Dataloader.io vs Denodo

• Extracting Salesforce attachments in original file format! I do not know of a tool that can do this better, or more efficiently! This is a huge benefit to companies that would like to extract attachments from Salesforce for tasks like data migrations.
• Cross-object data extract within one file. You can pull data from related objects as long as there is a populated lookup from the object you are extracting, to another object (Child or Parent).
• UI is simple and requires very little to no training. Given the acquisition of Mulesoft by Salesforce, I would not be surprised if DataLoader.IO is rolled out as the new global data loading tool for Salesforce.

• Flat learning curve.
• Does not need brilliant developers.
• Less need for custom denodo wrappers, even if needed is not very complex.
• Denodo stored procedures and functions helped address complex, not straightforward requirements.
• Export/import deployment between environments was very helpful.

• At the moment, I can't find a way to rename jobs. This would be useful to organize what was previously created hastily by techs in a rush.
• A preview of the job, especially upserts, would take a great deal of stress away from some of us (especially those who are not so confident in their ETL practice).
• A native vlookup equivalent may be a welcome addition.

• Lack of Documentation and user community: Denodo continues to have a small community of super users, therefore there is not a lot of documentation out there in the event you get stuck.
• Cost: Data virtualization isn't cheap, so smaller organizations might shy away from this technology due to the high licensing costs.
• Caching strategy: Some slower datasets will require caching... which argues, why not just do traditional ETL if you need to do this?

• HUGE time saving. When we need to clean or review data, we used to have to do it line by line. This can do the work within excel and make cleanup/management an afternoons work as opposed to a week.
• Rollback what you did/change/deleted is relatively simple if you remember to back up the data you are manipulating.

• Improved time-to-market. We addressed new requirements in less than 2 person days.
• Very agile. Easy to handle changing requirements. Like a new requirement, a change in requirement was not expensive either.
• Platform issues were difficult to diagnose and debug.
