Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAS, Quest Software and others in Data Preparation Tools."Monarch lets you quickly extract in your preferred format."
"Denodo is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"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."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"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."
"I rate Altair Monarch seven out of 10 for affordability. Recently, the pricing model changed from end-user licensing to a concurrent licensing model."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"Monitoring event logs can be improved. In the older version, there was a monitoring schedule to get event reports and properly audit the reports. In the newer version, it is not there, and we have to manually configure data and audit events."
"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."
