Denodo Initial Setup

Dash Bibhuprasad - PeerSpot reviewer

The deployment was good, but finding the right environment to deploy to isn't too easy. For every new product, we do an infrastructure assessment and we did the same for Denodo. Initially, it took some time to make it happen with all the approvals needed, but in terms of complexity, it wasn't too bad. I would rate the complexity of the deployment a 6/10.

Our proof-of-concept took place over the course of about four months, and the POC version was very easy to handle since we got a lot of support from Denodo during that time. Their team was always talking to us and came in with two or three guys at a time. When someone is there helping you, backing you up, you feel comfortable. Of course, it took a bit of time to get all our staff on board, but it was easy enough.

When we went with the full and final rehearsal, it actually took more time to work than expected to make everything ready. This took about two to three weeks for us, because we first needed the results from the security team, infrastructure team, payment team, and so on. There were many people involved in the deployment, both internally and externally, so it did take a while to get settled.

It's very easy to set up the product. We have the solution manager on Denodo, so you can basically create a revision. Suppose you have the database from one environment, for example, from development. In that case, it will generate basically a backup, and it will deploy this backup in the other servers that you want.

We have three people that handle the implementation and deployment. It's me and two students in my team who are learning how to do this stuff. We basically have three DevOps engineers who are in charge of that.

The deployment of Denodo is very quick. It takes less than a minute.

In terms of maintenance, usually, we don't have many problems. Sometimes we face issues with credentials, however, the procedure that we need to establish is not yet well-defined. That said, usually, in production, we hardly ever have problems.

The setup includes what is essentially a kind of software installation. If you go for the cloud-based tool, it's not much of an installation at that, because you just plug in your databases and you're ready to start working with it.

It's very easy and very fast. Basically, you are just plugging in the databases and setting the location of the cloud-based URL which will be shared by your team.

When I came to the company, the initial setup was already done. It was already there, but from what I have heard, Denodo has been very helpful with the initial setup. We did buy a package so that we get the initial help for setting up everything.

I wasn't involved with the company's implementation. Deployment was pretty straightforward when I implemented it on my laptop. There wasn't much to it; you install it, and it starts working.

Initially, we had a lot of trouble, but later on, our DevOps team prepared a script. Then, everything went well. Now, it takes half an hour to set up a new environment.

We have two people who handle the deployment and maintenance.

I am unsure if the solution is deployed on an on-premises model, but I am sure that it is not deployed on the cloud.

The initial setup was easy. Also, connecting Denodo to Power BI was a smooth process. It was simple to connect it with a Denodo ODBC connector. So installation and connecting with other tools were both very easy. 

For deployment and maintenance, we are a team of two developers. It took around eight months to develop the unified views.

Setup is simple on the cloud. The on-premises setup could be more complex depending on the security firewalls.

Tech Lead and Architect at SEI

The initial setup was okay for us and was not complicated. We created a couple of virtual machines; we got a 4-core license. We installed two VMs, and one was always active. The second one was always down. Whenever we needed the second one, we brought it up. Otherwise, we mainly worked on one VM.

Once the VMs and all the machines and infrastructure were ready, the installation and setting up of all the configurations took two to three days maximum to complete.

For maintenance, we have three persons, two on-site in the US and one offshore.

As a developer, I can easily set up the solution on my local Kubernetes. Local configuration is pretty easy.

The initial setup of Denodo is straightforward. The time it takes to deploy depends on each scenario. If you are looking for an inspired level of adoption, that will require time to model the data. However, if you are looking to use Denodo on a more simplified basis, deployment will not take longer than a couple of weeks.

Being an architect, I would rate the ease of setup a four and a half out of five.

Because it's an enterprise system, it was both straightforward and complex. There is no such thing as not complex for an enterprise.

It took some months for a POC.

Head of Data Service Department at a government with 201-500 employees

The initial setup has two parts. The technical setup is very easy and the functional setup needs a lot of work, but this cannot be avoided because of the very nature of data virtualization. You have to technically describe all of your data sources, how to access them, where they are situated and so on. The amount of work is substantial, not overwhelming but substantial. Denodo has made it as simple as it's reasonably possible to expect. We are happy with the level of sophistication.

Deployment is an ongoing process. It is going on right now. If you have new data sources, you have to describe and set them up. As we have lots of data sources due to the very nature of our activities, as a national statistics organization, we have lots of data and we are setting up additional data sources every single day. The implementation is still ongoing but there is nothing wrong with that. It's the nature of the platform.

The initial setup was as simple as you could make it be in the complex environment that we have.

From kick-off to the completion of the configuration, it took around two to three months.

Deputy General Manager at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees

The initial setup is a bit new to us and it can be a bit complex. Having customer support that could assist us more effectively would be helpful in easing the process.

The deployment process depends on the client and their requirements (such as the number of data fields required). It can be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

Part of the installation could be improved. It needs to support a higher resolution. We have some customers that have very high-resolution laptops and the installation isn't as smooth because of this. We aren't able to install everything. For us, that's a downside because it's limiting.
