We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"I don't see any performance issues."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"The features I find most valuable is that the solution is that it is easy to install and to work with. It starts with the installation and from there on the management is very simple and centralized."
"The most valuable feature is Impala, the querying engine, which is very fast."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"It's stable and reliable."
"SAP HANA's interface is pretty user-friendly."
"SAP HANA is vertically and horizontally scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"The performance in terms of processing time is unmatched due to the in-memory processing capability."
"The solution can easily be modeled."
"We can save data very easily."
"The solution is marvelous because it controls everything including workflow and that makes our company more productive."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case."
"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."
"The solution does not support multiple languages very well and this means users need to create work-arounds to implement some solutions."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"The one thing that we struggled with predominately was support. Because it was relatively new, support was always a big issue and I think it's still a bit of an ongoing concern with the team currently managing it."
"The Cloudera training has deteriorated significantly."
"SAP HANA is a very proprietary tool and there's not as much support available for it as there is for an SQL Server (which is more popular)."
"When you do a report on a non-SAP platform, you face some compatibility problems."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The interface is a little bit hard to customize. You almost have to consult the SAP original developer to change it."
"It's a complex initial setup."
"Unlike other databases, it lacks management features that legacy databases like Oracle or SQL servers have. They need to make the solution easier to manage and offer tools that make management more effective. A lot of things you have on traditional databases you have to develop into HANA."
"In terms of improvement, the speed is not as good as we thought it would be. That is why we are trying different solutions that will be built with different technologies."
"The solution could improve by having better migration flexibility. For example, it would be helpful if there was a way for customers could check their nonproduction and production deployments."
