Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is easy to expand. We haven't seen any issues with it in that sense. We've added 10 servers, and we've added two nodes. We've been expanding since we started using it since we started out so small. Companies that need to scale shouldn't have a problem doing so.""Its integration is Hadoop's best feature because that allows us to support different tools in a big data platform.""It's open-source, so it's very cost-effective.""Most valuable features are HDFS and Kafka: Ingestion of huge volumes and variety of unstructured/semi-structured data is feasible, and it helps us to quickly onboard a new Big Data analytics prospect.""The most valuable feature is scalability and the possibility to work with major information and open source capability.""The tool's stability is good.""I liked that Apache Hadoop was powerful, had a lot of tools, and the fact that it was free and community-developed.""It's primarily open source. You can handle huge data volumes and create your own views, workflows, and tables. I can also use it for real-time data streaming."

More Apache Hadoop Pros →

"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues.""The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure.""The stability of this solution was very good.""Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible.""With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution.""RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs.""After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard.""The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."

Cons
"The solution is very expensive.""The solution could use a better user interface. It needs a more effective GUI in order to create a better user environment.""The solution needs a better tutorial. There are only documents available currently. There's a lot of YouTube videos available. However, in terms of learning, we didn't have great success trying to learn that way. There needs to be better self-paced learning.""I would like to see more direct integration of visualization applications.""Real-time data processing is weak. This solution is very difficult to run and implement.""The stability of the solution needs improvement.""The upgrade path should be improved because it is not as easy as it should be.""From the Apache perspective or the open-source community, they need to add more capabilities to make life easier from a configuration and deployment perspective."

More Apache Hadoop Cons →

"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols.""The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles.""VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand.""It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools.""I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc.""The availability could be better.""They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data.""The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
  • "​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
  • "This is a low cost and powerful solution."
  • "The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
  • "If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
  • "We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."
  • "The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
  • "We just use the free version."
  • More Apache Hadoop Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:It's primarily open source. You can handle huge data volumes and create your own views, workflows, and tables. I can also use it for real-time data streaming.
    Top Answer:Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support. So, you have to have deeper knowledge. You need to improvise based on that.
    Top Answer:IBM MQ has a great reputation behind it, and this solution is very robust with great stability. It is easy to use, simple to configure and integrates well with our enterprise ecosystem and protocols… more »
    Top Answer:It’s an open-source solution. There are no expenses for using it.

    Overview
    The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

    VMware Tanzu is a robust platform tailored for data warehousing, complex analytics, BI applications, and predictive analytics. It excels in scalability, performance, and parallel processing, enhancing data handling efficiency. Users report significant productivity improvements and streamlined operations, making it ideal for comprehensive data solutions.
