"Denodo to SSRS reporting "

2.5/5

What do you like best about Denodo?

-Performance is good, we're able to get huge amount of data in split of second considering the specs of our machine.

- It is easy to design views Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Denodo?

- Its kind a difficult to pass a parameter in the data source using denodo data source, because in our old reports we're using store procedure and we tried to convert all stored procedure the way how it looks like in denodo.

- Query function are limited and hand to understand.

- All in all maybe it is not recommended for SSRS report using advance data source query.

"Denodo Data Virtualization"

5/5

What do you like best about Denodo?

Denodo is best at creating a data virtualization layer caching and linking data between data source storage and end user data virtualization software. This software tool is especially brilliant when it comes to compatibility with various databases and file formats. Furthermore, it can quickly spin up a RESTful endpoint for data retrieval in different response data formats. Finally, Denodo also provides other web tools including the data catalog and diagnostic & monitoring tool which are both great supporting tools to manage the data that is being shared with the community and end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Denodo?

The limitation on community Denodo Express restricts the user to only a single administrator account which disables the properly of permission-based data access. This capability is rather important for deciding which user or groups is able to discover and gain access to a particular dataset. Meanwhile, with a single admin account, there is not much one can do to try out the multiple users and roles access control. Additionally, sometime it takes a few tries to launch the virtual data port server where the reason is unidentified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Denodo:

In the interest of organizing data for sharing, Denodo is a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Denodo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using Denodo as a data virtualization layer as its intended. The benefits are described in the like section above where the tool can quickly sync with a data source without much effort and create a RESTful or SOAP web services for end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Powerful DSP Product"

5/5

What do you like best about Denodo?

It is a very versatile platform, with a huge feature set from the get-go, but with an even greater set of capabilities as you dig deeper into the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Denodo?

Many of my dislikes we resolved with the 5.5 release. There are a few opportunities for automation as the number of servers grow, and integration between Denodo and other programs or scripting languages, though robust, is not as versatile as I would like.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Denodo:

Make sure you on are at least on version 5.5. We upgraded from version 4.6 and saw huge improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Denodo solving and how is that benefiting you?

In general using Denodo as an ETL tool for a myriad of different data sources. We have found exposing our Denodo Web Services via an API Gateway has increased it's versatility with other products. It's a tool that I hope our company continues to use more and more as we delve deeper into it's capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
