Denodo Users Gain 345% ROI, 3–4x Faster Time-to-Insight, and Other Advantages, When Deployed alongside a Data Lakehouse

Mustafa Eid, Dubai, UAE – September 25, 2025:

Denodo, a leader in data management, announced a study by independent analyst firm Veqtor8. It shows that organizations using Denodo alongside modern data lakehouses achieve much higher ROI than those using lakehouses alone.

Therefore, companies that do not use Denodo risk losing millions of dollars and delaying AI and analytics projects by months.

Study Methodology

Veqtor8 conducted structured research and in-depth interviews with large companies using leading data lakehouse platforms. They compared companies that use Denodo with those that do not.

This method allowed the study to measure technical, operational, and financial impacts clearly.

Key Findings

Organizations using Denodo alongside a modern data lakehouse achieved:

• 345% ROI over three years, based on stakeholder interviews and industry benchmarks.

• $3.6 million in cost avoidance, mainly from reduced engineering complexity and infrastructure needs.

• Payback in just 6.5 months, verified from participating organizations.

• 3–4x faster time-to-insight, thanks to virtualized data access and a semantic abstraction layer.

In contrast, companies without Denodo must rely on costly custom pipelines, point-to-point integrations, and redundant governance tools. This results in more effort, longer timelines, and wasted investments.

Expert Insights

“Lakehouses provide essential storage and compute, but they cannot deliver business-ready data alone,” said Andrew Milroy, chief analyst at Veqtor8. “Without Denodo, enterprises face delays, higher costs, and missed opportunities, especially in AI and real-time decisions.”

Ravi Shankar, SVP and CMO at Denodo, added: “Organizations lose both money and effort when relying solely on lakehouses. The study confirms Denodo gives financial benefits and faster insights. Non-Denodo users experience higher costs and slower timelines.”

A head of technology at a global bank noted: “Using Denodo, we can feed fraud models with real-time transaction data. This reduces deployment by months.”

Conclusion

Denodo enables enterprises to unify governance, simplify data engineering, and deliver AI-ready data across silos. It also avoids costly replication and infrastructure delays. Projects that took months without Denodo can now be done in days.
