Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a file system for data collection. There are nodes in this cluster that contain all the information, directories, and other files. The nodes are based on the MySQL database.""The most valuable features are the ability to process the machine data at a high speed, and to add structure to our data so that we can generate relevant analytics.""The best thing about this solution is that it is very powerful and very cheap.""Two valuable features are its scalability and parallel processing. There are jobs that cannot be done unless you have massively parallel processing.""The solution is easy to expand. We haven't seen any issues with it in that sense. We've added 10 servers, and we've added two nodes. We've been expanding since we started using it since we started out so small. Companies that need to scale shouldn't have a problem doing so.""What I like about Apache Hadoop is that it's for big data, in particular big data analysis, and it's the easier solution. I like the data processing feature for AI/ML use cases the most because some solutions allow me to collect data from relational databases, while Hadoop provides me with more options for newer technologies.""What comes with the standard setup is what we mostly use, but Ambari is the most important.""The most important feature is its ability to handle large volumes. Some of our customers have really large volumes, and it is capable of handling their data in terms of the core volume and daily incremental volume. So, its processing power and speed are most valuable."

"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities""The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable.""We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell.""It works very well with large database queries.""The product's reliability is the most valuable feature.""RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase.""The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network.""The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."

Cons
"It would be helpful to have more information on how to best apply this solution to smaller organizations, with less data, and grow the data lake.""Real-time data processing is weak. This solution is very difficult to run and implement.""The solution is not easy to use. The solution should be easy to use and suitable for almost any case connected with the use of big data or working with large amounts of data.""From the Apache perspective or the open-source community, they need to add more capabilities to make life easier from a configuration and deployment perspective.""The key shortcoming is its inability to handle queries when there is insufficient memory. This limitation can be bypassed by processing the data in chunks.""The load optimization capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required.""The stability of the solution needs improvement.""The solution needs a better tutorial. There are only documents available currently. There's a lot of YouTube videos available. However, in terms of learning, we didn't have great success trying to learn that way. There needs to be better self-paced learning."

More Apache Hadoop Cons →

"The installation is difficult and should be made easier.""We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL.""VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand.""There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product.""Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases.""I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement.""Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster.""Maintenance is time-consuming."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
  • "​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
  • "This is a low cost and powerful solution."
  • "The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
  • "If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
  • "We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."
  • "The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
  • "We just use the free version."
  • More Apache Hadoop Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:It's primarily open source. You can handle huge data volumes and create your own views, workflows, and tables. I can also use it for real-time data streaming.
    Top Answer:Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support. So, you have to have deeper knowledge. You need to improvise based on that.
    Top Answer:IBM MQ has a great reputation behind it, and this solution is very robust with great stability. It is easy to use, simple to configure and integrates well with our enterprise ecosystem and protocols… more »
    Top Answer:It’s an open-source solution. There are no expenses for using it.

    Overview
    The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

    VMware Tanzu is a robust platform tailored for data warehousing, complex analytics, BI applications, and predictive analytics. It excels in scalability, performance, and parallel processing, enhancing data handling efficiency. Users report significant productivity improvements and streamlined operations, making it ideal for comprehensive data solutions.
