We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and IBM InfoSphere BigInsights [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, Cloudera, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Hadoop."Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is pretty simple to set up."
"One of the valuable features about this solution is that it's managed services, so it's pretty stable, and scalable as much as you wish. It has all the necessary distributions. With some additional work, it's also possible to change to a Spark version with the latest version of EMR. It also has Hudi, so we are leveraging Apache Hudi on EMR for change data capture, so then it comes out-of-the-box in EMR."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity."
"This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"InfoSphere Streams was the one core product from the platform in which we were using. We were building a real-time response system and we built it on InfoSphere Streams."
"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."
"The initial setup was time-consuming."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"We don't have much control. If we have multiple users, if they want to scale up, the cost will go and increase and we don't know how we can restrict that price part."
"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 product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"The UI was not interactive: Responses used to be very slow and hang up at times."
