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.""The product provides better data processing features than other tools.""The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent.""The file system is a valuable feature.""Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis.""With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility.""The most valuable feature is Kubernetes.""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."

"InfoSphere Streams was the one core product from the platform in which we were using. We were building a real-time response system and we built it on InfoSphere Streams."

Cons
"The one thing that we struggled with predominately was support. Because it was relatively new, support was always a big issue and I think it's still a bit of an ongoing concern with the team currently managing it.""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.""Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved.""The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case.""The Cloudera training has deteriorated significantly.""There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one.""Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance.""While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties."
