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

"The best features Cloudera Data Platform offers are the processing power with Spark and the distributed data storage, HDFS, which helps us handle massive volumes of data."
"Hortonworks has allowed my organization to increase the amount of data that we regularly store from sensor data and weblogs, which in turn gives us a greater scope of data to analyze."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"Cloudera Data Platform proved to be a highly reliable and powerful solution capable of supporting complex enterprise use cases on AWS with strong governance and scalability."
"It's the one and only complete open source big data platform Ambari-managed admin configuration for HDFS, YARN, Hive, HBase, etc."
"The most valuable part of this product is what Cloudera Data Science Workbench can do as a whole for modeling and analysis."
"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."
"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."
"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 reduced backend boilerplate and enabled real-time operational dashboards by automatically exposing database changes through GraphQL subscriptions, allowing our services to focus only on business processing while Hasura handled API generation and live data."
"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."
"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 impacts our organization positively by being extremely useful."
"Hasura greatly reduced the time to deliver and also definitely increased the productivity as a result."
 

Cons

"It requires too much coding work; we're not good Java and Python developers."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"Scalability of Cloudera Data Platform is very good and scalable in public cloud. However, it is not as scalable on on-premises private cloud, which adds considerable cost."
"It needs to be quicker and to have the ability to automate deployment on multiple nodes."
"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."
"There have been some governance initiatives, but they are far from production ready."
"The only issue that I had was when I tried to reinstall the software on every node."
"The graphical user interface, the web interface that is offered is particularly very slow if you have a lot of endpoints configured."
"There is an issue with HTTP transactions since HTTP is a stateless protocol, making it impossible to maintain transactions, which is the only drawback found in the GraphQL queries."
"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."
"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."
"Hasura could improve by allowing us to build complex queries within it instead of depending on source databases, which might affect response speed."
"Additionally, if you are using the free tier version, it tends to be slow."
"The learning curve for Hasura is not straightforward, so it takes time to learn."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is priced well and it is affordable"
"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."
