The data catalog feature helps define data structures without storing data
The data catalog feature is valuable as it helps define data structures without storing data. Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy. It supports API usage to call and present data in JSON or Tableau format without visualization capabilities.
Emmanuel Catalano - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers reliable data management and simple to use but requires more intuitive configuration
I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests. A lot of the time, the support asks the same questions repeatedly, which takes time. Usually, I solve my issue myself before they give me solutions. It seems like they do not really understand my problem, even if I translate what I want to say from Italian with tools like Google Translate. Sometimes it is very difficult to communicate with them. We have some Oracle support staff in Italy whom I can reach directly, which helps, but there seems to be a problem with the support requests. It is also an issue when different Oracle representatives handle my request at different times and ask me to explain the problem again despite it being written in the support request. This makes it very frustrating. Additionally, issues arise with product understanding. For example, in dedicated infrastructure, the Oracle staff handling the support request may not be familiar with the product or suggest solutions suitable for other infrastructures but not mine. Oracle Support should know the solutions that fit my infrastructure since they manage it, not me.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"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."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The best thing about Denodo is that creating and deploying a web service can be done in about 10 minutes, compared to a whole day when it comes to other solutions (such as when deploying with Java and AWS)."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"In PL/SQL, first you need to gather all the data and then start writing the file, but in Denodo you fetch the data and write the data simultaneously. So, for example, if you have 1 million or 2 million records, you don't have to wait to fetch all of the 2 million; you can keep on fetching and writing in the file simultaneously."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
 

Cons

"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"Performance management could be improved."
"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."
"I would like it if we could pull the data model or export the data model because Denodo has, based on how you build, something called associations. The data model gets very confusing when you go look at it. It depends on how you define it, but it's really huge. I wish there was a way to export it into Visio. It could be that they already have a way to do it, and I don't know, but it would be much easier for the architects and even for the developers to look at it than scrunching it into the screen and expanding every small portion of it. If there was an easy way to export the Denodo model into another modeling tool and view it, it would be great."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"Tasks such as conversion of a date format or conversion of a number format that can be done in a very easy way in different languages, like SQL or Oracle, are not so easy to do in Denodo. For example, if you want to convert a date from one format to another, in Oracle it's pretty easy; in Denodo, however, it requires so many lines of code. Simple things that can be done very quickly in other database languages require more lines of code in Denodo."
"The stability of the features can be improved."
"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"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."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
