We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and Hortonworks Data Platform 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."We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable."
"I don't see any performance issues."
"The solution is stable."
"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"We use it for data science activities."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"The solution does not support multiple languages very well and this means users need to create work-arounds to implement some solutions."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
