Distributed computing improves data processing while upgrade complexity needs addressing
There are challenges with upgrading or updating various services like Spark, Impala, and Hive on on-premise and bare metal solutions. We aim to address these issues with a Kubernetes-based platform that will simplify the task of upgrading services. We also wish to implement lakehouse capabilities with Iceberg or Delta Lake frameworks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable platform."
"The Hortonworks solution is so stable. It is working as a production system, without any error, without any downtime. If I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Integration with other tools works well for us and we successfully scaled the solution after two to three years without any issues."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
 

Cons

"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"For on-premise use, I would not recommend Cloudera Data Platform as it is expensive and complicated to upgrade."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University, makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
 

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"
"The pricing is moderate, falling in the middle range—not excessively low nor overly expensive."
"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
