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.

"Open-source Big community"
"In my experience, the best features Cloudera Data Platform offers are that all the services provided are excellent."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"Hortonworks is 100% Open Source."
"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."
"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."
"We use it for data science activities."
"Customer service is great."
"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."
"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"Profisee is an all-in-one tool; all you need to do is plug in your data points from various data sources and you are good to go."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."

Cons

"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."
"The setup of Hadoop was easy thanks to Ambari, but installing the security components was complex."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"We have had problems with the backup and with services that require a disaster site."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support is okay, but not excellent."
"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University, makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is priced well and it is affordable"

"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
