaneously. So, for example, if you have 1 million or 2 million records, you don't have to wait to fetch all of the 2 million; you can keep on fetching and writing in the file simultaneously."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"It is a very robust system."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"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."
"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 cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
