We performed a comparison between Cassandra, Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop, and MarkLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MongoDB, Couchbase, InfluxData and others in NoSQL Databases."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 most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."
"The most valuable features of Cassandra are the NoSQL database, high performance, and zero-copy streaming."
"The technical evaluation is very good."
"We can add almost one million columns to the solution."
"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."
"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."
"The solution's database capabilities are very good."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"Customer service and support were able to fix whatever the issue was."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."
"The product is completely secure."
"Very good end-to-end security features."
"MarkLogic's greatest asset is its strong engineering foundation. It was specifically designed with search capabilities in mind, and the developers placed a great emphasis on ensuring the quality of the indexing and all subsequent layers that were added."
"The rules can show us if there are missing items, like titles, and we can add them in to ensure everything is filled and makes sense and there are no missing details."
"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."
"Interface is not user friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The disc space is lacking. You need to free it up as you are working."
"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."
"The secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."
"Fine-tuning was a bit of a challenge."
"The one thing that we struggled with predominately was support. Because it was relatively new, support was always a big issue and I think it's still a bit of an ongoing concern with the team currently managing it."
"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."
"The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case."
"It could be faster and more user-friendly."
"The pricing needs to improve."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"The spreadsheet capabilities could be improved."
"One of the most common requests is to improve the user interface of the database. While it is primarily a database, there are other databases available that offer more user-friendly interfaces. The UI is good for developers but not for regular users. More visuals would be beneficial."
