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 product is completely secure."
"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"It is a scalable platform."
"Now, using this solution, it is much cheaper to have all of the data available for searching, not in real-time, but whenever there is a pending request."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"We use it for data science activities."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"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."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"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."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"Since Cloudera acquired HDP, it's been bundled with CBH and HDP. However, the biggest challenge is cloud storage integration with Azure, GCP, and AWS."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
