Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It can support a number of data sources, and it can pull flat files, from cloud-based databases or from those on-premises. Denodo can pull from any data source and interface with the view. Then, we can publish the view.""The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs.""Denodo is lightweight in terms of how it leads you to combine your discrete data systems at one spot.""It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo.""The ability to transfer data is very valuable.""It is a very stable solution.""Denodo is very stable.""The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."

More Denodo Pros →

"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG.""The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board.""Data discovery is very simple.""The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it.""The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized.""The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product.""It's scalable.""The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."

Cons
"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 git configuration really should be improved.""The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement.""The integration could use improvement, it's a lot of non-speed line processes that we have discovered, in the country. The configurations could use a lot more improvement.""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.""Monitoring event logs can be improved. In the older version, there was a monitoring schedule to get event reports and properly audit the reports. In the newer version, it is not there, and we have to manually configure data and audit events.""The solution should have its own acceleration technology."

More Denodo Cons →

"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced.""I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist.""When you do the data loading, it is slow.""The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge.""We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding.""The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved.""One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
