Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis.""It is helpful to gather and process data.""It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products.""The most valuable feature is Impala, the querying engine, which is very fast.""The solution is stable.""The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements.""The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"The most valuable feature of Couchbase is document indexing. It is better than MongoDB. Additionally, the solution is easy to use.""I can input any kind of document into the solution and it is integrated using a dynamic API. This has been the most valuable aspect of using this solution.""The main advantages were associated with it being a no SQL database. It helped us send out metrics or rewards to multiple players in our game at a very low latency.""The whole stack is valuable, but the portion of the stack that we're finding really handy is the analytics engine because that allows us to take and pre-build views.""The valuable features of Couchbase are the many documents and index types, and they made a lot of features available enabling us to use it as a complete solution for our needs.""The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data.""It can scale horizontally, and we are looking to expand our capacity.""Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application."

Cons
"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on.""It could be faster and more user-friendly.""We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there is a lot of things that need to improve.""The governance aspect of the solution should be improved.""The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required.""There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one.""The Cloudera training has deteriorated significantly.""It would be useful if Cloudera had more tools like SQL Engines that offer the traditional relational database. We have to do a lot of work preparing the data outside Cloudera before getting it into the platform."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop Cons →

"The failover and failback could be a bit easier. When I looked at it last time, it had to be manually done. It also took over an hour for us to rebalance all the nodes.""One thing that could improved upon is the level of concurrency. The documentation for this solution could also be improved.""Needs some capacity planning to deal with too much memory, CPUs and displays.""The performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process.""It is very difficult to load the backup of the older version to the newer version.""It's easy to deploy. Where the challenge comes in is when you start putting data in, doing the indexes, and doing the integration with systems. Integration is one of their weakest points. Natively, there should be a wide range of integration options to be able to get data in.""I have tried multiple libraries in a demo they provide and it works fine, but when it merges with libraries, it creates a problem.""Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "When comparing with Oracle Sybase and SQL, it's cheaper. It's not expensive."
  • "The price could be better for the product."
  • "I haven't bought a license for this solution. I'm only using the Apache license version."
  • "Cloudera requires a license to use."
  • "Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is expensive, with support costs involved."
  • "I wouldn't recommend CDH to others because of its high cost."
  • "The price is very high. The solution is expensive."
  • "The solution is expensive."

  • "The price of this solution is better than some of the other competitors."
  • "We estimate that it's not very expensive, however, the pricing that you can get from the account managers, e.g. the public pricing, could be a bit expensive."
  • "I wouldn't say Couchbase offers good value for money."
  • "It seems very reasonable. It's a lot cheaper than Redis, but we've got an enterprise license. So, it's about normal. It's not outrageous in price as far as we've seen. From Couchbase, there's no additional fee as far as I'm aware, but when you're integrating, there's an additional fee because a lot of times, they don't have an integration stack."
  • "I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing as it is affordable."
