"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"It is a scalable platform."
"We use it for data science activities."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
