We performed a comparison between Denodo and SAS Data Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The best thing about Denodo is that creating and deploying a web service can be done in about 10 minutes, compared to a whole day when it comes to other solutions (such as when deploying with Java and AWS)."
"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."
"Data mining is one of the valuable features. We're able to connect all of the data sources with the installed driver, so that is a good advantage in Denodo. Being able to join the tables and view them is also valuable."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"It can support a number of data sources, and it can pull flat files, from cloud-based databases or from those on-premises. Denodo can pull from any data source and interface with the view. Then, we can publish the view."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"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."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"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 can improve usage management-related aspects. If you deal with the mini views, it gets stuck. The performance is very slow when we go with a large number of views and high volume."
"I would like it if we could pull the data model or export the data model because Denodo has, based on how you build, something called associations. The data model gets very confusing when you go look at it. It depends on how you define it, but it's really huge. I wish there was a way to export it into Visio. It could be that they already have a way to do it, and I don't know, but it would be much easier for the architects and even for the developers to look at it than scrunching it into the screen and expanding every small portion of it. If there was an easy way to export the Denodo model into another modeling tool and view it, it would be great."
"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
Denodo is ranked 12th in Data Integration with 29 reviews while SAS Data Integration Server is ranked 32nd in Data Integration with 3 reviews. Denodo is rated 7.8, while SAS Data Integration Server is rated 7.4. The top reviewer of Denodo writes "Saves our underwriters' time with data virtualization, but could provide more learning resources". On the other hand, the top reviewer of SAS Data Integration Server writes "A stable and scalable tool with data handling capabilities and an amazing technical support". Denodo is most compared with Azure Data Factory, AWS Glue, Delphix, Informatica PowerCenter and Mule Anypoint Platform, whereas SAS Data Integration Server is most compared with Palantir Foundry, SSIS, Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), Azure Data Factory and AWS Glue.
