Accurate data and reliable
CData Connect is used to extract data from our own Facebook ads campaigns The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data. The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved. I have been using CData Connect for approximately three months.…

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 of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."
"The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"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."
"It provides useful APIs and integrates with other systems."
"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."
"The performance of our application has increased significantly."
"It was very powerful because we could deliver this data in a short time and with some data governance, because you deliver it through a data catalog and you have the data lineage, and you can put there the role level security, column level security, and it was very helpful for us, and the end-user was very happy to have it."
 

Cons

"There is a limitation in the amount of data that can be imported. This should be increased."
"The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved."
"The stability of the features can be improved."
"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."
"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"Performance management could be improved."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."
"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."
"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."
"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."
