"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues.""The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on.""We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures.""The most valuable feature is Kubernetes.""The product is completely secure.""With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility.""The data science aspect of the solution is valuable.""We also really like the Cloudera community.

"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform.""I like the administration part.""My customers find the product cheaper compared to other solutions.

Cons
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult.""We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there is a lot of things that need to improve.""The governance aspect of the solution should be improved.""I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster.""The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS.""The pricing needs to improve.""The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case.""It could be faster and more user-friendly."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop Cons →

"The product is not user-friendly.""HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools.""Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful.""Upgrading Ezmeral to a new version is a pain. They're trying to make the solution more container-friendly, so I think they're going in the right direction. The only problem we've had in the past was the upgrades. The process isn't smooth due to how the Red Hat operating system upgrades currently work.""The deployment could be faster. I want more support for the data lake in the next release."
