The data catalog feature helps define data structures without storing data
The data catalog feature is valuable as it helps define data structures without storing data. Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy. It supports API usage to call and present data in JSON or Tableau format without visualization capabilities.
Amit-Rastogi - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot."
"Denodo's capabilities offer a strong and intuitive solution for data access."
"The most valuable feature in Denodo is data virtualization."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"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."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"It is a stable solution."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
 

Cons

"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"Denodo currently integrates with ChatGPT, but the ability to manage and utilize them directly within Denodo would be a significant improvement."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"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."
"There have been some issues when you are at a table. Currently, Denodo exports data sets for a tabular model. When you are finished modeling your database or data warehouse they export a link to be used in Tableau. They should support other tools like Power BI."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"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."
"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."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
