We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and QueryIO based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, Cloudera, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Hadoop."In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"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 initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It allows users to access the data through a web interface."
"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."
"Anyone who has even a little bit of knowledge of the solution can begin to create things. You don't have to be technical to use the solution."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"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."
"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit."
"Modules and strategies should be better handled and notified early in advance."
"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."
"There needs to be some simplification of the user interface."
