We performed a comparison between Denodo and Palantir Foundry 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."
"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 performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"It's scalable."
"The data lineage is great."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"Great features available in one tool."
"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 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."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"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."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"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."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The workflow could be improved."
