Provides several server connectivity options and optimization engine that enhances performance

The idea behind data virtualization is to create an abstract layer for easy consumption by BI tools such as MicroStrategy, Tableau, Power BI, and others. This abstraction layer aims to avoid the complexity of directly accessing data sources, thus simplifying data integration. Denodo facilitates this by mediating between different data platforms like Teradata, cloud data warehouses, Oracle databases, and others, unifying them under a common virtual layer. This enables seamless access to unified data across diverse platforms and technologies. Furthermore, Denodo includes an optimization engine that enhances performance through techniques such as static and dynamic optimization, cost-based optimization, and caching mechanisms. These optimizations help improve query performance, reduce memory usage, and enhance overall system efficiency. This optimization capability is a key feature of Denodo and other data virtualization tools, enabling efficient data access and integration across heterogeneous environments.

Good designer and helpful support, but can be buggy

The solution can be buggy. If I compare it with IBM, before webMethods, we were using IBM DataPower. To be frank, DataPower had very, very minimal bugs. You may have one or two bugs in maybe a year, whereas with Integration Server, with customizations, it comes with all these caveats. We had to go back to support a bit for help. Support is expensive. There is not any capability as a managed service. Maybe a managed service would help people to use it. Or apart from that, I would also say there is a containerized microservices version, yet it is not in a usable format. If you look at a Kubernetes environment, if you want to have a containerized application running in Integration Server, it's still quite very heavy. Maybe webMethods should look at that perspective as well to run a pure proper cloud-native environment. If you look at Spring Boot or maybe a similar open-source application, you can easily containerize and run Kubernetes. In Integration Server, it's not very easy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data mining is one of the valuable features. We're able to connect all of the data sources with the installed driver, so that is a good advantage in Denodo. Being able to join the tables and view them is also valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the performance. Denodo is very useful, especially in this huge pharma environment. I've found that older SAP solutions were very tightly coupled to each other, which resulted in data restrictions. Getting data from different sources was tough and tedious. Compared to these old solutions, Denodo is very easy to work with for the analytical team. Now that we've implemented this virtualization layer, we are capable of getting the data very smoothly. We implemented a very small unit, but the performance and integration have been very good."

"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."

"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."

"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 most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."

"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."

"The most valuable features of Denodo are the extraction option for adapters, and there are many things for the views, that are cached. Denodo is not storing the data, it looks first to tune the query, and these things are for the agents."

More Denodo pros

"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."

"How simple it is to create new solutions."

"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."

"It's a visual tool, so our transformations can be quickly implemented without a lot of fuss. The fact that we have an easy way to expose REST services is also very interesting. It offers the possibility to connect over GMS to synchronize message brokers."

"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."

"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."

"A product with good API and EDI components."

"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."

"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."

"Performance management could be improved."

"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."

"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."

"It would be beneficial to make sure that the team that will be using Denodo has some kind of training on how to use the product at least a month beforehand, and there could even be some kind of feedback or Q&A sessions to go along with the training. If Denodo were able to provide this kind of training, it would be very helpful to users in insurance and banking companies because the staff are typically older and not always technically-minded."

"I would like to see a connectivity option with third-party apps, for example, JDBC, and ODBC drivers. Currently, we need to install it separately from the Denodo side and then connect it."

"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."

More Denodo cons

"It is difficult to maintain."

"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."

"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."

"The on-premises setup can be difficult."

"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."

"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."

"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."

"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."

More webMethods.io cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."

"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."

More Denodo pricing and cost advice

"I would like to see better pricing for the license."

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."

"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."

"Its cost depends on the use cases."

"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."
