Hortonworks Data Platform Pricing

I haven't done a price analysis specifically for HDP. However, when it was first introduced as Hadoop 2.0, there were a few use cases where the price was quite high.

It was particularly expensive for Cloudera and Hortonworks Data Platform. Both options were quite resource-intensive.

So, seven, or even nine or ten years ago, it was quite expensive.

The solution used to have a free tier. They have since taken that away, which is disappointing.

Currently, we are using the product in a sandbox environment, and there is no licensing. We might choose a licensing option once we get the results.

I think it is priced well and it is affordable. Hadoop, which we use with the solution, is open-source. That part is free. We pay only for whatever wrappers Cloudera provides on top of the open-source product, Hadoop. I do not know about the actual pricing in total. The whole point of Hadoop is that it is open-source and they have created their own cluster. Cloudera is just the vendor that they are using.  

My guess is Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it.

Hadoop/Cloudera is still much cheaper than Oracle's RDBM system, if you want to handle a huge amount of data and make complex analytics. 

It's 40,000€ for 10 Hadoop nodes vs 1.7 million Euros  for an Oracle server with 40 cores.

The solution is comprehensible but it also depends on the customers and the customer's stability requirements. I know that Hortonworks is stable, but sometimes when you are talking with the customers, they wonder if Hortonworks is free, how can it be enterprise. But I explain that Hortonworks is open-source.

Completely use the community edition along with other features that can be implemented on top.

Hortonworks is the best, comparing all three flavors. If all is well, we might use open source alone in the next three years; others you can't due to lock-in...

If possible, I would suggest paying for the professional services which would give you on-site engineers to help deploy the cluster.

Licensing is on a per node basis and it encourages people to scale vertically rather than horizontally yet the whole purpose of the tools they sell is to scale horizontally. I do like that everything is also available freely for those that do not require support.

The use of Hortonworks is free there’s no license but if you want there’s a support. It’s up to you to see if you need it (certainly) and to maybe negotiate it.
