ROI

Sentiment score

7.0

Celonis drives substantial ROI through cost savings, efficiency, process improvements, and business transformation, with multimillion-dollar financial impacts.

Sentiment score

6.5

Denodo boosts ROI by enabling rapid reporting, improving decision-making, and streamlining data integration for enhanced efficiency and customer satisfaction.

In the first couple of years, I would not expect a return on investment because the initial setup will take more than a year if the process requires significant customization.

Praveen Bansal

Senior Business Intelligence Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Automated exception handling cut manual process touchpoints by approximately 30 to 40%, saving approximately 15,000 to 20,000 operational labor hours annually.

Prateek Rao

PARTNER & MANAGING DIRECTOR at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

In my opinion, there's a positive return on investment.

It provides a positive return on investment for those who can connect multiple data sources and make data-driven decisions easily.

Patel-Dhulva

Information Technology Manager at Lockheed Martin

If you don't need to write a whole ETL to make the data virtualization, you need way fewer people to write a query instead of writing an ETL pipeline.

Douglas Camargo

Senior Backend Engineer at a pharma/biotech company with 51-200 employees

I have seen a return on investment, which showed up in improved customer satisfaction scores.

Sentiment score

7.1

Celonis is highly scalable, with strong integration capabilities, preferred over Tableau and Power BI for process mining.

Sentiment score

7.1

Denodo effectively scales across organizations, managing many users and data sources, but performance may vary with automation and configuration.

I recall that when we started using Celonis, we had a space of five terabytes and around one thousand users, and Celonis managed all of that easily.

Praveen Bansal

Senior Business Intelligence Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

I recommend focusing on recent data or perhaps five years of historical data along with live data for better visibility and stability in the process.

reviewer2795421

Room For Improvement

Celonis' high cost, complex setup, and integration challenges deter users, who seek improvements in usability, support, and documentation.

Denodo should expand markets, improve UI and integration, address performance issues, and enhance support and documentation.

Ultimately, I need niche expertise, combining strong SAP knowledge with Celonis competency.

Attila Aranyos

Setup Cost

Celonis pricing is high, especially for scaling enterprises, with costs rising with users and data, but free versions exist.

Denodo pricing is high, suitable for larger enterprises, with variable costs and value-enhancing features, seen as fair by many.

I think it's relatively expensive, but it's also good.

Attila Aranyos

Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy.

reviewer2592669

Director Software Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees

The most valuable feature of Denodo is its uniformity of self-site data access types, which allows it to connect to almost any storage technology and feed it transparently.

Arnest D'Haene

Datawarehouse & BI consultant, Owner, Mananging partner at NesCon B.V.

Denodo supports SQL base, so if you want to join two tables or two views, you can use SQL, which is an advantage as most developers or business people know SQL.

Prateek Rao

PARTNER & MANAGING DIRECTOR at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Process intelligence has transformed procurement and order cycles and delivers measurable savings

Celonis can improve in several areas. The initial data modeling and continuous real-time ingestion, especially from non-standard legacy systems, can still be complex and quite resource-intensive, requiring a steep PQL learning curve for non-technical users. Simplifying the interface for business stakeholders would significantly accelerate the process. I think introducing a natural language to query interface would allow business users to query data without writing long PQL. Streamlining guided onboarding flows and offering modular plug-and-play dashboard templates tailored to specific roles would shorten ramp-up time for daily users. I think more transparent and predictable consumption-based pricing models would be helpful as data volume scaling can get costly quickly. I would also love to see native, real-time streaming connectors for unstructured data such as emails and support tickets. The learning curve for new users of Celonis is one of the pain points I raised earlier, and I find it to be quite steep.

Douglas Camargo

Has simplified multi-database querying and accelerated solution delivery with minimal setup

Denodo offers a great query language, the VQL, which was very easy to understand for someone that only knows SQL. It was easy to work with, and it was easy to integrate various types of databases in general. The usability of the platform is very great. The federated queries were also a feature that I used a lot. The easy usability of Denodo helped my work and made things easier for productivity. We were able to ship code faster than if we needed to use another type of data visualization tool or even an ETL. When we have multiple databases, the standard or common approach is just to have an ETL that matches the data, and we need to write this whole ETL. With Denodo, we can simplify this whole work to a few queries or setups in the databases and just make a few queries. This was actually easier, and it was faster to deliver a solution for a client instead of building a whole ETL pipeline or simply backfilling one database in another. Denodo simplifies your work and helps you ship code or ship solutions in a faster way. I really like the UI that Denodo has on the web app version. It was very simple and actually very beautiful to see. For a complicated program, it was very easy to understand how it works, even for someone who is just approaching the data engineering career or side of the programming language.
