Five Years of Customer Trust: What Gartner Peer Insights Tells Us About Choosing the Right Data Integration Partner
Reading Time: 3 minutes

When organizations evaluate enterprise software, analyst reports and vendor briefings can provide valuable guidance, but there’s another perspective that is equally important: the voice of the customer. Understanding what real users say about how a product performs in production, how responsive the vendor is, and how it delivers value over time can make all the difference in a buying decision. That’s where Gartner Peer Insights comes in.

What Is Gartner Peer Insights?

Gartner Peer Insights is a peer-driven review platform where verified enterprise users share their experiences with the software and technology products they use. Each review is validated by Gartner to ensure the credibility of participants, and the service comes directly from professionals with hands-on experience deploying and managing the product in real-world environments.

For technology buyers, Peer Insights offers an unfiltered view of what’s working, what’s challenging, and what kinds of results others are getting. Reviews are structured consistently, and they cover areas such as integration and deployment, customer support, product capabilities, and overall satisfaction. Peer Insights helps organizations make more confident decisions based on authentic peer perspectives, not just vendor claims.

The Denodo Take on what a Customers’ Choice Distinction Means

A Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice distinction, part of the regular Gartner Voice of the Customer report, recognize vendors who consistently score high ratings and positive feedback from customers. Unlike analyst-driven recognitions, these recognitions are entirely based on user feedback, a direct reflection of customer satisfaction and product performance.

To qualify, a vendor must meet rigorous criteria, including a minimum number of recent reviews, a high overall rating, and balanced feedback across industries, company sizes, and regions. In short, the Customers’ Choice distinction represents a trusted consensus of real customer experience.

For buyers, these recognitions provide a reliable benchmark: if a vendor gets acknowledged with a Customers’ Choice badge, it has proven its value not just in evaluations or proofs of concept, but in live enterprise deployments.

Denodo Named a 2025 Customers’ Choice, for the Fifth Year in a Row

This year, Denodo was named a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner® Peer Insights™ “Voice of the Customer”: Data Integration Tools report (published June 25, 2025)

With an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 and 93% of reviewers indicating a willingness to recommend the Denodo Platform based on 49 total reviews as of March 31, 2025, the recognition reflects a deep level of customer trust and satisfaction built over time. Denodo was one of only four vendors recognized as a Customers’ Choice in 2025, and notably, the only vendor to be recognized with a Customers’ Choice distinction five years in a row.

This sustained recognition is significant to Denodo. We believe that being named a Customer’s Choice once suggests strong customer satisfaction, but that being recognized with this distinction repeatedly demonstrates long-term trust and consistent delivery of value. The reviews behind this recognition highlight how customers use the Denodo Platform to unify distributed data in real time, simplify access through a universal semantic layer, and accelerate analytics and AI initiatives, all while maintaining data governance and cost control.

Why Denodo Believes that It Matters for Technology Buyers

For organizations exploring data integration, analytics, or data management solutions, Gartner Peer Insights and a Customers’ Choice distinction serve as powerful tools for due diligence. They provide:

  • Transparency: Real-world feedback from verified professionals in similar industries.
  • Credibility: Gartner validation ensures reviews come from genuine enterprise users.
  • Context: Insights into both the strengths and limitations of each platform.
  • Confidence: The reassurance that top-rated vendors are consistently delivering measurable results.

Our Final Thoughts

At Denodo, we feel that recognitions like a Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice is not just a badge of honor for vendors, they’re valuable signposts for buyers. In our opinion, they highlight the technologies that stand up to real-world demands and consistently deliver outcomes customers value most.

Denodo’s recognition as the only data integration vendor to be recognized with a Customers’ Choice distinction five years running is a testament to the trust placed in its platform by enterprises around the world. But beyond that, it’s a reminder that the best technology decisions are informed by the experiences of those who have already taken the journey — and platforms like Gartner Peer Insights make those experiences visible for everyone to learn from.
