Good GUI, easy to learn, and simple to install
The architecture is complex. I do understand that. However, the GUI is very user-friendly. Sometimes all these things are a little difficult to understand for a person who is not experienced in Couchbase. There is a constant requirement to upgrade the versions. We need to constantly keep on upgrading the latest version for the newest one. Currently, we are dealing with an issue where some of the servers are on the 6.5 version, and a few have moved to 7.5. So we are in a mixed mode right now. We are having a high IO issue on our servers, which we are already dealing with. We have these cases with Couchbase, with Red Hat, et cetera. We feel like this constant need to upgrade is something that is very mundane yet a very difficult task. If you have three clusters, which have around thirty nodes, the data is quite sensitive. Whenever there is Couchbase upgrade that is going on, we see that our SR is dropped. The purchase rate and success rate drop. This affects our business and the clients. Rebalancing could be improved. I find it to be a very slow process when it comes to rebalancing the clusters. If you talk about other architectures like Oracle, they are pretty fast. Couchbase is a little slower. Rebalancing, taking the node out, doing the upgrade, putting it back, rebalancing it, is a very difficult and cumbersome. For Oracle, we have been running on version 19.5 for the past five years. There were absolutely no issues. Yet for Couchbase, every six months, we have to go do the upgrade.

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 way the nodes are managed is interesting."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"From my experience as a data engineering team lead, I can build a data warehouse in just a minute from different sources without needing time for data transfer or any additional work."
"Denodo is very easy to learn and user-friendly."
"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."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization."
"The data catalog feature is valuable as it helps define data structures without storing data."
 

Cons

"Rebalancing could be improved."
"The product could be improved by including a log section for tracking activities, enhancing database integration, and providing more transparency regarding pricing and monitoring activities."
"Don't have too high expectations on data catalog functionality. It works, but, its current implementation is rather rudimental."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"I am still waiting for Denodo to support vector databases."
"I would like to see a connectivity option with third-party apps, for example, JDBC, and ODBC drivers."
"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."
"Another area we have been struggling with is the integration of Denodo with both Salesforce and MuleSoft, which we use to track the customers in our sales system, such as when sending insurance quotes."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
 

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."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"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."
"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."
