Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
Denodo is scalable and integrates widely but may require additional management for performance and cost efficiency.
Sentiment score
7.4
Teradata's cloud capabilities offer flexible, efficient scalability, though some users face cost and on-premise expansion challenges.
For huge data requests, it cannot scale automatically; admin action is required.
While the solution scales well on a single machine, I have doubts about its scalability when deployed as part of a Java component cluster.
Its complexity in configuring and the requirement to install different connectors for different sources affects its scalability.
This expansion can occur without incurring downtime or taking systems offline.
Scalability is complex as you need to purchase a license and coordinate with Teradata for additional disk space and CPU.
Teradata's scalability is great; it's been awesome.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.9
Denodo offers robust stability with minor bugs; high reliability improves in the latest version despite complex scenario challenges.
Sentiment score
8.3
Teradata is praised for stability with high uptime, robust architecture, minimal downtime, and effective workload management despite occasional issues.
I would rate it nine out of ten because it is very reliable, always performing as expected.
If JVM does not function properly, it may cause Denodo to fail to connect to different sources.
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten.
The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system.
 

Room For Improvement

The system needs comprehensive improvements in functionality, integration, support, UI, scalability, security, documentation, and external tool compatibility.
Teradata needs improvements in transactional processing, user interface, pricing, integration, analytics, scalability, AI features, and support.
Ensuring data caching is up to date is critical.
Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions.
The system has dependencies on other environments, like JVM, which can affect its performance.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
The most challenging aspect is finding Teradata resources, so we are focusing on internal training and looking for more Teradata experts.
 

Setup Cost

Denodo pricing is costly, designed for large enterprises, with complex licensing and costs varying by customer needs.
Teradata's high pricing is justified by performance, with flexible models offering value for large projects, requiring negotiation.
Denodo is considered pricey, limiting its use to large enterprises or government organizations that can afford its comprehensive setup.
Denodo's pricing is not affordable for small companies and is more suitable for medium to large enterprises.
Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
We spent roughly $295,000 on setup costs.
 

Valuable Features

Denodo is praised for data virtualization, efficiently integrating and managing diverse sources with strong security, introspection, and visualization.
Teradata offers scalable, fast processing with excellent performance, adaptability, ease of use, robust security, and advanced analytics capabilities.
Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy.
The most valuable feature of Denodo is its uniformity of self-site data access types, which allows it to connect to almost any storage technology and feed it transparently.
Denodo supports SQL base, so if you want to join two tables or two views, you can use SQL, which is an advantage as most developers or business people know SQL.
Teradata's security helps our organization meet compliance requirements such as GDPR and IFRS, and it is particularly essential for revenue contracting or revenue recognition.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.

Featured Reviews

Atanu Chatterjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Data virtualization and integration enabled while caching and scalability room for improvement
In terms of improvements for Denodo, regarding performance, in cases where there are multiple virtualizations—such as reading from one Denodo view that is virtualized, and from that view there's also virtualization, and another team is reading from that view—if multiple virtualizations happen with no caching in between, it becomes slow. This occurs because it is cascading; whenever at the top level someone is reading data, that request is getting cascaded to the nth level, causing issues, especially in cases such as Power BI reports. We need to consider implementing some persistent layer in between. The scaling process should improve because many things are getting automated. The scale-out part needs to be automated, though I am uncertain whether Denodo has already implemented that feature.
Kirk Robinson - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved data quality, optimized reporting processes, and enabled predictive insights across business units
The limitation we encountered was related to speed, prompting us to increase our AWS cloud thresholds and benchmarks on the servers, adding more throughput. We have been testing that, but speed remains one of our key issues. The integration has been awesome because of the platforms and their usage, and usability is great. The most challenging aspect is finding Teradata resources, so we are focusing on internal training and looking for more Teradata experts. If Teradata could provide a list of certified experts, that would be fantastic. I rated Teradata a nine because the main area for improvement is the bandwidth of resources that could assist us in applying to our projects, specifically more certified and expert resources. The market share of Teradata professionals is limited, creating an issue for us.
