Cloudera Data Platform can be improved in several areas. I recently attended their roadmap session. Whatever limitations they have identified involve moving data from on-premises to cloud as a single-pane view and better lineage. They have done some recent acquisitions as well to overcome their product limitations. They are on the right track by doing this analysis themselves, identifying what the weaknesses are, and then using mergers or acquisitions to overcome them. I would like to add that, beyond the platform itself, they should provide more training to systems integrators so that they can have a more ready workforce to use Cloudera Data Platform.
