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

"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."
"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."
"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"Denodo is the backbone for the BU I'm working for."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the short time frame in which you can deliver and connect."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"Technical support is fantastic as far as availability and advice."
"Denodo is an easy tool that can be used for data mining, allowing you to connect to all of the data sources and easily see the views."
"Getting queries is great. They are really good. You can basically write SQL statements, and it can convert to MDX queries or to MongoDB queries, or any kind of data source."
 

Cons

"The areas which I think need to be improved are the transform and load steps."
"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."
"At the moment, we can't even use it for 1, since it keeps failing in our QA testing."
"They need to invest more in the optimization engine. It will be a fantastic tool for them to enhance automation and improve the GUI interface, especially for Integration, as some tools are still not fully integrated, such as Iceberg."
"One thing that I felt is that there is a learning curve for Denodo. It's not something that people just start using."
"It requires improving the story of how it can solve specific problems."
"Denodo shows stability concerns due to its dependency on external environments, such as JVM."
"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."
"I'd like to see integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"I don't like the support. They always blame the customer."
"Don't have too high expectations on data catalog functionality. It works, but, its current implementation is rather rudimental."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."
"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."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"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."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
