Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"The most valuable features of Denodo are the extraction option for adapters, and there are many things for the views, that are cached. Denodo is not storing the data, it looks first to tune the query, and these things are for the agents."
"Denodo makes it easy to export data as a service or data link to other services."
"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."
"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"Performance management could be improved."
"We occasionally have some integration issues that we need to work through."
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved. Instead of applying security at every individual level, it would be better if it were at the group or tier level. It will save a lot of time."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."
"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."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"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."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
