"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"While we may not be using all the features of Denodo at this time, we have found the data virtualization features to be very useful in helping us connect our data sources together, bringing all our data into one platform."
"The ability to connect to a lot of different sources."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"Denodo can improve usage management-related aspects. If you deal with the mini views, it gets stuck. The performance is very slow when we go with a large number of views and high volume."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"Performance management could be improved."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"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."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
"Customization could be better."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
