MR
Cloud Security Support at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
AI-driven queries have transformed how I discover hidden cloud assets and misconfigurations
One of the improvements that could be made to CloudQuery is the GUI. In the past, I had issues where I couldn't see all the information that would pop up at the bottom. That might be fixed by now, but I was experiencing issues with the GUI itself. CloudQuery's AI capabilities lack governance and security features. While the AI is great for helping me craft SQLs to find assets in the environment, it does not have real security features for blocking or similar tasks. I can set up SQLs for alerting, but I find that a bit limiting. For what it is, CloudQuery is great. The only improvement I could suggest would be to set up more alerting features, but overall it is great for what it is, and I would say it feels a little bit limiting.
Douglas Camargo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Backend Engineer at a pharma/biotech company with 51-200 employees
Has simplified multi-database querying and accelerated solution delivery with minimal setup
Denodo offers a great query language, the VQL, which was very easy to understand for someone that only knows SQL. It was easy to work with, and it was easy to integrate various types of databases in general. The usability of the platform is very great. The federated queries were also a feature that I used a lot. The easy usability of Denodo helped my work and made things easier for productivity. We were able to ship code faster than if we needed to use another type of data visualization tool or even an ETL. When we have multiple databases, the standard or common approach is just to have an ETL that matches the data, and we need to write this whole ETL. With Denodo, we can simplify this whole work to a few queries or setups in the databases and just make a few queries. This was actually easier, and it was faster to deliver a solution for a client instead of building a whole ETL pipeline or simply backfilling one database in another. Denodo simplifies your work and helps you ship code or ship solutions in a faster way. I really like the UI that Denodo has on the web app version. It was very simple and actually very beautiful to see. For a complicated program, it was very easy to understand how it works, even for someone who is just approaching the data engineering career or side of the programming language.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CloudQuery has positively impacted my organization because instead of navigating through multiple cloud consoles, I can run an SQL query and get, for example, all my S3 buckets that are public, private, or that I need to do something with."
"The AI-generated SQL works well for my team as it gets things right most of the time."
"Getting queries is great. They are really good. You can basically write SQL statements, and it can convert to MDX queries or to MongoDB queries, or any kind of data source."
"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."
"On top of that, if you want to quickly show your data and use your data for analytical purposes, then this is the best tool."
"Denodo simplifies your work and helps you ship code or ship solutions in a faster way."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"In terms of data virtualization, I think it's very well-rounded."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Denodo is its uniformity of self-site data access types, which allows it to connect to almost any storage technology and feed it transparently."
 

Cons

"CloudQuery really acts as an asset inventory tool, which is great, but I find that somewhat limiting."
"Denodo can be improved in some areas. We faced some issues with respect to Java client dependencies and had significant hassle with version management."
"With this product, the scalability of Denodo isn't fully up to the mark."
"We've been disappointed with the level of technical support, particularly on the outset."
"Simple things that can be done very quickly in other database languages require more lines of code in Denodo."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
"I'd like to see integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"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."
"One thing that I felt is that there is a learning curve for Denodo. It's not something that people just start using."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"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."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
