We performed a comparison between Hortonworks Data Platform 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."The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"We use it for data science activities."
"It is a scalable platform."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."
"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"I like the administration part."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"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."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"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."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"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."
"The deployment could be faster. I want more support for the data lake in the next release."
