Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"The product as a whole is good."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"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."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"Easy to operate and use."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."
"We are satisfied with the technical support, we have no issues."
"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."
"It could be faster and more user-friendly."
"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 procedure for operations could be simplified."
"Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"They should focus on upgrading their technical capabilities in the market."
"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."
"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."
"We have not been able to use deduplication."
"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."
"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."
"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."
