We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 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."CDH has a wide variety of proprietary tools that we use, like Impala. So from that perspective, it's quite useful as opposed to something open-source. We get a lot of value from Cloudera's proprietary tools."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"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."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there are a lot of things that need to improve. I believe they are working on that."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."
"My customers find the product cheaper compared to other solutions. The previous solution that we used did not have unified analytics like the runtime or the analog."
"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I like the administration part."
"The Cloudera training has deteriorated significantly."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"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."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The governance aspect of the solution should be improved."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"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."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"The deployment could be faster. I want more support for the data lake in the next release."
