"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis.""Customer service and support were able to fix whatever the issue was.""The most valuable feature is Impala, the querying engine, which is very fast.""We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures.""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.""I don't see any performance issues.""It is helpful to gather and process data.""The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."

"The rules can show us if there are missing items, like titles, and we can add them in to ensure everything is filled and makes sense and there are no missing details.""MarkLogic's greatest asset is its strong engineering foundation.

More MarkLogic Pros →

Cons
"The solution is limited to a linear performance.""Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product.""Cassandra can improve by adding more built-in tools. For example, if you want to do some maintenance activities in the cluster, we have to depend on third-party tools. Having these tools build-in would be e benefit.""There were challenges with the query language and the development interface. The query language, in particular, could be improved for better optimization. These challenges were encountered while using the Java SDK.""Maybe they can improve their performance in data fetching from a high volume of data sets.""Cassandra could be more user-friendly like MongoDB.""The initial setup of Cassandra can be difficult in the configuration. There might be a need to have assistance. The implementation process can six months for connecting to certain databases.""It can be difficult to analyze what's going on inside of the database relative to other databases. It can also be difficult to troubleshoot sometimes."

More Cassandra Cons →

"The pricing needs to improve.""It could be faster and more user-friendly.""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.""I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster.""The dashboard could be improved.""The procedure for operations could be simplified.""Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions.""There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop Cons →

"The spreadsheet capabilities could be improved.""One of the most common requests is to improve the user interface of the database. While it is primarily a database, there are other databases available that offer more user-friendly interfaces. The UI is good for developers but not for regular users. More visuals would be beneficial."
