Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools.""It is helpful to gather and process data.""We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures.""The data science aspect of the solution is valuable.""The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable.""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.""We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there are a lot of things that need to improve. I believe they are working on that.""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."

Cons
"This is a very expensive solution.""The governance aspect of the solution should be improved.""I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster.""It could be faster and more user-friendly.""Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on.""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.""There are multiple bugs when we update.""The price of this solution could be lowered."
