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.
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"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."
"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."
"We use it for data science activities."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"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."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I like the administration part."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"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."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"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."
"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."
