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.
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

"Denodo is very stable."
"Denodo provides high reliability, with features like vertical scaling, horizontal scaling, and failover nodes."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"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 is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"It's really easy to install."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
 

Cons

"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 cache configuration is more complicated."
"While AI and ML integration is present, understanding its implementation better could be beneficial."
"Denodo currently integrates with ChatGPT, but the ability to manage and utilize them directly within Denodo would be a significant improvement."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"Denodo shows stability concerns due to its dependency on external environments, such as JVM."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions, and there are price issues, as it's considered expensive."
"GUI could be improved."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"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."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
