We performed a comparison between Hortonworks Data Platform and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 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 use it for data science activities."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"The Hortonworks solution is so stable. It is working as a production system, without any error, without any downtime. If I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"I like the administration part."
"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Security and workload management need 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."
"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The deployment could be faster. I want more support for the data lake in the next release."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"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."
