It is stable and we did not have any issues with initial setup. I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version to support the wide range of sources available.
I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME) I have been using it for 6-7 months. There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability…

Data virtualization has unified siloed sources and now supports real-time decisions
The best features Denodo offers stand out to me as the ability to develop REST web services fast and easily, create and combine new views, integrate different sources of data, and connect with other tools seamlessly. When I mention fast and easy creation of views and integration, I love the agile data provisioning and integration, where Denodo provides a comprehensive set of capabilities for implementing logical data integration, management, and delivery, which in turn enables agile data analytics and an informed decision-making process to be smooth. I also appreciate the performance optimization with AI, which improves performance optimization through the integration of artificial intelligence capabilities. Furthermore, I appreciate the unified security and governance, where it addresses the need for an organization to effectively manage security, data privacy, and data protection easily, offering a centralized platform that allows the application of governance policies and fine-grained security controls. Another feature I would add about Denodo is that it also provides a single point of control where we can establish security controls over the entire infrastructure and gain visibility into all our data assets. Denodo has positively impacted my organization as since we started using this tool, it has been very helpful because it is a huge advantage that we can connect to many different databases to provide data rapidly and accurately and also gain insights, which helps us to make data-driven decisions easily. It has proven to be a valuable environment for deploying data virtualization solutions, and its user community is active in finding and fixing issues more accurately. Through data insights from Denodo, we have been able to improve our decision making, which helps to better communication between the stakeholders thanks to the real-time experience. It also saves a lot of time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have been using it for ETL, it is very robust and easy to use."
"For data transfers and ETLs on Windows, this is a great product."
"Web based interface."
"This product is extremely useful and better than building an in-house solution."
"There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"Denodo provides high reliability, with features like vertical scaling, horizontal scaling, and failover nodes."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"The performance of our application has increased significantly."
"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."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable; it is one of the best when considering other ETL tools and is easy to maintain."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."
"Technical support is an area which can definitely improve."
"The areas which I think need to be improved are the transform and load steps."
"At the moment, we can't even use it for 1, since it keeps failing in our QA testing."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"Denodo can be improved as it can be a little buggy, especially when dealing with huge data and is not great if you have very large volumes of data because it can be buggy."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"The support is not the best and should 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."
"Data transformation must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"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."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
