We performed a comparison between Denodo and Fivetran 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 logical data warehouse functionality is fantastic. It truly stands out. The ClearOptimizer and Virtual Cache are great features. They work together seamlessly to optimize performance."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"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)."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"It can support a number of data sources, and it can pull flat files, from cloud-based databases or from those on-premises. Denodo can pull from any data source and interface with the view. Then, we can publish the view."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"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 occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"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."
"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."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
