Featured Reviews

Vishal_Goyal - PeerSpot reviewer
The data catalog feature helps define data structures without storing data
The data catalog feature is valuable as it helps define data structures without storing data. Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy. It supports API usage to call and present data in JSON or Tableau format without visualization capabilities.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"In PL/SQL, first you need to gather all the data and then start writing the file, but in Denodo you fetch the data and write the data simultaneously. So, for example, if you have 1 million or 2 million records, you don't have to wait to fetch all of the 2 million; you can keep on fetching and writing in the file simultaneously."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"While we may not be using all the features of Denodo at this time, we have found the data virtualization features to be very useful in helping us connect our data sources together, bringing all our data into one platform."
"It provides useful APIs and integrates with other systems."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The initial setup is easy."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
 

Cons

"Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions, and there are price issues, as it's considered expensive."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"It requires improving the story of how it can solve specific problems."
"The data catalog certainly has room for improvement. It is functional but we look forward to development. We are in constant contact with Denodo and they are fully aware of our needs."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."
"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."
"It requires some maintenance."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
