Its most valuable feature is the ability to quickly run through data, but they should improve product performance

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We are using applications, such as Splunk, Livy, Hadoop, and Spark. We are using all of these applications in Amazon EMR and they're helping us a lot."
"The project management is very streamlined."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity."
More Amazon EMR pros
"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"Very fast for query processing."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"The security is great."

Cons

"The initial setup was time-consuming."
"Amazon EMR can improve by adding some features, such as megastore services and HiveServer2. Additionally, the user interface could be better, similar to what Apache service provides, cross-platform services."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"As people are shifting from legacy solutions to other technologies, Amazon EMR needs to add more features that give more flexibility in managing user data."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
More Amazon EMR cons
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"The initial deployment was a little difficult."
"I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
