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

"If you have the business needs for data visualization which is a core technology that Denodo represents, then, I would say to go for it as the platform really works well."
"The data catalog feature is valuable as it helps define data structures without storing data."
"This solution is a really good way to get all your sources organized when there are data problems and things are scattered everywhere."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"The technical team of Denodo is really good; they are very helpful, cooperative, and supportive, and they immediately helped me with whatever issue I was facing."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"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."
"Customer Service: We have a support contract with Jumpmind. The support resources are readily available and provide expert support to any questions."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"It is fully featured, has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, is very easy to use and install, is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good."
 

Cons

"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"While AI and ML integration is present, understanding its implementation better could be beneficial."
"I would like to see a connectivity option with third-party apps, for example, JDBC, and ODBC drivers."
"There have been some issues when you are at a table. Currently, Denodo exports data sets for a tabular model. When you are finished modeling your database or data warehouse they export a link to be used in Tableau. They should support other tools like Power BI."
"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."
"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."
"One thing that I felt is that there is a learning curve for Denodo. It's not something that people just start using."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"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."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"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."
