Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot.""It can support a number of data sources, and it can pull flat files, from cloud-based databases or from those on-premises. Denodo can pull from any data source and interface with the view. Then, we can publish the view.""It is a very stable solution.""Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features.""The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs.""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.""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.""One thing that we have noticed is that when you have a BI tool, you end up building a lot of the logic in the BI tool, but as a company, every company wants to be tool agnostic because today, you could be in the Qlik Sense, and tomorrow, you may decide to go with Tableau or something else that is there. If you have put a lot of logic within the tool, transitioning or moving away from one BI tool to another tool becomes a very intensive process. By keeping the logic in Denodo, you can move to any tool."

"The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application.""App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container.""The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification.""It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process.""It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration.""Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly.""It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies.""It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."

Cons
"Denodo currently integrates with ChatGPT, but the ability to manage and utilize them directly within Denodo would be a significant improvement.""We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through.""Denodo's training documentation could be improved by providing more material. From an administrative standpoint, I've found that only Denodo websites provide the usual tutorials. It may be because it's a bit of a restricted tool, but it results in trouble with learning. Normally, I can find help and solutions from other sources, but I haven't been able to find any for Denodo. Other that, it's fine and it performs well. I only have six months of experience, so I can't accurately suggest improvements.""The data catalog certainly has room for improvement. It is functional but we look forward to development. We are in constant contact with Denodo and they are fully aware of our needs.""Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly.""Performance management could be improved.""I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems.""Denodo can improve usage management-related aspects. If you deal with the mini views, it gets stuck. The performance is very slow when we go with a large number of views and high volume."

More Denodo Cons →

"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors.""More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors.""The setup time for App Connect could be improved.""When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated.""It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it.""The product should improve its support.""The interface could be better.""Updates are constantly delayed."

  • "The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."

  • "It is very expensive if we want to scale."
  • "The price could be better."
  • "The licensing cost for IBM App Connect is very high."
  • "The cost depends upon the consumer."
