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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"The GUI interface allows easy connection of all data sources like API, JSON, or any JDBC source."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"A very user friendly solution."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
 

Cons

"While AI and ML integration is present, understanding its implementation better could be beneficial."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"They need to invest more in the optimization engine. It will be a fantastic tool for them to enhance automation and improve the GUI interface, especially for Integration, as some tools are still not fully integrated, such as Iceberg."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"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."
"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 server-side should be completely revamped."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"Cost wise, on a scale from one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, Denodo would be at three. We get all the features in a bundle."
"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."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
