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.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the performance. Denodo is very useful, especially in this huge pharma environment. I've found that older SAP solutions were very tightly coupled to each other, which resulted in data restrictions. Getting data from different sources was tough and tedious. Compared to these old solutions, Denodo is very easy to work with for the analytical team. Now that we've implemented this virtualization layer, we are capable of getting the data very smoothly. We implemented a very small unit, but the performance and integration have been very good."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"Denodo provides high reliability, with features like vertical scaling, horizontal scaling, and failover nodes."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"Performance management could be improved."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
"I am still waiting for Denodo to support vector databases."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"Cost wise, on a scale from one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, Denodo would be at three. We get all the features in a bundle."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
