AS
IT Consultant at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Automation and lineage visibility have transformed how our teams schedule and monitor ETL workflows
There are multiple products from Dagster Labs: Dagster Cloud, Dagster Labs, and sometimes it is quite confusing to choose which one for what purposes. I know there are some licensing buckets for small organizations, medium organizations, and bigger organizations, so the modeling and the cost estimation part could be more intuitive, making it easier for beginners to understand how much time and money they would save by onboarding Dagster Labs in their project. I deducted two points because I faced some challenges working with the Git repository integration with Dagster Labs due to some security keys or some weird issue. I had to get in a call with Dagster Labs subject matter expert, and we really struggled for two to three weeks because we could not establish the secure connection through that.

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

"Dagster Labs has provided a good sense of the data pipeline I have been using, and I have started to trust it even more because I have full confidence in whether it has been updated correctly and if it has failed."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted our organization by making it much easier to create data pipelines, helping us create new use cases, and allowing us to transform all of the data we have into features, which Dagster Labs has greatly assisted with."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted my organization because whenever there is a change in the data, it becomes easy for me to schedule the job, run the changes, and make changes to be imported to the slowly changing dimension tables."
"Dagster Labs has impacted my organization positively by enabling faster project delivery since it has reduced a lot of manual efforts, especially the manual scheduling part."
"As a product, it is one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with."
"Since automating with Dagster Labs, I save around 90% of manual effort."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It provides useful APIs and integrates with other systems."
"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."
"Denodo is very stable."
"The GUI interface allows easy connection of all data sources like API, JSON, or any JDBC source."
"Denodo is an easy tool that can be used for data mining, allowing you to connect to all of the data sources and easily see the views."
"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."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
 

Cons

"One major issue I see with Dagster Labs is with retrying the pipeline; of course, there is a retry of the pipeline available in case it fails, but it starts from the beginning at the first step."
"There are many ways Dagster Labs can be improved. I believe the UI is very slow and it prevents loading state."
"I deducted two points because I faced some challenges working with the Git repository integration with Dagster Labs due to some security keys or some weird issue."
"Dagster Labs is currently providing a Dagster University course, but those offerings are somewhat high-level."
"Additionally, the billing for Dagster Labs Cloud Plus is somewhat restrictive regarding the number of seats, which often pushes users towards the enterprise plan."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
"It requires improving the story of how it can solve specific problems."
"I would like to see a connectivity option with third-party apps, for example, JDBC, and ODBC drivers. Currently, we need to install it separately from the Denodo side and then connect it."
"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."
"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."
"I don't like the support. They always blame the customer."
"Denodo currently integrates with ChatGPT, but the ability to manage and utilize them directly within Denodo would be a significant improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"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."
"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."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"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."
