We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Two valuable features are its scalability and parallel processing. There are jobs that cannot be done unless you have massively parallel processing.""Initially, with RDBMS alone, we had a lot of work and few servers running on-premise and on cloud for the PoC and incubation. With the use of Hadoop and ecosystem components and tools, and managing it in Amazon EC2, we have created a Big Data "lab" which helps us to centralize all our work and solutions into a single repository. This has cut down the time in terms of maintenance, development and, especially, data processing challenges.""Apache Hadoop can manage large amounts and volumes of data with relative ease, which is a feature that is beneficial.""Its integration is Hadoop's best feature because that allows us to support different tools in a big data platform.""The most valuable features are powerful tools for ingestion, as data is in multiple systems.""One valuable feature is that we can download data.""I liked that Apache Hadoop was powerful, had a lot of tools, and the fact that it was free and community-developed.""The most valuable feature is the database."

"It's stable and reliable.""The most valuable feature is the ease of uploading data from multiple sources.""The ease of deployment is useful so clients are up and running quickly in comparison to other products."

Cons
"What could be improved in Apache Hadoop is its user-friendliness. It's not that user-friendly, but maybe it's because I'm new to it. Sometimes it feels so tough to use, but it could be because of two aspects: one is my incompetency, for example, I don't know about all the features of Apache Hadoop, or maybe it's because of the limitations of the platform. For example, my team is maintaining the business glossary in Apache Atlas, but if you want to change any settings at the GUI level, an advanced level of coding or programming needs to be done in the back end, so it's not user-friendly.""The solution is very expensive.""The price could be better. I think we would use it more, but the company didn't want to pay for it. Hortonworks doesn't exist anymore, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop.""Real-time data processing is weak. This solution is very difficult to run and implement.""The integration with Apache Hadoop with lots of different techniques within your business can be a challenge.""We would like to have more dynamics in merging this machine data with other internal data to make more meaning out of it.""It could be more user-friendly.""The upgrade path should be improved because it is not as easy as it should be."

"There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved.""From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing.""It is hard for some of our users to set up rules for cleansing and transforming data, so this is something that could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
  • "​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
  • "This is a low cost and powerful solution."
  • "The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
  • "If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
  • "We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."
  • "The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
  • "We just use the free version."

  • "The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Tools like Apache Hadoop are knowledge-intensive in nature. Unlike other tools in the market currently, we cannot understand knowledge-intensive products straight away. To use Apache Hadoop, a person… more »
    Top Answer:It's moderately priced. It's not cheap. I'd rate it 2.5 out of five in terms of affordability.
    Top Answer:Some of our clients are looking for on-premise installations as well. Although we don't have any, some of our prospects are also asking, and we are not sure if that part is easily doable or is as… more »

    Overview
    The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

    SQL-MapReduce is a framework created by Teradata Aster to allow developers to write powerful and highly expressive SQL-MapReduce functions in languages such as Java, C#, Python, C++, and R and push them into the discovery platform for high performance analytics. Analysts can then invoke SQL-MapReduce functions using standard SQL or R through Aster Database, the first discovery platform that allows applications to be fully embedded within the database engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets.
