We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and Netezza Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, Cloudera, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Hadoop."Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity."
"We are using applications, such as Splunk, Livy, Hadoop, and Spark. We are using all of these applications in Amazon EMR and they're helping us a lot."
"This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"It is a back end for our SSIS, MicroStrategy,, Tableau. All of these are connecting to get the data. To do so we are also using our analytics which is built on the data."
"Data compression. It was relatively impressive. I think at some point we were getting 4:1 compression if not more."
"The performance of the solution is its most valuable feature. The solution is easy to administer as well. It's very user-friendly. On the technical side, the architecture is simple to understand and you don't need too many administrators to handle the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The need for administration involvement is quite limited on the solution."
"Speed contributes to large capacity."
"For me, as an end-user, everything that I do on the solution is simple, clear, and understandable."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit."
"As people are shifting from legacy solutions to other technologies, Amazon EMR needs to add more features that give more flexibility in managing user data."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"We don't have much control. If we have multiple users, if they want to scale up, the cost will go and increase and we don't know how we can restrict that price part."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"The most valuable features of this solution are robustness and support."
"The Analytics feature should be simplified."
"Administration of this product is too tough. It's very complex because of the tools which it's missing."
"The hardware has a risk of failure. They need to improve this."
"The solution could implement more reporting tools and networking utilities."
"In-DB processing with SAS Analytics, since this is supposed to be an analytics server so the expectation is there."
"I'm not sure of IBM's roadmap currently, as the solution is coming up on its end of life."
"This product is being discontinued from IBM, and I would like to have some kind of upgrade available."
