Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The performance is pretty good.""High throughput and low latency. We start with data mashing on Hive and finally use this for KPI visualization.""The solution is easy to expand. We haven't seen any issues with it in that sense. We've added 10 servers, and we've added two nodes. We've been expanding since we started using it since we started out so small. Companies that need to scale shouldn't have a problem doing so.""The tool's stability is good.""Hadoop is designed to be scalable, so I don't think that it has limitations in regards to scalability.""What comes with the standard setup is what we mostly use, but Ambari is the most important.""The scalability of Apache Hadoop is very good.""Initially, with RDBMS alone, we had a lot of work and few servers running on-premise and on cloud for the PoC and incubation. With the use of Hadoop and ecosystem components and tools, and managing it in Amazon EC2, we have created a Big Data "lab" which helps us to centralize all our work and solutions into a single repository. This has cut down the time in terms of maintenance, development and, especially, data processing challenges."

"The tool's most valuable features for us are its combination of formatting, ETL, analytics, and storage capabilities.""The most valuable feature is the ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class."

Cons
"We would like to have more dynamics in merging this machine data with other internal data to make more meaning out of it.""The solution is not easy to use. The solution should be easy to use and suitable for almost any case connected with the use of big data or working with large amounts of data.""From the Apache perspective or the open-source community, they need to add more capabilities to make life easier from a configuration and deployment perspective.""It would be good to have more advanced analytics tools.""In certain cases, the configurations for dealing with data skewness do not make any sense.""The upgrade path should be improved because it is not as easy as it should be.""I think more of the solution needs to be focused around the panel processing and retrieval of data.""The solution is very expensive."

"Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved.""The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
  • "​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
  • "This is a low cost and powerful solution."
  • "The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
  • "If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
  • "We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."
  • "The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
  • "We just use the free version."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:It's primarily open source. You can handle huge data volumes and create your own views, workflows, and tables. I can also use it for real-time data streaming.
    Top Answer:Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support. So, you have to have deeper knowledge. You need to improvise based on that.
    Top Answer:The tool's most valuable features for us are its combination of formatting, ETL, analytics, and storage capabilities.
    Top Answer:The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities.
    Top Answer:I primarily use Kovair Data Lake for data analytics use cases. This involves data cleansing and gaining business intelligence.

    Overview
    The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

    Kovair Data Lake is a central database that comes with SQL server support. This makes it capable of storing data from multiple projects residing in diversified tools used by an organization. Based on organizational needs, the stored data is then segregated by departments or business units. Kovair Data Lake also comes with a very intuitive UI interface for managing and monitoring of the Data Lake.

    Many organizations use enterprise data warehouses to meet both operational and reporting needs. However, apart from offering a storage and management facilities, there are certain limitations that organizations continue to face. These are –

    - Real-time synchronization of data within a centralized data storage

    - Traceability and governance of stored data

    - Low-cost storage infrastructure compared to Big Data or Data Warehouse

    - Handling of low volume but highly diversified data

    - Prescriptive analytics that will aid in taking data-driven decisions and on-time service delivery

      Kovair has been a market leader in the domain of data integration with a marquee of clients from networking, semiconductor, telecom, manufacturing, banking and finance. Over the recent years, it has witnessed a shift in focus for organizations using multiple tools and different teams. While Kovair Omnibus provides the support for features like traceability, cross tool reporting, and task-based workflow that is simply not enough! Customers today are looking for central data store where data coming from different tools used in an organization could be accumulated in its native format.

      Data Lake presents a low-cost alternative to exploding storage and processing costs of traditional warehouses.

      While traditional data warehouses store data in hierarchical format. Data Lake offers a central database repository with a flat architecture for storing the data. This protects the data from unwanted manipulation, enabling businesses to take informed decisions accurately and building a better business-customer relationship.

      Product Highlights:

      - Large Data Repository for Central Administration

      - Tool Extractors with WS/SQL Communication Support

      - Web-based Data Lake Portal
