"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."
"The project management is very streamlined."
"The best thing about the product is that the end-user can build the reports by themselves without really knowing anything about databases."
"Because Big Data Appliance allows me to have a single source of truth, it means I have clean data that can be monetized and leveraged to gain more insights with real-time reports from the dashboard."
"This is a comprehensive solution that is easy to deploy."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."

"Modules and strategies should be better handled and notified early in advance."
"The initial setup was time-consuming."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, Big Data Appliance could be improved with more innovation in the AI and machine-learning parts instead of relying on Cloudera."
"It seems like the deployment of repositories has become more difficult in later versions of the product rather than easier."
"The product should be simplified for the average user."
