Quick and simple web services creation, but needs better customizability and a fallback option

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. There are also certain limitations on customizing Denodo, in general. It would be better if Denodo provided more mechanisms for users to develop custom products where they could easily build in their own logic with automated means. In the case of complex customization, we will usually use Spring Boot instead of Denodo, especially when we have tons of data in production and we need to segregate it based on certain logic. Otherwise, when it's a matter of minimal data points that are required, we will simply build it as a web service instead of writing the same logic in Spring Boot. A feature that we have wanted since we started with Denodo is to have a fallback option. After we migrated all our web services to Denodo, it would have been nice to have a ad-hoc fallback option where if we ever do want to use something else, that option is available. For example, something where we have those built-in read-only views which we can reuse and, without too much time or fuss, build a web service on top of that by simply plugging in views, details, or any other part of the Denodo platform architecture.

Provides application integration and reduces time and effort during upgrades

One of the most valuable aspects was its impact on reducing time and effort during upgrades. Previously, SAP upgrades required significant coordination with multiple teams. Now, thanks to our streamlined integration approach, the SAP team interacts primarily with the integration team. When changes are needed, we simply create a new version. This allows application teams to migrate gradually from the old version to the new one, without extensive involvement from the SAP team. Moreover, our approach has improved reliability by eliminating duplicated efforts. Previously, different teams would often duplicate data sets due to inefficiencies in data naming conventions. We centralized data integration, ensuring that all applications use the same data set.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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)."

"In PL/SQL, first you need to gather all the data and then start writing the file, but in Denodo you fetch the data and write the data simultaneously. So, for example, if you have 1 million or 2 million records, you don't have to wait to fetch all of the 2 million; you can keep on fetching and writing in the file simultaneously."

"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 most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."

"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Denodo pros

"Good interface, simple to use and stable."

"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."

"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."

"The tool helps with order management and automates the enterprise's orchestration, invoice creation, product maintenance, and product life cycle. The API manager feature helps us configure, secure, and call APIs."

"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."

"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."

"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

Cons

"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."

"Data transformation must be improved."

"The support is not the best and should be improved."

"I would like it if we could pull the data model or export the data model because Denodo has, based on how you build, something called associations. The data model gets very confusing when you go look at it. It depends on how you define it, but it's really huge. I wish there was a way to export it into Visio. It could be that they already have a way to do it, and I don't know, but it would be much easier for the architects and even for the developers to look at it than scrunching it into the screen and expanding every small portion of it. If there was an easy way to export the Denodo model into another modeling tool and view it, it would be great."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."

More Denodo cons

"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."

"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."

"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."

"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."

"The tool requires programming language."

"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."

"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."

"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."

"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."

"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."

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

"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 should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."

"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."

"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."

More Denodo pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."

"I can't give you a straightforward answer because sometimes it depends on the usage. If you're going to have fewer than 5 million messages, it is free of cost. If you're going to have more than 5 million messages, they're going to charge $100 per month"

"The solution has a high price."

"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."

"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."

"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."

"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
