We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop 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."Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is pretty simple to set up."
"This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"The project management is very streamlined."
"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."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"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."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there are a lot of things that need to improve. I believe they are working on that."

"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit."
"Amazon EMR can improve by adding some features, such as megastore services and HiveServer2. Additionally, the user interface could be better, similar to what Apache service provides, cross-platform services."
