"Good product to use but needs improvement in some areas"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Denodo?

1) High range of sources and targets are supported.

2) It makes data analysis so simple as you could do a lot with only using SQL.

3) Good range of pre-defined functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Denodo?

1) GUIs for Monitor and scheduling applications need a revamp.

2) Formatting of VQLs in Virtual Data port needs to be looked upon. VQLs format in a single line in spite of user forming a beautifully format query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Denodo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Data Analysis:

I have been using Denodo to read data from a variety of sources like Enterprise Datawarehouse, Cloud services and third party APIs. Denodo eliminates the need for lengthy ETL processes and makes analysis very easy.

Easy solution build:

Even when a solution needs to be built using all these sources, we could leverage Denodo to be used as a source and process it in a different framework.

Time-saving:

By bringing all sources to one place, Denodo helps ion reducing development time by a huge percentage. ETL needs proper procedures to be setup and company regulations mean it would take months to move data. Using a data virtualization tool reduces that time to minuites.

"Develop a REST web service within less than 30 mins with Denodo"

5/5

What do you like best about Denodo?

Denodo is easy to use and allowed me to develop REST web service within less than 30 mins without much code and I often receive good feedbacks from customers so they are able to proceed with their testing and roll it out to Production within the same day or next couple of days! Isn't that Amazing? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Denodo?

Can't really think of any, we seldom run into issues with the REST web services we developed and deployed to Production with Denodo, it's mostly platform issues but it's rare nowadays as the Denodo platform in our company is getting more and stable as years go by.

"#1 Virtualization Platform"

5/5

What do you like best about Denodo?

It's so easy to create and combine new views in order to create a virtual repository. You can create APIs without a single line of code! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Denodo?

It doesn't have a queue for transactions in case you want to save them because the source is down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Denodo:

Denodo support most of the DBMS (Sql, Oracle, MySQL, Hive, Impala, Mongo, Azure, etc...) as data sources. They also update the connectors every 3-6 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Denodo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Combine multiple sources (files, apis, relational dbs, non-relational dbs).

The main benefit is the optimization techniques that denodo use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is very easy to use and support multi database infrastructure. My experience with training our business users and practically using this tool on my daily work life is very nice and we are very happy with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Denodo?

When handling huge data we have seen some performance issues but that is not a major constraint as we don’t process 5-10 years of historical load on daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Denodo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being an insurance company we have very decentralized data sources from different legacy applications. So this tool is very useful for us to connect all these legacy systems and creating a flat view which can feed information to actuary, pricing and underwriting teams. This tool is very helpful for our data discovery and mapping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
