Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We selected Apache Hadoop because it is not dependent on third-party vendors.""It is a file system for data collection. There are nodes in this cluster that contain all the information, directories, and other files. The nodes are based on the MySQL database.""I liked that Apache Hadoop was powerful, had a lot of tools, and the fact that it was free and community-developed.""Hadoop is designed to be scalable, so I don't think that it has limitations in regards to scalability.""What I like about Apache Hadoop is that it's for big data, in particular big data analysis, and it's the easier solution. I like the data processing feature for AI/ML use cases the most because some solutions allow me to collect data from relational databases, while Hadoop provides me with more options for newer technologies.""​​Data ingestion: It has rapid speed, if Apache Accumulo is used.""Two valuable features are its scalability and parallel processing. There are jobs that cannot be done unless you have massively parallel processing.""The performance is pretty good."

"A very good integration feature that restricts access to unauthorized people.""With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it.""The solution integrates well with Power BI.""I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW.""Self-patching and runs machine-learning across its logs all the time""It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues.""I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system.""The performance and scalability are awesome."

Cons
"The key shortcoming is its inability to handle queries when there is insufficient memory. This limitation can be bypassed by processing the data in chunks.""The solution could use a better user interface. It needs a more effective GUI in order to create a better user environment.""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.""The integration with Apache Hadoop with lots of different techniques within your business can be a challenge.""The solution needs a better tutorial. There are only documents available currently. There's a lot of YouTube videos available. However, in terms of learning, we didn't have great success trying to learn that way. There needs to be better self-paced learning.""Real-time data processing is weak. This solution is very difficult to run and implement.""In the next release, I would like to see Hive more responsive for smaller queries and to reduce the latency."

More Apache Hadoop Cons →

"It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment.""My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle.""Ease of connectivity could be improved.""One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace.""A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away.""The solution lacks visibility options.""They should make the solution more user-friendly.""Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."

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."
  • More Apache Hadoop Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
  • "ROI is high."
  • "You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
  • "Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
  • "The solution's cost is reasonable."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
  • "The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
  • "The price depends on the configuration we choose."

    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.

    Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is the world’s first and only autonomous database optimized for analytic workloads, including data marts, data warehouses, data lakes, and data lakehouses. With Autonomous Data Warehouse, data scientists, business analysts, and nonexperts can rapidly, easily, and cost-effectively discover business insights using data of any size and type. Built for the cloud and optimized using Oracle Exadata, Autonomous Data Warehouse benefits from faster performance and, according to an IDC report (PDF), lowers operational costs by an average of 63%.


    Autonomous Database provides the foundation for a data lakehouse—a modern, open architecture that enables you to store, analyze, and understand all your data. The data lakehouse combines the power and richness of data warehouses with the breadth, flexibility, and low cost of popular open source data lake technologies. Access your data lakehouse through Autonomous Database using the world's most powerful and open SQL processing engine.
