We performed a comparison between Denodo and Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a very stable solution."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch 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."
"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."
"Denodo is very stable."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"We can scan anything."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"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."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
