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.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"It's really easy to install."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"Denodo is very stable."
"Overall, I would rate Denodo a nine out of ten."
"It provides useful APIs and integrates with other systems."
"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 most valuable feature of Denodo is its uniformity of self-site data access types, which allows it to connect to almost any storage technology and feed it transparently."
 

Cons

"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"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."
"Denodo shows stability concerns due to its dependency on external environments, such as JVM."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"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."
"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 requires improving the story of how it can solve specific problems."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"Cost wise, on a scale from one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, Denodo would be at three. We get all the features in a bundle."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
