Data Virtuality vs Denodo

Data Virtuality is a flexible data integration platform that delivers results faster and is easier to set up and use than Denodo.

Holistic Data Integration: Data Virtuality provides a unified platform that integrates both logical and physical data methods, along with ETL/ELT, streaming, and CDC, granting maximum flexibility. In contrast, Denodo focuses solely on logical data integration. 

SaaS Offering: Unlike Denodo, Data Virtuality offers a fully managed SaaS platform. This facilitates easier access, reduces time-to-market, and minimizes maintenance needs. Nevertheless, on-premise and VPC deployments remain available. 

Competitive Pricing: Data Virtuality’s entry-level plan is not only more affordable but also includes essential features that Denodo’s equivalent plan lacks.

Use Cases: By supporting both logical and physical data integration, Data Virtuality excels in diverse scenarios, such as hybrid and multi-cloud setups, and facilitates access to historical data. Its integration capabilities provide a robust tool-set, giving it an advantage over Denodo in addressing a broader spectrum of data challenges.

The major benefit of SaaS solutions compared to on-premises solutions is the reduction in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by more than 50%: “Industry research shows that the TCO for an on-premises system will be more than double that of a SaaS-based cloud solution.”

Data Virtuality leverages multiple data integration methods, offering the potential to address data challenges more effectively than singular platforms focused only on logical integration. Here’s how Data Virtuality differentiates itself from Denodo on common integration challenges:

Hybrid- and Multi-Cloud integration:

Data Virtuality facilitates seamless integration across various (cloud) environments, reducing single-provider dependency while ensuring data quality, governance, and cost-effective scalability. Unlike Denodo, Data Virtuality supports “lift and shift” migration of data to the cloud.

Customer Data Integration:

For a comprehensive view of customer data, integration from APIs is often essential. However, APIs present challenges like rate limits, data retrieval limits, and short-lived data availability. Data Virtuality not only provides access but also replicates API data, efficiently overcoming these challenges. This replication ensures you have access to historical data even if it’s no longer available or accessible through the API. In contrast, Denodo’s absence of API data replication capabilities makes it less versatile, especially when historical data retrieval is crucial.

Live Data Access Without Straining Source Systems:

Data Virtuality’s CDC feature allows for data offloading from legacy systems (e.g., Intersystems Cache) to high-performance databases. This not only reduces load on original systems but also enables direct, live data access via data virtualization.

Data Replication & Migration:

With Data Virtuality, you can utilize various replication types like incremental, batch, copy-over, upsert update, and slowly changing dimension type 2 (history update) to automate data movement.
