We performed a comparison between Cloudera DataFlow and Hortonworks Data Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Amazon, Confluent and others in Streaming Analytics."This solution is very scalable and robust."
"DataFlow's performance is okay."
"The initial setup was not so difficult"
"The Hortonworks solution is so stable. It is working as a production system, without any error, without any downtime. If I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"Now, using this solution, it is much cheaper to have all of the data available for searching, not in real-time, but whenever there is a pending request."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"We use it for data science activities."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"Although their workflow is pretty neat, it still requires a lot of transformation coding; especially when it comes to Python and other demanding programming languages."
"It's an outdated legacy product that doesn't meet the needs of modern data analysts and scientists."
"It is not easy to use the R language. Though I don't know if it's possible, I believe it is possible, but it is not the best language for machine learning."
"Since Cloudera acquired HDP, it's been bundled with CBH and HDP. However, the biggest challenge is cloud storage integration with Azure, GCP, and AWS."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
