We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a file system for data collection. There are nodes in this cluster that contain all the information, directories, and other files. The nodes are based on the MySQL database.""The most important feature is its ability to handle large volumes. Some of our customers have really large volumes, and it is capable of handling their data in terms of the core volume and daily incremental volume. So, its processing power and speed are most valuable.""The performance is pretty good.""The tool's stability is good.""The ability to add multiple nodes without any restriction is the solution's most valuable aspect.""Initially, with RDBMS alone, we had a lot of work and few servers running on-premise and on cloud for the PoC and incubation. With the use of Hadoop and ecosystem components and tools, and managing it in Amazon EC2, we have created a Big Data "lab" which helps us to centralize all our work and solutions into a single repository. This has cut down the time in terms of maintenance, development and, especially, data processing challenges.""What comes with the standard setup is what we mostly use, but Ambari is the most important.""As compared to Hive on MapReduce, Impala on MPP returns results of SQL queries in a fairly short amount of time, and is relatively fast when reading data into other platforms like R."

"The performance and scalability are awesome.""I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system.""Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets.""With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it.""The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle.""Self-patching and runs machine-learning across its logs all the time""I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW.""A very good integration feature that restricts access to unauthorized people."

Cons
"The solution is not easy to use. The solution should be easy to use and suitable for almost any case connected with the use of big data or working with large amounts of data.""It needs better user interface (UI) functionalities.""I think more of the solution needs to be focused around the panel processing and retrieval of data.""It could be more user-friendly.""Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support.""The main thing is the lack of community support. If you want to implement a new API or create a new file system, you won't find easy support.""The stability of the solution needs improvement.""It would be good to have more advanced analytics tools."

More Apache Hadoop Cons →

"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy.""I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end.""I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future.""It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects.""It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment.""One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace.""Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable.""The solution lacks visibility options."

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 cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
  • "ROI is high."
  • "You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
  • "Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
  • "The solution's cost is reasonable."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
  • "The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
  • "The price depends on the configuration we choose."

    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.

    Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is the world’s first and only autonomous database optimized for analytic workloads, including data marts, data warehouses, data lakes, and data lakehouses. With Autonomous Data Warehouse, data scientists, business analysts, and nonexperts can rapidly, easily, and cost-effectively discover business insights using data of any size and type. Built for the cloud and optimized using Oracle Exadata, Autonomous Data Warehouse benefits from faster performance and, according to an IDC report (PDF), lowers operational costs by an average of 63%.


    Autonomous Database provides the foundation for a data lakehouse—a modern, open architecture that enables you to store, analyze, and understand all your data. The data lakehouse combines the power and richness of data warehouses with the breadth, flexibility, and low cost of popular open source data lake technologies. Access your data lakehouse through Autonomous Database using the world's most powerful and open SQL processing engine.
