We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop 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."It allows users to access the data through a web interface."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity."
"One of the valuable features about this solution is that it's managed services, so it's pretty stable, and scalable as much as you wish. It has all the necessary distributions. With some additional work, it's also possible to change to a Spark version with the latest version of EMR. It also has Hudi, so we are leveraging Apache Hudi on EMR for change data capture, so then it comes out-of-the-box in EMR."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"Very good end-to-end security features."
"The solution is stable."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"The most valuable feature is Kubernetes."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"Modules and strategies should be better handled and notified early in advance."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"As people are shifting from legacy solutions to other technologies, Amazon EMR needs to add more features that give more flexibility in managing user data."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there is a lot of things that need to improve."
"The governance aspect of the solution should be improved."
"While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"The Cloudera training has deteriorated significantly."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
