We performed a comparison between Denodo and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Virtualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"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."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"When we upgraded, we received more functions or more features."
"Eases management of databases."
"The speed at which it gets the data is great."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is the modeling of the databases."
"SAP HANA's interface is pretty user-friendly."
"The solution can easily be modeled."
"We appreciate that the current, redesigned version of this solution that is much more straightforward for new users, and has been well thought out with industry best practice standards in mind."
"The best feature of SAP HANA is column computing. The computing speed of the solution is also very high, so developers can easily develop programs through SAP HANA."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"Monitoring event logs can be improved. In the older version, there was a monitoring schedule to get event reports and properly audit the reports. In the newer version, it is not there, and we have to manually configure data and audit events."
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved. Instead of applying security at every individual level, it would be better if it were at the group or tier level. It will save a lot of time."
"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."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"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."
"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."
"There are a couple of areas that can be improved in Denodo. From a stability point of view, sometimes we see issues in the data management functionality. This only happens now and then, however, and usually takes place when we add in our own customization."
"In my limited experience using SAP, the process of granting access to different modules is difficult. Specifically, the requirement to assign roles and key codes to users rather than being able to assign them individually made the process more complex. It would be beneficial if there was a way to assign key codes separately, rather than having to create multiple roles. This would make managing access easier."
"The only downside of the product is that it is an expensive solution that needs to consider lowering its prices to improve the product."
"It could be a bit more scalable."
"SAP HANA's long run time to extract data could be improved upon."
"When we are using SAP HANA we have some difficulty with the customization. We would like to be able to add and make customized menus."
"The solution's development platform should be more flexible and scalable to adapt to other solutions."
"In a future release, SAP HANA should add a module for taxation, such as income tax and withholding tax."
"I would like to see improvement on the feedback from the road-map; it is currently extremely hard to get insight in this area."
