Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues.""I don't see any performance issues.""The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent.""CDH has a wide variety of proprietary tools that we use, like Impala. So from that perspective, it's quite useful as opposed to something open-source. We get a lot of value from Cloudera's proprietary tools.""The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable.""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 product provides better data processing features than other tools.""Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."

"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""My customers find the product cheaper compared to other solutions. The previous solution that we used did not have unified analytics like the runtime or the analog.""The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform.""I like the administration part."

Cons
"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 competitors provide better functionalities.""The dashboard could be improved.""While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties.""The pricing needs to improve.""Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance.""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."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop Cons →

"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools.""The product is not user-friendly.""The deployment could be faster. I want more support for the data lake in the next release.""Upgrading Ezmeral to a new version is a pain. They're trying to make the solution more container-friendly, so I think they're going in the right direction. The only problem we've had in the past was the upgrades. The process isn't smooth due to how the Red Hat operating system upgrades currently work.""Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
