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.

Data and BI Architect Lead at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Has an adaptive approach, a friendly UI, and good integration capabilities
The Profisee user interface has positively impacted our data management. As a data architect and enterprise developer, I have seen that it is convenient for the data storage team to complete their work. The interface is visually clear and easy to understand, streamlining the entire process. Profisee's scalability and integration capabilities with other systems are highly effective, particularly within an Azure-centric environment. Its seamless integration with Azure services like Purview enables comprehensive data lifecycle management, including data lineage and management. Implementing Profisee has potentially made our time to market for new products and services more efficient. Qualifying master data and making it available downstream for data consumption seems smoother now. As a bank, our response to data availability might differ from other industries like advertising. Overall, I see positive impacts from using Profisee. I would recommend Profisee to others, but it depends on various factors such as how well it fits with their business domain, cost considerations, and resource availability. If they have centralized their data in Azure, Profisee is a no-brainer for data management. Overall, I would rate Profisee as an eight out of ten.

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

Pros

"Cloudera Data Platform has significantly improved our data management."
"Its ability to scale out seamlessly with little to no effort is very valuable to us."
"It is one of the better technology in terms of Hadoop."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"The Hortonworks solution is very stable, it works as a production system without any error and without any downtime and if I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"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."
"Hortonworks is the best, comparing all three flavors."
"The client is doing really well; in fact, they've been published in several IT magazines for their efforts, and also for their data cleansing efforts and their data stewardship."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"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."
"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."

Cons

"That said, there’s still room for improvement in integration speed and UI responsiveness, especially when managing large clusters or hybrid deployments."

"It needs to be quicker and to have the ability to automate deployment on multiple nodes."

"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
