Featured Reviews

Atanu Chatterjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Data virtualization and integration enabled while caching and scalability room for improvement
In terms of improvements for Denodo, regarding performance, in cases where there are multiple virtualizations—such as reading from one Denodo view that is virtualized, and from that view there's also virtualization, and another team is reading from that view—if multiple virtualizations happen with no caching in between, it becomes slow. This occurs because it is cascading; whenever at the top level someone is reading data, that request is getting cascaded to the nth level, causing issues, especially in cases such as Power BI reports. We need to consider implementing some persistent layer in between. The scaling process should improve because many things are getting automated. The scale-out part needs to be automated, though I am uncertain whether Denodo has already implemented that feature.
Amit-Rastogi - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

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 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."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"Denodo's capabilities offer a strong and intuitive solution for data access."
"Denodo is very stable."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"It's really easy to install."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
 

Cons

"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"Data transformation must be improved."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved. Instead of applying security at every individual level, it would be better if it were at the group or tier level. It will save a lot of time."
"They need to invest more in the optimization engine. It will be a fantastic tool for them to enhance automation and improve the GUI interface, especially for Integration, as some tools are still not fully integrated, such as Iceberg."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"GUI could be improved."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"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."
"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."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"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."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
