Sentiment score
6.9
Talend Data Management Platform improves efficiency and cost savings with fast integration and easy deployment, benefiting many users.
We actually achieved the first 18 months worth of work in the first six months.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.2
Denodo's support is praised for responsiveness and expertise but criticized for slow bug fixes and lack of proactive engagement.
Sentiment score
5.3
Talend excels in initial support with responsive interactions, but users seek faster escalations and improved technical documentation.
If we raise a ticket, it can be resolved or addressed within a reasonable time frame, so support is good.
Denodo's customer support team is very competent and responsive.
The documentation is very thorough.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
Denodo is scalable and integrates widely but may require additional management for performance and cost efficiency.
Sentiment score
7.6
Talend Data Management Platform offers strong scalability, integrating with cloud and Docker, suitable for large-scale enterprise operations.
For huge data requests, it cannot scale automatically; admin action is required.
Its complexity in configuring and the requirement to install different connectors for different sources affects its scalability.
While the solution scales well on a single machine, I have doubts about its scalability when deployed as part of a Java component cluster.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.9
Denodo offers robust stability with minor bugs; high reliability improves in the latest version despite complex scenario challenges.
Sentiment score
7.1
Talend Data Management Platform is stable and reliable, but issues may arise with upgrades, performance, and external systems.
If JVM does not function properly, it may cause Denodo to fail to connect to different sources.
I would rate it nine out of ten because it is very reliable, always performing as expected.
We have not encountered many issues with remote engines, and the interfaces are properly developed.
 

Room For Improvement

The system needs comprehensive improvements in functionality, integration, support, UI, scalability, security, documentation, and external tool compatibility.
Talend faces installation, support, and performance issues, with users seeking improvements in usability, scalability, and documentation accuracy.
The system has dependencies on other environments, like JVM, which can affect its performance.
Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions.
Ensuring data caching is up to date is critical.
On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something.
Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration.
 

Setup Cost

Denodo pricing is costly, designed for large enterprises, with complex licensing and costs varying by customer needs.
Talend's pricing offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness but presents high setup costs and limited mid-tier options for enterprise users.
Denodo is considered pricey, limiting its use to large enterprises or government organizations that can afford its comprehensive setup.
Denodo's pricing is not affordable for small companies and is more suitable for medium to large enterprises.
 

Valuable Features

Denodo is praised for data virtualization, efficiently integrating and managing diverse sources with strong security, introspection, and visualization.
Talend Data Management Platform offers high-performance data integration, real-time access, advanced monitoring, and user-friendly features for efficient operations.
Denodo supports SQL base, so if you want to join two tables or two views, you can use SQL, which is an advantage as most developers or business people know SQL.
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.
Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy.
Having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial.

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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive documentation and smooth collaboration have transformed our development process
There are always areas for improvement. They have actually in the last 12 months done a lot of work on the UI. If you had contacted me at Christmas last year, the UI was really dated. Now, they have not finished cleaning it up or bringing it into a new flash version. But because it has such a simple design, it is actually so easy to use. They have taken a lot of the complexity out of it, so you just click on a button and it does it all for you. I think one weakness, which I might have worked around today, is spatial data. But that might change by Monday. That is again because there is so much functionality, actually the real weakness is they have got too much functionality, if that is a weakness. Because there are 10 ways to do everything, and each way has its own pros and cons, and you really have to make your decision about which way to implement it. When you have five developers or three developers doing something, it is very easy for three people to do the same thing three different ways. On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something. It means that a lot of our custom environments are fantastic because we can just plug it in a slightly different way. But because it does so much, it is a lot to get your head around the whole thing. We tend to focus on the small stuff that we are adding value to right now.
