Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
6.8
Denodo improved efficiency, ROI, decision-making, reduced churn, and increased loyalty, significantly enhancing data processing and systems replacement.
Sentiment score
8.1
Qlik Replicate boosts efficiency by automating reporting, reducing costs, and accelerating data access for faster decision-making.
I conducted a cost comparison with the AWS service provider, and this option is much cheaper than the Kinesis service offered by AWS.
Customers have seen ROI with Qlik Replicate because they get their data for analysis faster, enabling quicker decision-making compared to traditional data sourcing methods.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.2
Denodo's support is praised for responsiveness and expertise but criticized for slow bug fixes and lack of proactive engagement.
Sentiment score
5.7
Qlik Replicate's support varies; clear communication helps, but users often face delays compared to more straightforward tools like HVR.
If we raise a ticket, it can be resolved or addressed within a reasonable time frame, so support is good.
Denodo's customer support team is very competent and responsive.
The documentation is very thorough.
Even priority tickets, which should be resolved in minutes, can take days.
Support response times could be improved as there are sometimes delays in receiving replies to support cases.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
Denodo is scalable and integrates widely but may require additional management for performance and cost efficiency.
Sentiment score
6.9
Qlik Replicate is scalable and flexible, benefiting medium organizations, but requires careful configuration and memory management for performance.
For huge data requests, it cannot scale automatically; admin action is required.
While the solution scales well on a single machine, I have doubts about its scalability when deployed as part of a Java component cluster.
Its complexity in configuring and the requirement to install different connectors for different sources affects its scalability.
The system could be scaled to include more sources and functions.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.9
Denodo offers robust stability with minor bugs; high reliability improves in the latest version despite complex scenario challenges.
Sentiment score
8.5
Qlik Replicate is stable, efficiently handles large data, and users rate its reliability highly, despite minor API concerns.
If JVM does not function properly, it may cause Denodo to fail to connect to different sources.
I would rate it nine out of ten because it is very reliable, always performing as expected.
 

Room For Improvement

The system needs comprehensive improvements in functionality, integration, support, UI, scalability, security, documentation, and external tool compatibility.
Qlik Replicate needs UI improvements, clearer pricing, better performance, increased automation, enhanced support, and expanded features and marketing.
The system has dependencies on other environments, like JVM, which can affect its performance.
Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions.
Ensuring data caching is up to date is critical.
It is a core-based licensing, which, especially in the banking industry, results in the system capacity being utilized up to a maximum of 60%.
Currently, there are limited transformations available in Qlik Replicate which could be expanded.
 

Setup Cost

Denodo pricing is costly, designed for large enterprises, with complex licensing and costs varying by customer needs.
Qlik Replicate is competitively priced compared to GoldenGate, but can be costly for smaller businesses with machine capacity-based pricing.
Denodo is considered pricey, limiting its use to large enterprises or government organizations that can afford its comprehensive setup.
Denodo's pricing is not affordable for small companies and is more suitable for medium to large enterprises.
Licensing is calculated based on the machine's total capacity rather than actual usage.
For Qlik Replicate, the setup cost includes the requirement of a server, which represents the hardware cost that must be covered.
 

Valuable Features

Denodo is praised for data virtualization, efficiently integrating and managing diverse sources with strong security, introspection, and visualization.
Qlik Replicate efficiently transforms data in real-time, offering ease of use, comprehensive support, and seamless integration for dynamic management.
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.
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.
Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy.
This occurs in near real-time, with replication happening within seconds at the target location.
Data retrieved from the system can be pushed to multiple places, supporting various divisions such as marketing, loans, and others.

Atanu Chatterjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Data virtualization and integration enabled while caching and scalability room for improvement
In terms of improvements for Denodo, regarding performance, in cases where there are multiple virtualizations—such as reading from one Denodo view that is virtualized, and from that view there's also virtualization, and another team is reading from that view—if multiple virtualizations happen with no caching in between, it becomes slow. This occurs because it is cascading; whenever at the top level someone is reading data, that request is getting cascaded to the nth level, causing issues, especially in cases such as Power BI reports. We need to consider implementing some persistent layer in between. The scaling process should improve because many things are getting automated. The scale-out part needs to be automated, though I am uncertain whether Denodo has already implemented that feature.
KrishnaBaddam - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight tool, ensures that data is replicated across different systems and simplify complex tasks such as defining relationships
Qlik Compose is something that will automate user's overall data modernization. Here data modernization includes data modeling, ETL jobs, etc. But the advantage is users can automate the overall process of data engineering and data modeling through Qlik Compose. I think that's useful when users are able to manage 60% of the workload automated. That will be very useful. That's fantastic. Replicate does not have a great AI capability. AI capabilities are present in Qlik Sense. Qlik Replicate is a very light tool. It is only meant to capture data from the log files, get the data, and transfer it, read that table structure, create the table structure, and transfer the data whenever there is a change. So, it basically integrates with the kernel of the operating system. The way it works is that these replicate tools will integrate with the kernel of the operating system, and they will access the redo log files of the database. The redo log should have access to all the files of the structure of the schema, too. So, using that technique, they redo all the data structures, create a similar structure, and replicate the structure in the target schema, table, and database. After that is done, it will start tracing the instances that are happening. For example, if data is inserted into the table, then an insert is fired on the statement on the table. So, that particular insert is captured. And based on that insert statement, it will pull the SQL query and say, "Okay, there is an insert. I need to get that data." It will get the data from the redo log itself rather than going to a database. Then, it will just pass that transaction into the target system, where it will just insert the data. And this happens instantaneously, within a microsecond. So, if there is an insert, an update, or a delete, everything is transferred immediately. It is picked from the redo log because it comes to the redo log, and then the redo log sends it to Qlik Replicate and Replicate to the target system on which Replicate is installed.
