CloverDX vs. Denodo

CloverDX designer as a standalone is well suited for fairly straightforward transformations of data. If you want to do large scale data integrations, then their server edition adds an extra level of automation and job control.

Denodo allows us to create and combine new views to create a
virtual repository and APIs without a single line of code. It is excellent
because it can present connectors with a view format for downstream consumers
by flattening a JSON file. Reading or connecting to various sources and
displaying a tabular view is an excellent feature. The product's technical data
catalog is well-organized.

• Connects with Salesforce very well
• The graphical view of the transformations allows for easy creations and maintenance
• Support has always been eager to assist with any graph creation difficulties I run into

• Database Agnostic: You can easily connect to different environments and mash up data sets.
• The "magic" of data virtualization: No data is created, so data is reported in near-real-time to end users.
• It's easy to use UI for developers. You just connect to a data source, create tables, and join them to other datasets.

• The initial learning curve is a little steep. Not very steep or super steep, just a little steep.
• Having enough memory for large multi-step problems can be an issue if the graph isn't designed well.

• Caching - but I am sure it will be improved by now. There were times when we expected the cache to be refreshed but it was stale.
• Schema generation of endpoints from API response was sometimes incomplete as not all API calls returned all the fields. Will be good to have an ability to load the schema itself (XSD/JSON/Soap XML etc).
• Denodo exposed web services were in preliminary stage when we used; I'm sure it will be improved by now.
• Export/Import deployment, while it was helpful, there were unexpected issues without any errors during deployment. Issues were only identified during testing. Some views were not created properly and did not work. If it was working in the environment from where it was exported from, it should work in the environment where it is imported.

Denodo is very easy to use. It has a user-friendly drag and drop interface. I'm not a fan of the java platform it resides on.

Denodo is a tool to rapidly mash data sources together and create meaningful datasets. It does have its downfalls though. When you create larger, more complex datasets, you will most likely need to cache your datasets, regardless of how proper your joins are set up. Since DV takes data from multiple environments, you are taxing the corporate network, so you need to be conscious of how much data you are sending through the network and truly understand how and when to join datasets due to this.

While CloverDX has an active forum for users to submit questions and assist with answers, their in house support team is incredibly responsive when I've contacted them for assistance. This seems almost at odds with most other software companies who try to save money on tech support by promoting a forum or knowledge base.

CloverDX was a less expensive alternative to Talend and had a more intuitive interface from what I could see during the evaluation.

Denodo is simple and easy to use. Highly recommended unless you have huge volumes of data

• Work that use to take multiple people 20 to 30 hours a week to complete each has now been fully automated to where only 1 or 2 hours a week for maintenance is required.

• It is a huge advantage that we can connect to many different databases to provide data rapidly and accurately.
• It has proven to be a valuable environment for deploying data virtualization solutions, and its user community is active in finding and fixing issues.
