Featured Reviews

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

"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"From a product standpoint, their Ambari UI is incredibly valuable for cluster monitoring."
"Cloudera Data Platform has impacted my organization positively in many ways, especially for banking customers, by providing a robust capability to handle structured and unstructured data via features like PDF extraction and speech-to-text conversion for 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."
"We use it for data science activities."
"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."
"My main use case for Cloudera Data Platform is to support a multi-source system with different data types, handling semi-structured, structured, and unstructured data to support those kinds of workloads."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"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."
"Hasura greatly reduced the time to deliver and also definitely increased the productivity as a result."
"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."
"Hasura has positively impacted my organization because for this project, whatever project I'm working on where previously we were using the normal DB2 which was a little complicated to use, Hasura made it very easy to understand the data flowing and data integration."
"In my opinion, the best features Hasura offers are row-level access policies on top of the database, so I don't have to create my own APIs, allowing me to quickly spin up ideas easily."
"We use Hasura because it's a quick way to prototype, and the GraphQL API is a plus that we really weren't accustomed to using, but that works well for us given our business logic."
"My advice to others looking into using Hasura is to directly use it since it is a very good application with high performance and scalability."
"Hasura impacts our organization positively by being extremely useful."
 

Cons

"I have not seen enough innovation in Cloudera Data Platform, particularly in support for machine learning."
"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."
"We face downtime and reliability issues many times a week with Cloudera Data Platform because it is a very complex system and all configurations are managed by the end user."
"Hortonworks is at end of life; they are not adding new things to this, so everything will be Cloudera now."
"Hadoop, does not provide improved performance, compared to traditional RDBMS, unless processing batches in the TB-PB range, or if the Hadoop platform has significantly more resources available."
"It requires too much coding work; we're not good Java and Python developers."
"The initial setup may take several hours or days, depending on the challenges faced during installation. It's not always a smooth process due to potential complexities."
"Hasura can be improved through the subscription part, as the web socket is a little bit slow compared to other web sockets in the market."
"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 could improve by allowing us to build complex queries within it instead of depending on source databases, which might affect response speed."
"Hasura can be improved in a way such that the setup process could be improved, and the loggings and Hasura logs could be improved."
"Regarding Hasura's AI capabilities, I think the governance and security for the credentials we store for Hasura login are at risk, so that data can be stolen easily."
"I'm a bit worried about the LTS that Hasura has, the Community version, until January 2027, which is a very big pain point for us and makes us rethink the project's architecture a bit."
"Regarding needed improvements, the complex business logic, nested joins, and over-fetching need to be addressed."
"I believe that I chose a seven out of ten because I think the UI can be made better and the navigation could have been better."
 

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."
