We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and Hortonworks Data Platform 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."I don't see any performance issues."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"Customer service and support were able to fix whatever the issue was."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"It is a scalable platform."
"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."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Now, using this solution, it is much cheaper to have all of the data available for searching, not in real-time, but whenever there is a pending request."
"We use it for data science activities."
"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 price of this solution could be lowered."
"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."
"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."
"The governance aspect of the solution should be improved."
"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."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"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."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
