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.

Improved workflow collaboration and data flexibility enhance team efficiency, but performance and logout issues require attention
Regarding improvements or enhancements in TIBCO EBX, when it comes to 5.8 to 5.9, there was a really good feature added, which is the hyperlink. When you click on a table, you navigate to deeper tables. If there is a table with ten fields, those ten fields are taken from a second table and interrelated to a third table, you can keep clicking on each field and go deeper and deeper. To come each level above, there is a hyperlink created on the top. You just need to click on the hyperlink and keep navigating back, similar to certain websites. However, there were some drawbacks I noticed with the latest version 6, particularly in terms of performance, where in a few cases, the performance was impacted, necessitating work to get things sorted. Additionally, the logout from the application happened randomly or sometimes it wasn't logging out, which is a compliance issue since users expect to log out after a certain time. Version 6 introduced a strong filtration logic. All EBX versions have a separate section for filters that offer text search and advanced search options. In EBX 6, they enhanced the search feature deeply, including conjunctions and, or, else, allowing you to create your own logic for how you need the filter to work. They also introduced a top-level search feature, where you enter some text, and it searches the entire table. With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues. We dropped the plan to switch to EBX 6 due to other technical limitations on our side. Those were a few pending items we had raised to them, and they were working on resolving them. From a usage point of view, those were the main concerns, but they introduced a good idea about the side panel. The pagination concept was introduced to navigate among different domains, and in the left panel, you have search capabilities and pagination functionality.

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."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable feature because you can leverage any Hadoop component and take full advantage of its open source capabilities."
"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 scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"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."
"Its ability to scale out seamlessly with little to no effort is very valuable to us."
"It has helped our organisation cater to clients who are using Big Data for data storage and analysis combined with our security product."
"EBX is cost-effective as it is a web-based application."
"The customizable data model feature of TIBCO EBX has helped in addressing the complex data requirements of our organization, as its customizability is not only limited to the UI functionality, but also provides extended functionality to use external APIs within the code on the data model level and workflow model level."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"The data quality is very good."
"We decided to switch to TIBCO EBX because we can organize the data, and it helps manage this data for an accurate and consistent view of the physical business data."
"It is easy to code, especially because it is coded in Java."
"The product is highly customizable."
"The match and merge features are very good."
 

Cons

"Initially, we went with Cloudera due to it being a popular choice in the market, etc, then realized it was bad choice."
"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."
"A major drawback that I see with Cloudera Data Platform is that it tends to be one or two years behind the latest open-source implementation of the Apache toolkits such as Spark, Hive, and everything else, which relates to the guardrails of following compliance as the main driving factor, so that is something that could be done better on Cloudera Data Platform's side."
"Cloudera Data Platform can be improved by addressing the feasibility of using it in the cloud; there are some complexities around the components used in cloud by Cloudera Data Platform that are not really convenient."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"The only issue that I had was when I tried to reinstall the software on every node."
"Customer Service: It's fairly low customer service. Technical Support: It's fairly low technical support."
"There have been some governance initiatives, but they are far from production ready."
"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."
"With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"Some optimization on the database and how it is handled would be beneficial."
"Marketing could be improved, as EBX wasn't well-presented in Turkey."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
 

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."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
