Data virtualization has unified siloed sources and now supports real-time decisions
The best features Denodo offers stand out to me as the ability to develop REST web services fast and easily, create and combine new views, integrate different sources of data, and connect with other tools seamlessly. When I mention fast and easy creation of views and integration, I love the agile data provisioning and integration, where Denodo provides a comprehensive set of capabilities for implementing logical data integration, management, and delivery, which in turn enables agile data analytics and an informed decision-making process to be smooth. I also appreciate the performance optimization with AI, which improves performance optimization through the integration of artificial intelligence capabilities. Furthermore, I appreciate the unified security and governance, where it addresses the need for an organization to effectively manage security, data privacy, and data protection easily, offering a centralized platform that allows the application of governance policies and fine-grained security controls. Another feature I would add about Denodo is that it also provides a single point of control where we can establish security controls over the entire infrastructure and gain visibility into all our data assets. Denodo has positively impacted my organization as since we started using this tool, it has been very helpful because it is a huge advantage that we can connect to many different databases to provide data rapidly and accurately and also gain insights, which helps us to make data-driven decisions easily. It has proven to be a valuable environment for deploying data virtualization solutions, and its user community is active in finding and fixing issues more accurately. Through data insights from Denodo, we have been able to improve our decision making, which helps to better communication between the stakeholders thanks to the real-time experience. It also saves a lot of time.

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 GUI interface is nice and easy to use."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"The data catalog feature is valuable as it helps define data structures without storing data."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"Denodo provides several server connectivity options with other tools such as ODPC and UDPC. It supports API integrations, allowing integration with a wide range of databases using different technologies, including NoSQL and relational databases."
"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."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is a very stable solution."
 

Cons

"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"The organization of the icons is not saved across users."
"There was an issue with the incremental aggregation not working as indicated."
"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"To make it easier to use or a better tool, the architecture and internal design of the folders for organizing the structure of the different data could be more structured."
"The data catalog certainly has room for improvement. It is functional but we look forward to development. We are in constant contact with Denodo and they are fully aware of our needs."
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"One thing that I felt is that there is a learning curve for Denodo. It's not something that people just start using."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"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."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
