We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is scalable."
"Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"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 main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there are a lot of things that need to improve. I believe they are working on that."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"Very good end-to-end security features."
"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"Amazon EMR can improve by adding some features, such as megastore services and HiveServer2. Additionally, the user interface could be better, similar to what Apache service provides, cross-platform services."
"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"As people are shifting from legacy solutions to other technologies, Amazon EMR needs to add more features that give more flexibility in managing user data."
"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."
"The pricing needs to improve."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties."
