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

"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"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 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 product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"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)."
 

Cons

"Delphix is quite expensive."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"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."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"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."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved. Instead of applying security at every individual level, it would be better if it were at the group or tier level. It will save a lot of time."
"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."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"There have been some issues when you are at a table. Currently, Denodo exports data sets for a tabular model. When you are finished modeling your database or data warehouse they export a link to be used in Tableau. They should support other tools like Power BI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"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."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"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."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
