Featured Reviews

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.
Amit-Rastogi - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or 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

"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."
"Denodo's capabilities offer a strong and intuitive solution for data access."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"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)."
"The GUI interface allows easy connection of all data sources like API, JSON, or any JDBC source."
"The logical data warehouse functionality is fantastic. It truly stands out. The ClearOptimizer and Virtual Cache are great features. They work together seamlessly to optimize performance."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"Denodo provides high reliability, with features like vertical scaling, horizontal scaling, and failover nodes."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"It is a stable solution."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"It's really easy to install."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
 

Cons

"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to make sure that the team that will be using Denodo has some kind of training on how to use the product at least a month beforehand, and there could even be some kind of feedback or Q&A sessions to go along with the training. If Denodo were able to provide this kind of training, it would be very helpful to users in insurance and banking companies because the staff are typically older and not always technically-minded."
"Denodo shows stability concerns due to its dependency on external environments, such as JVM."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"There are a couple of areas that can be improved in Denodo. From a stability point of view, sometimes we see issues in the data management functionality. This only happens now and then, however, and usually takes place when we add in our own customization."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"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."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
