Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Cloud Data Warehouse."The project management is very streamlined."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is pretty simple to set up."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"It allows users to access the data through a web interface."
"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger."
"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"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."
"Modules and strategies should be better handled and notified early in advance."
"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."
"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."
"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."
"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."
