Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours.""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 tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable.""Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis.""The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent.""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.""The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform.""We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."

"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes.""The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown.""MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short.""The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms.""It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data.""The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines.""The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."

Cons
"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions.""It would be useful if Cloudera had more tools like SQL Engines that offer the traditional relational database. We have to do a lot of work preparing the data outside Cloudera before getting it into the platform.""The dashboard could be improved.""I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster.""The pricing needs to improve.""The price of this solution could be lowered.""The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult.""Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop Cons →

"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial.""We don't get good discounts in Pakistan.""Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally.""The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings.""There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great.""For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback.""It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
