"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."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"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 solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"Easy to use components to create the job."
"Pentaho is an analytics platform that can be used when an organization has a lot of big data storage systems already installed and needs to manage and analyze that data. It has a specific use case for unstructured data, such as documents, and needs to be able to search and analyze it."
"I use the BI Server, CDE Dashboards, Saiku, and Kettle, because these tools are very good and highly experienced."
"The most valuable feature of Pentaho is the Tableau report."
"We were able to install it without any assistance from tech support."
"Pentaho Business Analytics' best features include the ease of developing data flows and the wide range of options to connect to databases, including those on the cloud."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"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 security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"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 better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"Deployment is not simple. It is not simple because we are dealing with a lot of data; we are dealing with a lot of storage. So, it's not a simple process."
"We did not achieve the ROI. The work delivered to users had lesser value than the subscription cost."
"Pentaho Business Analytics' user interface is outdated."
"Pentaho, at the general level, should greatly improve the easy construction of its dashboards and easy integration of information from different sources without technical user intervention."
"Version control would be a good addition."
"Logging capability is needed."
"The repository should be improved."
"Another concern is that Pentaho is not customizable or interactive."
