We performed a comparison between Cassandra and Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Our primary use case for the solution is testing."
"A consistent solution."
"I am getting much better performance than relational databases."
"Cassandra has some features that are more useful for specific use cases where you have time series where you have huge amounts of writes. That should be quick, but not specifically the reads. We needed to have quicker reads and writes and this is why we are using Cassandra right now."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."
"The technical evaluation is very good."
"The solution's database capabilities are very good."
"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"The product as a whole is good."
"I don't see any performance issues."
"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."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"The data science aspect of the solution is valuable."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"The initial setup of Cassandra can be difficult in the configuration. There might be a need to have assistance. The implementation process can six months for connecting to certain databases."
"There were challenges with the query language and the development interface. The query language, in particular, could be improved for better optimization. These challenges were encountered while using the Java SDK."
"The solution is limited to a linear performance."
"Doesn't support a solution that can give aggregation."
"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."
"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."
"Maybe they can improve their performance in data fetching from a high volume of data sets."
"There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"They should focus on upgrading their technical capabilities in the market."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"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."
"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 solution does not support multiple languages very well and this means users need to create work-arounds to implement some solutions."
