4.3
Overview
Agora, the Denodo cloud service running on AWS, provides a unified and trusted data access and delivery layer, seamlessly connecting all data sources (whether on-premises, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments) into a single, business-friendly view. By simplifying access to distributed data, Agora establishes a secure, governed foundation for data-driven initiatives, transforming scattered, siloed data into a cohesive, accessible asset for the entire organization.
Designed to integrate with all AWS data services, including Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, and Amazon Redshift, as well as third-party cloud services and legacy on-premises sources, Agora offers over 200 data connectors. This wide connectivity allows organizations to manage distributed data sources seamlessly, presenting them to data consumers as if they were a single, unified source.
A universal semantic layer atop Agora's architecture translates complex data sets into consistent, business-friendly views that make data actionable for all users, regardless of technical expertise. Agora's semantic layer and metadata can also be shared with Large Language Models (LLMs) in Amazon Bedrock, ensuring that these models generate accurate, context-rich responses, enhancing both user trust and business outcomes.
Agora enables organizations to enforce access controls, reporting, auditing, and compliance directly within its unified data layer. By embedding governance alongside data delivery, Agora allows companies to manage risks and ensure compliance across all data sources, without compromising agility or accessibility.
Agora's embedded Data Catalog further enhances this experience by providing a unified view of data assets and services. Users can easily search for relevant data, access it directly, share it with team members, or export it to their preferred business intelligence (BI) environments.
The benefits are substantial: data preparation times for data scientists are reduced by 67%, data delivery speeds increase by 65% compared to traditional ETL methods, and query performance sees a tenfold improvement, all while lowering operational costs.

Virtualization has improved query speed and cost savings but proof of concept remains unclear
Reviewed on Dec 02, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
I don't use Denodo , but we are in contact with this product. I am involved in decision-making around Denodo and I am considering this solution.
What is most valuable?
I saw a demo showing that Denodo doesn't require any storage and the query performance is very fast. Denodo has a virtualizing feature that eliminates the need for storage and allows for better query planning, resulting in faster performance than ever before.
Denodo's virtualization feature is beneficial for many siloed databases as it links them well, making it useful.
Denodo has positively impacted my organization through cost savings. Saving time and resources is important to me when discussing Denodo. The fast query performance of Denodo means saving time.
What needs improvement?
If Denodo could make the POC period more solid and clear so that more people can try using it, I think that would help significantly.
It would be better if Denodo could clearly explain to customers what advantages virtualization technology has over general other data warehouse technologies.
I don't have anything more I want for Denodo beyond what I've already mentioned.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've worked in this field for five years.
What was our ROI?
I want to exit this investment in Denodo as I haven't seen a return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm not sure about Denodo's pricing or any setup costs and licensing. I don't know about the pricing of Denodo yet.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I compare Denodo with other solutions and I don't know which is the best.
I would advise others looking into using Denodo to compare it with other solutions and ask more questions about the virtualization feature.
What other advice do I have?
We only have a business relationship with Denodo as a customer.
I am interested in being a reference for Denodo. Denodo should not contact me if they have any questions or comments about my review.
Please use an anonymous name when publishing my review. I don't want to use my real company name in the review as we are just comparing this solution.
My review rating for Denodo is 7.

Has simplified multi-database querying and accelerated solution delivery with minimal setup

Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I used Denodo for a few months early this year, from January to March. My main use case for Denodo during that period was visualizing data from Snowflake and other databases across multiple databases and doing various types of analytics on the data inserted in those databases. We used Denodo for getting the data across multiple databases and matching the data in between these databases to have a single entry point for our queries.
For example, we had a bunch of files arriving on Azure Data Lake Storage, and we needed to match when these files arrived to what we needed to do with those files that were stored in a Snowflake instance. So, we used Denodo to cross this data and select queries, and then apply the Azure function that we needed to do to these files that were arriving on our Azure storage.
What is most valuable?
Denodo offers a great query language, the VQL, which was very easy to understand for someone that only knows SQL. It was easy to work with, and it was easy to integrate various types of databases in general. The usability of the platform is very great. The federated queries were also a feature that I used a lot. The easy usability of Denodo helped my work and made things easier for productivity. We were able to ship code faster than if we needed to use another type of data visualization tool or even an ETL.
When we have multiple databases, the standard or common approach is just to have an ETL that matches the data, and we need to write this whole ETL. With Denodo, we can simplify this whole work to a few queries or setups in the databases and just make a few queries. This was actually easier, and it was faster to deliver a solution for a client instead of building a whole ETL pipeline or simply backfilling one database in another. Denodo simplifies your work and helps you ship code or ship solutions in a faster way. I really like the UI that Denodo has on the web app version. It was very simple and actually very beautiful to see. For a complicated program, it was very easy to understand how it works, even for someone who is just approaching the data engineering career or side of the programming language.
What needs improvement?
The desktop version of the Denodo app has a difficult UX to understand, touch, and set up. But they have fixed that on the web app version, which is nice. Overall, the platform works great with the current setup that they have. I didn't really get to know the quirks and the bad side of the platform, as I've only used it for three months. In my opinion, it's a great software, and it's not buggy at all. The interface is simple and easy to understand.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working in my current field for eight years right now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Denodo is stable.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for Denodo is great. They are very easy to work with, and all my questions and concerns were answered in a very short amount of time.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I didn't previously use a different solution before Denodo. When I saw Denodo for the first time, I thought it was great, but it was not my choosing to use Denodo; it was the standard platform for the company I was working at.
How was the initial setup?
We use Microsoft Azure as the cloud provider for Denodo's private cloud deployment.
What was our ROI?
I can't share any metrics with you because I was just a developer. But my general impression is that yes, Denodo saves a lot of employees and development time. Because if you don't need to write a whole ETL to make the data virtualization, you need way fewer people to write a query instead of writing an ETL pipeline.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I didn't really manage the setup cost, licensing, and pricing for Denodo. But in my opinion, it's very expensive. For small companies, it's not a solution that most small companies can afford. But for big companies, the pricing seems fair. It would be nice to have a cheaper version of Denodo for small businesses.
What other advice do I have?
My main advice is to read the documentation for Denodo. It's a very powerful solution, but it has a lot of quirks and a lot of things that can be done and should be done the right way to have better performance when using Denodo. The documentation is very clear and will help you 99% of the times. The review rating is 9.

Instant Unified Data Access, No ETL Required
Reviewed on Oct 27, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy the setup process is with Denodo, thanks to its extensive collection of built-in connectors that make integration seamless. The ability of Denodo to connect virtually to all my data sources and present them as a unified view is invaluable, as it reduces the time my staff spends on data collection, reconciliation, and cleaning. The unified data access and the logical layer abstraction offered by Denodo effectively consolidate data from multiple systems like ERP, CRM, and spreadsheets, giving users and applications a single source of truth without the need for complex ETL processes. This gives me instant access to multiple systems, streamlining our data governance efforts. The single logical layer created by Denodo is especially beneficial when integrated with tools like Qlik Sense, enhancing our data visualization and analysis capabilities. Overall, I highly value these capabilities as they significantly improve our workflows and data management processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Enterprises grade software can be expensive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Denodo connects scattered data sources, providing a unified view and saving staff time on data collection, reconciliation, and cleaning.
