For huge data requests, it cannot scale automatically; admin action is required.
Principal Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
While the solution scales well on a single machine, I have doubts about its scalability when deployed as part of a Java component cluster.
Datawarehouse & BI consultant, Owner, Mananging partner at NesCon B.V.
Its complexity in configuring and the requirement to install different connectors for different sources affects its scalability.
Technology Leader at eTCaaS
The security and everything was straightforward.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
Denodo is generally stable with occasional connectivity issues, high reliability, and minor resource adjustments for optimal performance.
Sentiment score
8.1
Perforce Delphix is highly stable, rarely has downtime, supports large data volumes, and suits mid to enterprise-level needs.
I would rate it nine out of ten because it is very reliable, always performing as expected.

Room For Improvement

Denodo's data catalog requires enhanced functionality, user-friendliness, connectivity, integration, scalability, and modern tools for better user experience.
Perforce Delphix needs faster data masking, better GUI, cross-platform migration, reporting, usability, AWS integration, pricing, and error handling improvements.
Ensuring data caching is up to date is critical.
Director Software Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions.
Datawarehouse & BI consultant, Owner, Mananging partner at NesCon B.V.
The system has dependencies on other environments, like JVM, which can affect its performance.
Technology Leader at eTCaaS
Focus mostly on Identity Access Management for Perforce, as the market is heading toward IAM, and it has become mandatory.
DevOps Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Denodo's CPU/cores-based pricing is costly for small businesses but fair for larger enterprises, including some extra fees.
Perforce Delphix pricing is seen as expensive but discounts and storage savings make it comparable to Broadcom Test Data Manager.
For small companies, it's not a solution that most small companies can afford.
Senior Backend Engineer at a pharma/biotech company with 51-200 employees
Denodo is considered pricey, limiting its use to large enterprises or government organizations that can afford its comprehensive setup.
Datawarehouse & BI consultant, Owner, Mananging partner at NesCon B.V.
Denodo's pricing is not affordable for small companies and is more suitable for medium to large enterprises.
Technology Leader at eTCaaS
I felt the pricing was a little higher at that time, which is what I heard from my boss.
DevOps Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Valuable Features

Denodo enhances data integration through virtualization, offering performance, usability, and seamless access to diverse data sources without replication.
Delphix excels in data management with efficient VDB provisioning, rapid creation, masking, and cloning, enhancing governance and compliance.
Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy.
Director Software Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
The most valuable feature of Denodo is its uniformity of self-site data access types, which allows it to connect to almost any storage technology and feed it transparently.
Datawarehouse & BI consultant, Owner, Mananging partner at NesCon B.V.
Denodo supports SQL base, so if you want to join two tables or two views, you can use SQL, which is an advantage as most developers or business people know SQL.
Principal Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
For the code side, it was very secure, and when it comes to user management, it was very user-friendly.
DevOps Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

Featured Reviews

Douglas Camargo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Backend Engineer at a pharma/biotech company with 51-200 employees
Has simplified multi-database querying and accelerated solution delivery with minimal setup
Denodo offers a great query language, the VQL, which was very easy to understand for someone that only knows SQL. It was easy to work with, and it was easy to integrate various types of databases in general. The usability of the platform is very great. The federated queries were also a feature that I used a lot. The easy usability of Denodo helped my work and made things easier for productivity. We were able to ship code faster than if we needed to use another type of data visualization tool or even an ETL. When we have multiple databases, the standard or common approach is just to have an ETL that matches the data, and we need to write this whole ETL. With Denodo, we can simplify this whole work to a few queries or setups in the databases and just make a few queries. This was actually easier, and it was faster to deliver a solution for a client instead of building a whole ETL pipeline or simply backfilling one database in another. Denodo simplifies your work and helps you ship code or ship solutions in a faster way. I really like the UI that Denodo has on the web app version. It was very simple and actually very beautiful to see. For a complicated program, it was very easy to understand how it works, even for someone who is just approaching the data engineering career or side of the programming language.

User access has been managed efficiently and coding tasks are streamlined through secure workflows
Perhaps you should focus mostly on Identity Access Management for Perforce, as the market is heading toward IAM, and it has become mandatory. Additionally, based on my experience, I would suggest trying to use a decentralized approach similar to Git, where when a user clones the repository, it becomes their own repository. This decentralized method is what Git is doing right now, and implementing it might help the company. If you take a decentralized approach to the repository, it would be easier for users. Additionally, implementing Identity Access Management aligned with current cybersecurity tools in the market might also help the company. Focusing in that direction would be beneficial.
