Vishal_Goyal - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Amit-Rastogi - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"One thing that we have noticed is that when you have a BI tool, you end up building a lot of the logic in the BI tool, but as a company, every company wants to be tool agnostic because today, you could be in the Qlik Sense, and tomorrow, you may decide to go with Tableau or something else that is there. If you have put a lot of logic within the tool, transitioning or moving away from one BI tool to another tool becomes a very intensive process. By keeping the logic in Denodo, you can move to any tool."
"The best thing about Denodo is that creating and deploying a web service can be done in about 10 minutes, compared to a whole day when it comes to other solutions (such as when deploying with Java and AWS)."
"The GUI interface allows easy connection of all data sources like API, JSON, or any JDBC source."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"Overall, I would rate Denodo a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions, and there are price issues, as it's considered expensive."
"I am still waiting for Denodo to support vector databases."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"GUI could be improved."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"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."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
