We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark.""It has a variety of options and support systems.""The project management is very streamlined.""We are using applications, such as Splunk, Livy, Hadoop, and Spark. We are using all of these applications in Amazon EMR and they're helping us a lot.""The solution is scalable.""The solution is pretty simple to set up.""Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions.""The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit.""There is no need to pay extra for third-party software.""The initial setup was time-consuming.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""The problem for us is it starts very slow.""The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly.""There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."

More Amazon EMR Cons →

"There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved.""It is hard for some of our users to set up rules for cleansing and transforming data, so this is something that could be improved.""From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing."

    Overview
    Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR) is a web service that makes it easy to quickly and cost-effectively process vast amounts of data. Amazon EMR simplifies big data processing, providing a managed Hadoop framework that makes it easy, fast, and cost-effective for you to distribute and process vast amounts of your data across dynamically scalable Amazon EC2 instances.

    SQL-MapReduce is a framework created by Teradata Aster to allow developers to write powerful and highly expressive SQL-MapReduce functions in languages such as Java, C#, Python, C++, and R and push them into the discovery platform for high performance analytics. Analysts can then invoke SQL-MapReduce functions using standard SQL or R through Aster Database, the first discovery platform that allows applications to be fully embedded within the database engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets.
