We performed a comparison between Denodo and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Virtualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Denodo are the extraction option for adapters, and there are many things for the views, that are cached. Denodo is not storing the data, it looks first to tune the query, and these things are for the agents."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"A very feature-rich solution with excellent performance."
"The performance in terms of processing time is unmatched due to the in-memory processing capability."
"The solution is very stable."
"The performance is very, very good. It's one of the best aspects of the solution."
"We have found the solution to be customizable and it is beneficial it comes as a bundled package. Additionally, it is user-friendly."
"The user interface is very good. You can do any kind of reporting analytics from the platform."
"Eases management of databases."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"There are a couple of areas that can be improved in Denodo. From a stability point of view, sometimes we see issues in the data management functionality. This only happens now and then, however, and usually takes place when we add in our own customization."
"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."
"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 support is not the best and should be improved."
"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."
"Monitoring event logs can be improved. In the older version, there was a monitoring schedule to get event reports and properly audit the reports. In the newer version, it is not there, and we have to manually configure data and audit events."
"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."
"The documentation can be improved in the future."
"The performance and integration with other products are areas in need of improvement."
"The pricing could be better."
"SAP HANA isn't user-friendly, and it's very hard to train newcomers to use it."
"The only downside of the product is that it is an expensive solution that needs to consider lowering its prices to improve the product."
"SAP HANA's long run time to extract data could be improved upon."
"In a future release, SAP HANA should add a module for taxation, such as income tax and withholding tax."
"When you do a report on a non-SAP platform, you face some compatibility problems."
