"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps.""Creates the ability to visualize outputs.""As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."

Cons
"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.""The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case.""Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on.""There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one.""The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult.""Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved.""This is a very expensive solution.""The solution does not support multiple languages very well and this means users need to create work-arounds to implement some solutions."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop Cons →

"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution.""So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."

    Overview
    Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is the world's most complete, tested, and popular distribution of Apache Hadoop and related projects. CDH is 100% Apache-licensed open source and is the only Hadoop solution to offer unified batch processing, interactive SQL, and interactive search, and role-based access controls. More enterprises have downloaded CDH than all other such distributions combined.

    Neo4j is the graph database solution allowing the analysis of complex relationships and patterns in data, leading to better decision-making and improved business processes. The graph database offers easy data integration from multiple sources, providing a more comprehensive view. 

    The most valuable aspect of a graph database is its performance and response time, as it does not use the join function and only has nodes and raw data. Overall, Neo4j, as a global first-ranking solution, has helped organizations become more efficient and effective in data analysis and decision-making processes.
