We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and Hortonworks Data Platform 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 product is completely secure."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."
"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The Hortonworks solution is so stable. It is working as a production system, without any error, without any downtime. If I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"Now, using this solution, it is much cheaper to have all of the data available for searching, not in real-time, but whenever there is a pending request."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"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 tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"The governance aspect of the solution should be improved."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"Since Cloudera acquired HDP, it's been bundled with CBH and HDP. However, the biggest challenge is cloud storage integration with Azure, GCP, and AWS."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
