3) Good range of pre-defined functions.

What do you dislike?

1) GUIs for Monitor and scheduling applications need a revamp.

Data Analysis:

I have been using Denodo to read data from a variety of sources like Enterprise Datawarehouse, Cloud services and third party APIs. Denodo eliminates the need for lengthy ETL processes and makes analysis very easy.

Easy solution build:

Even when a solution needs to be built using all these sources, we could leverage Denodo to be used as a source and process it in a different framework.

Time-saving:

By bringing all sources to one place, Denodo helps ion reducing development time by a huge percentage. ETL needs proper procedures to be setup and company regulations mean it would take months to move data. Using a data virtualization tool reduces that time to minuites.
