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.

Robust and does a good job of handling overload conditions
We purchase an add-on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update, and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package. I believe there are ways to build a model and set variables so that it can be a generic process. In my next system, I would like to have a generic process that would handle all the logging and processing in a model that can be modified and enhanced as the need for a better process, or different statistics to be logged is discovered. I'd want this in a way that the model can be changed and all the processes, with their unique parameters, could all be changed with the model upgraded. I believe they should add some features that help to create the code using a model. This would allow for continuous improvement of the model uses and easy replication of all the different programs that use the model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"We can consume data fast."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It provides useful APIs and integrates with other systems."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"The debugging capabilities are great, particularly during data flow execution. You can look into the data and see what's going on in the pipeline."
"The solution is stable."
"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."
"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."
"It's already very user-friendly and has a good dashboard."
"Overall, it's a good product."
"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."
"The data reader is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"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 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."
"While AI and ML integration is present, understanding its implementation better could be beneficial."
"The stability of the features can be improved."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"Sometimes we need to connect to AWS to get additional data sources, so we have to install some external LAN and not a regular RDBMS. We need external tools to connect. It would be great if SSIS included these tools. I'd also like some additional features for row indexing and data conversion."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."
"It should have other programming languages supported as well from a scripting perspective. Currently, only C# and VB.NET are supported, which limits it to .NET. It should have Java support as well."
"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."
"Integration and the user interface are areas with certain shortcomings that require some improvements."
"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."
"There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"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 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."
"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."
"If you don't want to pay a lot of money, you can go for SSIS, as its open-source version is available. When it comes to licensing, SSIS can be expensive."
