We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and IBM Analytics Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, Cloudera, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Hadoop."The initial setup is straightforward."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"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 pretty straightforward."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"It allows users to access the data through a web interface."
"The best part was that we could make minor changes in the way we were bifurcating the data, even at a very small scale. The accuracy of conversion was also very high."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit."
"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"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."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"Amazon EMR can improve by adding some features, such as megastore services and HiveServer2. Additionally, the user interface could be better, similar to what Apache service provides, cross-platform services."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"One area for improvement would be the initial setup stage, which took longer than expected."
