They initially evaluated TIBCO Data Virtualization. However, Denodo was much more flexible and worked cost wise as well.

We looked at other tools including Data Virtuality, Alteryx, and AWS Datahub.

This solution checked all of the boxes so we committed to it for proof of concept.

We made an internal analysis of available blind spots inside our organization and of our business needs and platform needs. We eliminated all competing platforms. We took a close look at many platforms but Denodo was the only one that fit all our requirements.

I'm also working with other solutions, not just Denodo. Denodo is more agnostic. It's meant for the Data Lake engine and is a better support for it.
