We performed a comparison between HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric and Spark SQL 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."HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."
"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I like the administration part."
"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."
"Certain data sets that are very large are very difficult to process with Pandas and Python libraries. Spark SQL has helped us a lot with that."
"The speed of getting data."
"Overall the solution is excellent."
"One of Spark SQL's most beautiful features is running parallel queries to go through enormous data."
"I find the Thrift connection valuable."
"Offers a variety of methods to design queries and incorporates the regular SQL syntax within tasks."
"Spark SQL's efficiency in managing distributed data and its simplicity in expressing complex operations make it an essential part of our data pipeline."
"This solution is useful to leverage within a distributed ecosystem."
"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."
"It would be useful if Spark SQL integrated with some data visualization tools."
"The solution needs to include graphing capabilities. Including financial charts would help improve everything overall."
"In the next update, we'd like to see better performance for small points of data. It is possible but there are better tools that are faster and cheaper."
"In the next release, maybe the visualization of some command-line features could be added."
"In terms of improvement, the only thing that could be enhanced is the stability aspect of Spark SQL."
"This solution could be improved by adding monitoring and integration for the EMR."
"I've experienced some incompatibilities when using the Delta Lake format."
"Anything to improve the GUI would be helpful."
