Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"One thing that we have noticed is that when you have a BI tool, you end up building a lot of the logic in the BI tool, but as a company, every company wants to be tool agnostic because today, you could be in the Qlik Sense, and tomorrow, you may decide to go with Tableau or something else that is there. If you have put a lot of logic within the tool, transitioning or moving away from one BI tool to another tool becomes a very intensive process. By keeping the logic in Denodo, you can move to any tool."
"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)."
"Data mining is one of the valuable features. We're able to connect all of the data sources with the installed driver, so that is a good advantage in Denodo. Being able to join the tables and view them is also valuable."
"The installation process is easy."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"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."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"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."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
