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."
"While we may not be using all the features of Denodo at this time, we have found the data virtualization features to be very useful in helping us connect our data sources together, bringing all our data into one platform."
"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Denodo's capabilities offer a strong and intuitive solution for data access."
"Denodo is very stable."
 

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."
"It requires improving the story of how it can solve specific problems."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"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 shows stability concerns due to its dependency on external environments, such as JVM."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"I am not super familiar with the pricing, but so far, it seems good. We have been happy. We haven't seen any problems. The only time we had to pay extra was during the upgrade. We didn't upgrade at the time they told us to upgrade, and we had to pay extra to keep the service. They had stopped the support for the older version and moved to the newer version. It was not their fault. It was our fault because we didn't get on board quickly."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
