"The product as a whole is good."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"The most valuable feature is Kubernetes."
"We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."
"The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The Hortonworks solution is so stable. It is working as a production system, without any error, without any downtime. If I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"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."
"It is a scalable platform."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"Easy to operate and use."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"We are satisfied with the technical support, we have no issues."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."
"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."
"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"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."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"It could be faster and more user-friendly."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there is a lot of things that need to improve."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."
"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."
"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."
"We have not been able to use deduplication."
"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."
"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."
