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.

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

"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"Denodo is very easy to learn and user-friendly."
"The data catalog feature is valuable as it helps define data structures without storing data."
"Denodo's capabilities offer a strong and intuitive solution for data access."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"Denodo has a great community and they provide access to a lot of internet information, forums and meetings of various kinds."
"By keeping the logic in Denodo, you can move to any tool."
"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

"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."
"Denodo's training documentation could be improved by providing more material."
"Denodo can be improved as it can be a little buggy, especially when dealing with huge data and is not great if you have very large volumes of data because it can be buggy."
"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."
"In my opinion, it's very expensive. For small companies, it's not a solution that most small companies can afford."
"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."
"Performance management could be improved."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"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 pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
