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

"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"Denodo is the backbone for the BU I'm working for."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"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."
"It provides useful APIs and integrates with other systems."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"It's really easy to install."
"It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a connectivity option with third-party apps, for example, JDBC, and ODBC drivers. Currently, we need to install it separately from the Denodo side and then connect it."
"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."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"It requires improving the story of how it can solve specific problems."
"Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions, and there are price issues, as it's considered expensive."
"The data catalog certainly has room for improvement. It is functional but we look forward to development. We are in constant contact with Denodo and they are fully aware of our needs."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"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."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
