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.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a 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

"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"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."
"Denodo's capabilities offer a strong and intuitive solution for data access."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Denodo provides high reliability, with features like vertical scaling, horizontal scaling, and failover nodes."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"The data catalog feature is valuable as it helps define data structures without storing data."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The data lineage is great."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
 

Cons

"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"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."
"The solution should have its own acceleration technology."
"Denodo shows stability concerns due to its dependency on external environments, such as JVM."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"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."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
