Enable efficient AI and ML development through a unified virtual data environment
The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization. This feature focuses on creating a virtualized data environment that allows for simpler connections between data sources and systems. It significantly eases the process of developing AI and ML strategies by centralizing access to various data sources and allowing algorithms to efficiently connect to and utilize data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"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 features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"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."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"While we may not be using all the features of Denodo at this time, we have found the data virtualization features to be very useful in helping us connect our data sources together, bringing all our data into one platform."
"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"
 

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"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."
"Tasks such as conversion of a date format or conversion of a number format that can be done in a very easy way in different languages, like SQL or Oracle, are not so easy to do in Denodo. For example, if you want to convert a date from one format to another, in Oracle it's pretty easy; in Denodo, however, it requires so many lines of code. Simple things that can be done very quickly in other database languages require more lines of code in Denodo."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"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."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
