T Sarwar - PeerSpot reviewer
Data architect at SentientAI, Karachi
Has enabled efficient big data processing and querying but remains complex to manage and configure
Cloudera Data Platform should use fewer tools and remove the complexity between them. It should make it easier for the end user to change the configuration and understand it better. The UI tool for jobs in Cloudera Data Platform can be improved to provide a proper image of ETL jobs and detailed consolidated graphs to monitor Spark-based Hue jobs.
Yogi V - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Pine Labs
Streamlines secure card data queries and has revealed performance limits that need improvement
The best features Hasura offers are the permissions and the ability to connect to the database seamlessly when we use GraphQL, which Hasura handles exceptionally well. These features impact my day-to-day work positively, as they are tremendously helpful at the application level architecture design. However, the disadvantage revolves around performance. You need to upgrade to the Enterprise version to achieve better performance and ensure proper memory is assigned in your hosting container for optimal speed as required. Hasura impacts our organization positively by being extremely useful. When we create multiple actions and cache them with Hasura, the caching has proven to be more than helpful. Furthermore, integrating OpenTelemetry into our Node application with Hasura has the added benefit of tracking Hasura calls directly, which helps us monitor our performance effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudera Data Platform is a perfect tool to manage such vast amounts of big data, store it properly, query it, and move it from one end to another."
"Integration with other tools works well for us and we successfully scaled the solution after two to three years without any issues."
"Hadoop/Cloudera is still much cheaper than Oracle's RDBM system, if you want to handle a huge amount of data and make complex analytics."
"Now, using this solution, it is much cheaper to have all of the data available for searching, not in real-time, but whenever there is a pending request."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Cloudera Data Platform has impacted my organization positively by providing cost-saving benefits, which is the North Star because of which we have shifted to it."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"Open-source Big community"
"Earlier, we took around maybe two days to create some APIs and set up DB and other things; in Hasura we can create tables and relationships and APIs in the end, and DB creation, configuration, and deletion of rows are very easy, so where two days were taken, now we can do it in half to one day at max, and in development effort, very much time is saved and the execution is fast."
"Hasura positively impacted our organization through useful access control, allowing us to directly obtain data without extra layers of access control processes, which increased efficiency and speed."
"Hasura greatly reduced the time to deliver and also definitely increased the productivity as a result."
"Hasura offers fast prototyping, allowing me to have an instance and an API set up with Docker Compose in five minutes."
"Hasura offers excellent features including role-based filtering, which eliminates the N+1 problem, making it easy to maintain schemas and ensuring fast retrieval and fast mutations."
"Since I'm a front-end developer with limited knowledge in the back end, I can easily get the queries directly from the database, making it a win-win for both the team and time."
"Hasura's best feature is that it provides an API gateway, and it also provides remote schemas and monitoring, which are the best methods they are offering."
"I have seen a return on investment with Hasura, as the time saved is significant at 70% less time dealing with database queries and REST APIs for development, which saved a lot of people's time."
 

Cons

"Initially, we went with Cloudera due to it being a popular choice in the market, etc, then realized it was bad choice."
"Customer Service: It's fairly low customer service. Technical Support: It's fairly low technical support."
"I have not seen enough innovation in Cloudera Data Platform, particularly in support for machine learning."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"There have been some governance initiatives, but they are far from production ready."
"Since Cloudera acquired HDP, it's been bundled with CBH and HDP. However, the biggest challenge is cloud storage integration with Azure, GCP, and AWS."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases (Oracle/Teradata, etc.), which would save a lot of money for the company."
"The learning curve for Hasura is not straightforward, so it takes time to learn."
"Regarding needed improvements, the complex business logic, nested joins, and over-fetching need to be addressed."
"Hasura could improve by allowing us to build complex queries within it instead of depending on source databases, which might affect response speed."
"One area where Hasura can improve is handling complex business logic, and for observability and debugging, improvement is needed."
"The graphical user interface, the web interface that is offered is particularly very slow if you have a lot of endpoints configured."
"Additionally, if you are using the free tier version, it tends to be slow."
"My advice for others considering Hasura is that sometimes it may not support capturing remote schemas effectively; for example, if I change something in CockroachDB, it sometimes fails to capture the change until one or two days later."
"Hasura can be improved in a way such that the setup process could be improved, and the loggings and Hasura logs could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Currently, we are using the product in a sandbox environment, and there is no licensing. We might choose a licensing option once we get the results."
"It is priced well and it is affordable"
