Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark.""The initial setup is straightforward.""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.""This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable.""The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""It has a variety of options and support systems."

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.""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.""The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users.""The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly.""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 no need to pay extra for third-party software.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""The initial setup was time-consuming."

"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets.""The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement.""It could be a bit more user-friendly."
