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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively."
"Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."
"We can consume data fast."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"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 performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
 

Cons

"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
"There are a couple of areas that can be improved in Denodo. From a stability point of view, sometimes we see issues in the data management functionality. This only happens now and then, however, and usually takes place when we add in our own customization."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved. Instead of applying security at every individual level, it would be better if it were at the group or tier level. It will save a lot of time."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"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."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
