Reliable performance maintained but requires ongoing management and support
Hadoop was used for years, but there were problems since the people who originally set it up left the firm. The group that owned it later didn't have the technical resources to properly maintain it. Although there was nothing wrong with Hadoop itself, issues arose without proper management and upgrades.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With the increase in data size for the business, this horizontal scalable appliance has answered every business question in terms of storage and processing."
"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."
"The performance is pretty good."
"Hadoop can store any kind of data—structured, unstructured, and semi-structured—and presents it using the relational model through Hive."
"Hadoop is extensible — it's elastic."
"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."
"Apache Hadoop can manage large amounts and volumes of data with relative ease, which is a feature that is beneficial."
"Apache Hadoop is crucial in projects that save and retrieve data daily. Its valuable features are scalability and stability. It is easy to integrate with the existing infrastructure."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
 

Cons

"It's good for what is meant to do, a lot of big data, but it's not as good for low latency applications."
"The integration with Apache Hadoop with lots of different techniques within your business can be a challenge."
"The problem with Apache Hadoop arose when the guys that originally set it up left the firm, and the group that later owned it didn't have enough technical resources to properly maintain 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 upgrade path should be improved because it is not as easy as it should be."
"We would like to have more dynamics in merging this machine data with other internal data to make more meaning out of it."
"Hadoop's security could be better."
"Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's reasonable, but there's room for improvement in cost-effectiveness."
"This is a low cost and powerful solution."
"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."
"The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
"We just use the free version."
"The product is open-source, but some associated licensing fees depend on the subscription level."
"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 solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
