Devindra Weerasooriya - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Architect at Devtech
Provides a consistent framework for building data integration and access solutions with reliable performance
The in-memory computation feature is certainly helpful for my processing tasks. It is helpful because while using structures that could be held in memory rather than stored during the period of computation, I go for the in-memory option, though there are limitations related to holding it in memory that need to be addressed, but I have a preference for in-memory computation. The solution is beneficial in that it provides a base-level long-held understanding of the framework that is not variant day by day, which is very helpful in my prototyping activity as an architect trying to assess Apache Spark, Great Expectations, and Vault-based solutions versus those proposed by clients like TIBCO or Informatica.

A scalable and easy to setup solution
We use the solution to create microservices.  The tool needs to improve its messaging.  I don't have much more data or experience with stability.  The solution is scalable.  The tool's setup is easy.  I would rate the product a nine out of ten. It is very important to know Java, and issues…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is its speed and efficiency. It's much faster than other tools and excels in parallel data processing. Unlike tools like Python or JavaScript, which may struggle with parallel processing, it allows us to handle large volumes of data with more power easily."
"We have 1000x improvement in performance over other techniques."
"The features we find most valuable are the machine learning, data learning, and Spark Analytics."
"After using Spark, we were able to accomplish this task within hours."
"The main feature that we find valuable is that it is very fast."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Spark is its flexibility."
"With Hadoop-related technologies, we can distribute the workload with multiple commodity hardware."
"The product is useful for analytics."
"A great feature is the lightweight runtime."
"Provides a lightweight runtime."
"We use the solution to create microservices."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"We are building our own queries on Spark, and it can be improved in terms of query handling."
"Include more machine learning algorithms and the ability to handle streaming of data versus micro batch processing."
"It needs a new interface and a better way to get some data. In terms of writing our scripts, some processes could be faster."
"It requires overcoming a significant learning curve due to its robust and feature-rich nature."
"It is like going back to the '80s for the complicated coding that is required to write efficient programs."
"The Spark solution could improve in scheduling tasks and managing dependencies."
"At times when users do not know how to use Spark and request a lot of resources, then the underlying JVMs can crash, which is a big sense of worry."
"Like I said scalability is still an issue, also stability."
"Its performance speed could be improved while working on the browser."
"The most difficult part is deployment of the microservers in the Kubernetes environment and building the mechanisms for automated testing."
"The tool needs to improve its messaging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apache Spark is an expensive solution."
"We are using the free version of the solution."
"Considering the product version used in my company, I feel that the tool is not costly since the product is available for free."
"Apache Spark is an open-source solution, and there is no cost involved in deploying the solution on-premises."
"Apache Spark is open-source. You have to pay only when you use any bundled product, such as Cloudera."
"The product is expensive, considering the setup."
"The solution is affordable and there are no additional licensing costs."
"The tool is an open-source product. If you're using the open-source Apache Spark, no fees are involved at any time. Charges only come into play when using it with other services like Databricks."

Questions from the Community

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Apache Spark?
Apache Spark is open-source, so it doesn't incur any charges.
What needs improvement with Apache Spark?
I find that there really lacks the technical depth to do any recommendations for future updates of Apache Spark. I used it for two years for our prototype work and testing things, but because I had...
What is your primary use case for Apache Spark?
I attempted to use Apache Spark in one of our customer projects, but after the initial test, our customer moved to another technology and another database system. I do not have any final remarks on...
Which is better - Spring Boot or Eclipse MicroProfile?
Springboot is a Java-based solution that is very popular and easy to use. You can use it to build applications quickly and confidently. Springboot has a very large, helpful learning community, whic...
