We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and IBM Spectrum Computing 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."Very good end-to-end security features."
"The most valuable feature is Impala, the querying engine, which is very fast."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"The features I find most valuable is that the solution is that it is easy to install and to work with. It starts with the installation and from there on the management is very simple and centralized."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."
"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."
"Easy to operate and use."
"We are satisfied with the technical support, we have no issues."
"The solution does not support multiple languages very well and this means users need to create work-arounds to implement some solutions."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"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."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."
"We have not been able to use deduplication."
"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."
"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."
"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."
"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."
