We performed a comparison between Denodo and Informatica PowerCenter based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 most valuable feature is the performance. Denodo is very useful, especially in this huge pharma environment. I've found that older SAP solutions were very tightly coupled to each other, which resulted in data restrictions. Getting data from different sources was tough and tedious. Compared to these old solutions, Denodo is very easy to work with for the analytical team. Now that we've implemented this virtualization layer, we are capable of getting the data very smoothly. We implemented a very small unit, but the performance and integration have been very good."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"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."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"The ability to scale through partitions helped us to improve the performance."
"It has a Data Catalog that uses the Model repository."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring tools and the reporting manager."
"I like the completeness of the way I can build ETL workflows."
"It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"The technical support for Informatica PowerCenter is good."
"We have found the PowerCenter and B2B data transformation most valuable."
"The technical support is excellent."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"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 dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see Informatica PowerCenter integrate a more powerful dashboard."
"Areas for improvement in Informatica PowerCenter include scalability and high availability or the clustering configuration because that's still very basic. The elasticity or scaling of the platform needs a lot of improvement. For example, when it comes to DR handling or building an active-active or active-passive cluster, Informatica PowerCenter is still not that powerful. Automation also needs improvement in the solution. Improving automation leads to some improvement in the stability of Informatica PowerCenter and other aspects related to it. What I'd like to see in the next release of Informatica PowerCenter is real-time capability because the solution is mainly for patches, and to have real-time integration, you need to count on some additional components from Informatica. I would expect more integration and a complete platform in terms of real-time capability or patching with minimal interventions or minimal components to be aligned together."
"The licensing is difficult."
"The multiple interfaces in Informatica PowerCenter are not great for the user experience. Because of this, I think it can cause confusion for any beginner developer."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, considering the fact that the present licensing charges of the tool are expensive."
"Integration with Artificial Intelligence would benefit this solution."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"It should be more cloud-centric than on-prem-centric."
