Denodo, a leading data management company, released a study comparing the ROI of using the Denodo platform with Data Lakehouses like Snowflake and Databricks to the ROI of just using Lakehouses. Companies risk losing millions and facing delays in AI and analytics initiatives without a logical data management platform like Denodo.

The study by Veqtor8 found that using Denodo with a modern Data Lakehouse resulted in a 345% ROI over three years, saving $3.6 million in costs, and achieving payback in just 6.5 months. Companies using Denodo also gained insights 3-4 times faster due to virtualized data access and a semantic abstraction layer.

Without Denodo, companies faced costly custom pipelines, point-to-point integrations, and redundant data governance tools, leading to technical complexity, longer timelines, and wasted investments. Andrew Milroy, Chief Analyst at Veqtor8, emphasized that Lakehouses alone cannot deliver business-ready data, causing project delays and missed opportunities in AI and real-time decision-making.

Denodo enables companies to unify governance, simplify data engineering, and provide AI-ready, business-ready data across silos without costly replication and infrastructure delays. Customers reported that initiatives that took months without Denodo could be implemented within days with Denodo.

According to Ravi Shankar, SVP and CMO at Denodo, companies lose money and competitiveness by solely relying on Data Lakehouses without logical data management support. The Veqtor8 study confirms the financial benefits of using Denodo with a Data Lakehouse, as realized by Denodo customers.

A global bank’s CTO participating in the study said, “With Denodo, we can now feed our fraud models with real-time transaction data from various systems, reducing deployment time by months.” Veqtor8 published the study results in a whitepaper titled “The ROI of Using the Denodo Platform with Modern Data Lakehouse.”

Denodo’s award-winning platform transforms data into trusted insights for all data initiatives, including AI and self-service. International customers have delivered trustworthy, AI and business-ready data in a third of the time with Denodo, outperforming Lakehouses and mainstream data platforms alone.
