Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Customer service and support were able to fix whatever the issue was."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"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."
"The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"We use it for data science activities."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"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."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"It would be useful if Cloudera had more tools like SQL Engines that offer the traditional relational database. We have to do a lot of work preparing the data outside Cloudera before getting it into the platform."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
