Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity.""The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions.""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.""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 project management is very streamlined.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""The solution is pretty simple to set up.""The solution is scalable."

Cons
"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.""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 room for improvement in pricing.""The problem for us is it starts very slow.""The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit.""There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
