Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The project management is very streamlined."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is 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 straightforward."
"Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."

"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
