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

"The most valuable feature is its capability for real-time data streaming."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"It provides useful APIs and integrates with other systems."
"On top of that, if you want to quickly show your data and use your data for analytical purposes, then this is the best tool."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"The most valuable features of Denodo are the extraction option for adapters, and there are many things for the views, that are cached. Denodo is not storing the data, it looks first to tune the query, and these things are for the agents."
"From my experience as a data engineering team lead, I can build a data warehouse in just a minute from different sources without needing time for data transfer or any additional work."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"Denodo simplifies your work and helps you ship code or ship solutions in a faster way."
 

Cons

"Amazon Data Firehose enhances our AI-driven analytics projects by providing a means to manage data streaming and delivery at any scale."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"Denodo shows stability concerns due to its dependency on external environments, such as JVM."
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved."
"The cache configuration is more complicated."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"Don't have too high expectations on data catalog functionality. It works, but, its current implementation is rather rudimental."
"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."
"I am still waiting for Denodo to support vector databases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"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."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
