Product Information on CData Virtuality

Updated 29th October 2025

What is CData Virtuality?

CData Virtuality is a software that enables data integration and virtualization by providing a platform to connect, combine, and query data from various sources in real time. The software allows users to create a unified data layer without moving or replicating data, supporting access through standard interfaces like SQL. It facilitates the process of integrating structured and unstructured data from databases, cloud applications, and other systems, streamlining data delivery for analytics and reporting. CData Virtuality helps organizations address challenges related to data fragmentation by offering features for real time data access, centralized management, and security controls. The software aims to improve data workflows by supporting efficient data connectivity and querying across heterogeneous environments.

CData Virtuality Pricing

CData Virtuality software uses a subscription-based pricing model with options based on the number of data sources, deployment flexibility, and user requirements. Pricing varies depending on on-premises or cloud deployment and additional features such as support or advanced connectors can affect the overall cost. Custom quotes are typically provided based on organizational needs and usage level.

“A great companion for a modern data architecture”

Sep 2, 2025
I'm working now with DV in my second position and overall, I'm very pleased with the product and service they provide. The Data Virtuality platform is a flexible tool that allowed us to enable several different use cases such as data governance, data quality checks, self service BI, data preparation for regulatory reporting, digital marketing analysis and refinement of the implementation of business logic. The features it offers are distinct from other virtualization products. Data Virtuality is especially useful for business analysis tasks. It allows architects to specify and test the correct integrations and identify problems in existing integrations. Additionally I enjoyed working with the Data Virtuality team. I feel that they cared about our concerns and always helped to find solutions.

CData Virtuality Likes & Dislikes

Like

Flexible agile system without compromising performance. Can be built on top of existing data environment Data Silos can be easily analyzed and integrated Access to real time data and API based data Ability to historize and materialize data Data manipulation capabilities via SQL and scripted SQL Self service analytics capabilities An interesting way to support Data Fabric/Data Mesh

Like

The job templates make it very clear what data is going to be available before you even create them based on different parameters as well as the previews available. This allowed us to make sure the job would get the same data we are able to get from the web. The tool efficiently handles large datasets, ensuring that the data is handled efficiently even as it grows in size. This capability also allows you to retrieve data from many years in the past without having to worry about the processing speeds or any capacity limits. This has been key for us in terms of reporting as most of the data comparisons we do require are for current data to the past year and past 2 years. The customer support team helps us to quickly resolve any issues we may run into when using the tool and answer any questions we may have about the data we are getting or the jobs we are creating. We ran into many errors when we started from the data warehouse we were setting up to the jobs we were running, but the support team was prompt in helping us resolve all of these issues to get the tool to work for us.

Like

Effortless Connectivity to Heterogeneous Data Sources. Intuitive user interface and simplified management. Optimized data access. Great product at low price. the combination of virtualization and replication in a single tool.

Dislike

The product continues to make leaps and bounds. It is now scalable and has disaster recovery tolerant configurations, essentially the previous weaknesses have been addressed.

Dislike

The tool is limited to using the job templates they have created instead of being able to create custom reports for your specific needs. This leads to trips to the support team to modify or create a job for the specific use case rather than being able to develop something on my own. There are multiple marketplaces that we sell on but were/are not available to be connected to this tool. This will again lead to communication with the support team to see if this is something that they can develop for us which will take some time or if they cannot connect to this marketplace. The pricing structure promotes bundling multiple connectors into a plan at a time when that may not be the most efficient for smaller businesses that would prefer to implement one source at a time. When we started our plan, the time it took to validate one data source while we were paying for 5 sources was not as cost effective as it could have been for us.

Dislike

With the acquisition by CDATA, there are still certain connectors that are not fully enabled for use on the platform.

    CData Virtuality: A Scalable Solution for Efficient Data Management

    5.0
    Mar 31, 2025
    We began looking into this tool because we were looking for something that could connect to and pull data from all of the marketplaces we are active on for automated reporting. This tool has been great in terms of creating this reporting as well as automating some of our current processes. Especially as we have grown and created new reports, the tool has been very flexible in terms of new data sources, jobs, and updates.
