Snehasish Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Enable efficient AI and ML development through a unified virtual data environment
The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization. This feature focuses on creating a virtualized data environment that allows for simpler connections between data sources and systems. It significantly eases the process of developing AI and ML strategies by centralizing access to various data sources and allowing algorithms to efficiently connect to and utilize data.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Denodo's capabilities offer a strong and intuitive solution for data access."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the performance. Denodo is very useful, especially in this huge pharma environment. I've found that older SAP solutions were very tightly coupled to each other, which resulted in data restrictions. Getting data from different sources was tough and tedious. Compared to these old solutions, Denodo is very easy to work with for the analytical team. Now that we've implemented this virtualization layer, we are capable of getting the data very smoothly. We implemented a very small unit, but the performance and integration have been very good."
"The GUI interface allows easy connection of all data sources like API, JSON, or any JDBC source."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"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."
"It requires improving the story of how it can solve specific problems."
"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."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"Monitoring event logs can be improved. In the older version, there was a monitoring schedule to get event reports and properly audit the reports. In the newer version, it is not there, and we have to manually configure data and audit events."
"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."
"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."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"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."
"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."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"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."
