We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I appreciate CDSW's ability to logically segregate environments, such as data, DR, and production, ensuring they don't interfere with each other. The deployment of machine learning is fast and easy to manage. Its API calls are also fast.""The Cloudera Data Science Workbench is customizable and easy to use."

"Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it.""Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization.""The most valuable feature of Dremio is it can sit on top of any other data storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Data Factory, SGFS, or Hive. The memory competition is good. If you are running any kind of materialized view, you'd be running in memory.""Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function.""We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue.""Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."

Cons
"The tool's MLOps is not good. It's pricing also needs to improve.""Running this solution requires a minimum of 12GB to 16GB of RAM."

More Cloudera Data Science Workbench Cons →

"It shows errors sometimes.""I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported.""Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake.""We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily.""Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement.""They have an automated tool for building SQL queries, so you don't need to know SQL. That interface works, but it could be more efficient in terms of the SQL generated from those things. It's going through some growing pains. There is so much value in tools like these for people with no SQL experience. Over time, Dermio will make these capabilities more accessible to users who aren't database people."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Right now the cluster costs approximately $200,000 per month and is based on the volume of data we have."
  • "Dremio is less costly competitively to Snowflake or any other tool."

The most valuable features of Dremio include its ability to sit on top of any data storage, generate refresh reflections and create visuals, manage changes effectively through data lineage and data providence capabilities, use open-source, and address the problem of data transfer when working with large datasets.
