We performed a comparison between Cassandra and Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can add almost one million columns to the solution."
"The solution's database capabilities are very good."
"I am satisfied with the performance."
"The technical evaluation is very good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."
"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."
"The time series data was one of the best features along with auto publishing."
"Cassandra has some features that are more useful for specific use cases where you have time series where you have huge amounts of writes. That should be quick, but not specifically the reads. We needed to have quicker reads and writes and this is why we are using Cassandra right now."
"The product is completely secure."
"Very good end-to-end security features."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"Cassandra can improve by adding more built-in tools. For example, if you want to do some maintenance activities in the cluster, we have to depend on third-party tools. Having these tools build-in would be e benefit."
"The initial setup of Cassandra can be difficult in the configuration. There might be a need to have assistance. The implementation process can six months for connecting to certain databases."
"It can be difficult to analyze what's going on inside of the database relative to other databases. It can also be difficult to troubleshoot sometimes."
"Maybe they can improve their performance in data fetching from a high volume of data sets."
"There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly."
"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."
"Interface is not user friendly."
"The solution is not easy to use because it is a big database and you have to learn the interface. This is the case though in most of these solutions."
"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
