We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and Hortonworks Data Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable."
"The product is completely secure."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."
"The most valuable feature is Impala, the querying engine, which is very fast."
"Very good end-to-end security features."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"We use it for data science activities."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The Hortonworks solution is so stable. It is working as a production system, without any error, without any downtime. If I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"Since Cloudera acquired HDP, it's been bundled with CBH and HDP. However, the biggest challenge is cloud storage integration with Azure, GCP, and AWS."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
