Accurate data and reliable
CData Connect is used to extract data from our own Facebook ads campaigns The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data. The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved. I have been using CData Connect for approximately three months.…

Data virtualization has unified siloed sources and now supports real-time decisions
The best features Denodo offers stand out to me as the ability to develop REST web services fast and easily, create and combine new views, integrate different sources of data, and connect with other tools seamlessly. When I mention fast and easy creation of views and integration, I love the agile data provisioning and integration, where Denodo provides a comprehensive set of capabilities for implementing logical data integration, management, and delivery, which in turn enables agile data analytics and an informed decision-making process to be smooth. I also appreciate the performance optimization with AI, which improves performance optimization through the integration of artificial intelligence capabilities. Furthermore, I appreciate the unified security and governance, where it addresses the need for an organization to effectively manage security, data privacy, and data protection easily, offering a centralized platform that allows the application of governance policies and fine-grained security controls. Another feature I would add about Denodo is that it also provides a single point of control where we can establish security controls over the entire infrastructure and gain visibility into all our data assets. Denodo has positively impacted my organization as since we started using this tool, it has been very helpful because it is a huge advantage that we can connect to many different databases to provide data rapidly and accurately and also gain insights, which helps us to make data-driven decisions easily. It has proven to be a valuable environment for deploying data virtualization solutions, and its user community is active in finding and fixing issues more accurately. Through data insights from Denodo, we have been able to improve our decision making, which helps to better communication between the stakeholders thanks to the real-time experience. It also saves a lot of time.

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 feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."
"The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."
"Denodo creates a virtualized environment that provides one unified destination for all data sources so that AI and ML algorithms can connect to that virtualized destination without needing to establish connections with multiple data sources."
"Denodo's best features are that it is very user-friendly and easy to use, it is flexible, and the data catalog is very useful."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"The performance of our application has increased significantly."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"Denodo simplifies your work and helps you ship code or ship solutions in a faster way."
 

Cons

"There is a limitation in the amount of data that can be imported. This should be increased."
"The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved."
"Denodo can be improved as it can be a little buggy, especially when dealing with huge data and is not great if you have very large volumes of data because it can be buggy."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"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."
"Denodo's training documentation could be improved by providing more material. From an administrative standpoint, I've found that only Denodo websites provide the usual tutorials. It may be because it's a bit of a restricted tool, but it results in trouble with learning. Normally, I can find help and solutions from other sources, but I haven't been able to find any for Denodo. Other that, it's fine and it performs well. I only have six months of experience, so I can't accurately suggest improvements."
"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."
"I think Denodo needs a bit of work with performance management. When data sets are huge and a heavy query has been pushed out to the database, it can take quite some time to get what you need without clear optimization techniques."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"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."
"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."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
