We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and IBM InfoSphere BigInsights [EOL] 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 solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"The project management is very streamlined."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"The solution is pretty simple to set up."
"InfoSphere Streams was the one core product from the platform in which we were using. We were building a real-time response system and we built it on InfoSphere Streams."
"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."
"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"We don't have much control. If we have multiple users, if they want to scale up, the cost will go and increase and we don't know how we can restrict that price part."
"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."
"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"The UI was not interactive: Responses used to be very slow and hang up at times."
