The GUI interface is nice and easy to use, but the organization of the icons is not saved across users
Connecting to a Hadoop database to create a cube to connect to Tableau. We want to be able to easily create cubes which can be connected to Tableau for visualization The product had many issues. We had great collaboration with the product development team, but the product was not able to meet our…

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

"The GUI interface is nice and easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization."
"The most valuable features of Denodo are the extraction option for adapters, and there are many things for the views, that are cached. Denodo is not storing the data, it looks first to tune the query, and these things are for the agents."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"Data mining is one of the valuable features. We're able to connect all of the data sources with the installed driver, so that is a good advantage in Denodo. Being able to join the tables and view them is also valuable."
"The logical data warehouse functionality is fantastic. It truly stands out. The ClearOptimizer and Virtual Cache are great features. They work together seamlessly to optimize performance."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"There was an issue with the incremental aggregation not working as indicated."
"The organization of the icons is not saved across users."
"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"Performance management could be improved."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"I am still waiting for Denodo to support vector databases."
"Tasks such as conversion of a date format or conversion of a number format that can be done in a very easy way in different languages, like SQL or Oracle, are not so easy to do in Denodo. For example, if you want to convert a date from one format to another, in Oracle it's pretty easy; in Denodo, however, it requires so many lines of code. Simple things that can be done very quickly in other database languages require more lines of code in Denodo."
"Denodo can improve usage management-related aspects. If you deal with the mini views, it gets stuck. The performance is very slow when we go with a large number of views and high volume."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."

"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
