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.
KrishnaBaddam - PeerSpot reviewer
Supports API integrations and enables users to handle data management
Informatica is a well-established product known for its stability. Hardware and configuration can affect its performance, and it's not a lightweight tool that will fail quickly. When purchasing Informatica, you have options based on your needs. A simple data ingestion or integration license is relatively affordable, but the full Data Fabric suite is expensive. The Data Fabric suite includes integration, data quality, API management, big data processing, and real-time capabilities. For those who don't need the entire suite, purchasing individual components, such as data integration or data quality, it is a more cost-effective option. These individual licenses are generally less expensive than the complete Data Fabric suite, offering a more flexible and budget-friendly choice than Informatica's flagship.

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 Data Catalogs."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"Denodo provides several server connectivity options with other tools such as ODPC and UDPC. It supports API integrations, allowing integration with a wide range of databases using different technologies, including NoSQL and relational databases."
"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"The GUI interface allows easy connection of all data sources like API, JSON, or any JDBC source."
"Denodo's capabilities offer a strong and intuitive solution for data access."
"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"Talend can be used for multi-cloud purposes, allowing users to orchestrate data across various cloud platforms without purchasing AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or similar cloud-specific tools."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Everything in Talend Data Fabric is GUI-based, making it very user-friendly and easy to learn quickly."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
 

Cons

"The stability of the features can be improved."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"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."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"While AI and ML integration is present, understanding its implementation better could be beneficial."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"Data transformation must be improved."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"Talend's architecture is complex to configure, especially due to the various components involved. It requires a more intricate setup."
"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
"The support is not very good. The team is not well-trained, and resolving a ticket can require several discussions."
"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"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."
"There are multiple subscriptions available with Talend, each with its own scope. Subscriptions depend on the number of users you have and how many remote engines you want to install."
"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"
