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.

Easy-to-use product with the ability to generate code efficiently
Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently. This feature streamlines the integration process, saving developers time and effort. Additionally, the stability of the generated code is noteworthy, as it ensures reliability over time. Despite not always producing the most aesthetically pleasing code, it eliminates critical errors, reducing the burden on developers. This stability is particularly crucial in complex integration scenarios, where errors can have significant consequences.

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 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."
"The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"I'm very passionate about this solution because if you look at any other tool that costs around $200 - $300,000, like Delphix which costs you a million dollars, Talend is very cheap and is almost is at par with what others can do. There is one thing which Delphix does which Talend cannot do, but overall, I would say apart from that, if you're looking for a solution, you should give it a try."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
 

Cons

"The git configuration really should be improved."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"Performance management could be improved."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"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."
"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."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell."
"Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"I am not super familiar with the pricing, but so far, it seems good. We have been happy. We haven't seen any problems. The only time we had to pay extra was during the upgrade. We didn't upgrade at the time they told us to upgrade, and we had to pay extra to keep the service. They had stopped the support for the older version and moved to the newer version. It was not their fault. It was our fault because we didn't get on board quickly."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"I have been using the open-source version."
