We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and MongoDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"The solution is stable."
"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"The most valuable feature is Kubernetes."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"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 reports are useful for controlling the load of our whole architecture."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of MongoDB."
"Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"It can handle a lot of files quickly."
"Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced."
"The most valuable feature is that you can store unstructured data, which is helpful when you don't know what the best structure should be and you cannot use a relational database because of that."
"We decided to work with MongoDB as its interface is easier to understand and more universal."
"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."
"While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"The one thing that we struggled with predominately was support. Because it was relatively new, support was always a big issue and I think it's still a bit of an ongoing concern with the team currently managing it."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy. For example, creating an index is simple in Oracle. In MongoDB, it's quite challenging to do that. Performance could be better. It's fast and good, but you cannot put every application that you would like to in MongoDB."
"I feel that most people don't know a lot about MongoDB, so maybe they could add some more documentation and tutorials."
"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."
"The solution could have more integration."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"I think it would be good to have more search options such as an index resource. This will provide more options and resources to do advance searches."
"The performance can be improved."
