Amazon EMR vs Infobright DB comparison

"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."

"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."

"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."

"It has a variety of options and support systems."

"Amazon EMR has multiple connectors that can connect to various data sources."

"Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."

"There is room for improvement in pricing."

"There is room for improvement with respect to retries, handling the volume of data on S3 buckets, cluster provisioning, scaling, termination, security, and integration between services like S3, Glue, Lake Formation, and DynamoDB."

"Spark jobs take longer on Amazon EMR compared to previous experiences."

"The initial setup was time-consuming."

"The solution can become expensive if you are not careful."

"The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit."

"The problem for us is it starts very slow."

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

"There is a small fee for the EMR system, but major cost components are the underlying infrastructure resources which we actually use."

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten. It can be expensive since it's a managed service, and if you are not careful, you can run into unexpected charges. You can make a mistake that costs you tens of thousands of dollars. That's happened to us twice, so I'm sensitive to it. We're still trying to work on that. Our smallest client probably spends a hundred thousand dollars yearly on licensing, while our largest is well over a million."

"The cost of Amazon EMR is very high."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"Amazon EMR's price is reasonable."

"Amazon EMR is not very expensive."

"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."

"You don't need to pay for licensing on a yearly or monthly basis, you only pay for what you use, in terms of underlying instances."

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
