Data virtualization has unified siloed sources and now supports real-time decisions
The best features Denodo offers stand out to me as the ability to develop REST web services fast and easily, create and combine new views, integrate different sources of data, and connect with other tools seamlessly. When I mention fast and easy creation of views and integration, I love the agile data provisioning and integration, where Denodo provides a comprehensive set of capabilities for implementing logical data integration, management, and delivery, which in turn enables agile data analytics and an informed decision-making process to be smooth. I also appreciate the performance optimization with AI, which improves performance optimization through the integration of artificial intelligence capabilities. Furthermore, I appreciate the unified security and governance, where it addresses the need for an organization to effectively manage security, data privacy, and data protection easily, offering a centralized platform that allows the application of governance policies and fine-grained security controls. Another feature I would add about Denodo is that it also provides a single point of control where we can establish security controls over the entire infrastructure and gain visibility into all our data assets. Denodo has positively impacted my organization as since we started using this tool, it has been very helpful because it is a huge advantage that we can connect to many different databases to provide data rapidly and accurately and also gain insights, which helps us to make data-driven decisions easily. It has proven to be a valuable environment for deploying data virtualization solutions, and its user community is active in finding and fixing issues more accurately. Through data insights from Denodo, we have been able to improve our decision making, which helps to better communication between the stakeholders thanks to the real-time experience. It also saves a lot of time.

Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Considering that the time to do such things has come down to 20 minutes from three hours, you can tell how much time has been saved by using Denodo."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Getting queries is great. They are really good. You can basically write SQL statements, and it can convert to MDX queries or to MongoDB queries, or any kind of data source."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"Denodo simplifies your work and helps you ship code or ship solutions in a faster way."
"In terms of data virtualization, I think it's very well-rounded."
"It provides useful APIs and integrates with other systems."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"With the migration into the new version, the performance has improved and our customers are pleased with this improvement."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The solution is working well; we don't have any operational problems with it at all."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
 

Cons

"The git configuration really should be improved."
"Denodo's training documentation could be improved by providing more material."
"Denodo shows stability concerns due to its dependency on external environments, such as JVM."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"Denodo can be improved in some areas. We faced some issues with respect to Java client dependencies and had significant hassle with version management."
"With this product, the scalability of Denodo isn't fully up to the mark."
"One thing that I felt is that there is a learning curve for Denodo. It's not something that people just start using."
"Don't have too high expectations on data catalog functionality. It works, but, its current implementation is rather rudimental."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"The company has come out with a new version, SAP Cloud Integrator, which is not as good as the older version."
"The solution isn't meant to scale when high-volume transactions are in play; the scalability could improve."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"The price for SAP Process Orchestration is a little high when compared to market trends, which is just how the business is."
"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."
"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"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."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
