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.

Query automation has reduced investigation time and frees our team to focus on complex DevOps tasks
The best features Query.ai offers make anything with queries much easier, and it ensures that it is very optimistically correct with whatever it is doing. It also delivers access throughout real-time and historical data, making it really quick and fast to act upon. The real-time and historical data access from Query.ai helps me in my work by allowing me to go through queries quicker, so even if there are errors anywhere, detection happens pretty fast. Because it is on automation and the investigation is done really quickly, it saves a lot of my time. Query.ai has positively impacted my organization by being very appreciative for what it has done and how there is lesser work task on ourselves, and we could be focusing on more things because as DevOps, we have a lot of work. The reduction in workload due to Query.ai has made things easier, especially every time we need to investigate why an SQL query is not loading or if it is duplicating. It is especially effective during access management to either provision or de-provision access for users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"We use it for data science activities."
"From a product standpoint, their Ambari UI is incredibly valuable for cluster monitoring."
"Now, using this solution, it is much cheaper to have all of the data available for searching, not in real-time, but whenever there is a pending request."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"Ease of deployment and management of the Hadoop cluster are features we've found most valuable."
"The Hadoop value proposition is in expanded functionality, linear scalability, and reduced software and infrastructure costs."
"Cloudera Data Platform has significantly improved our data management."
"Time saving and accuracy are the main benefits; in my data mart and data lakes project, Query.ai has been very useful, with all transformations automated, which had a huge impact on our entire project."
"Query.ai helps reduce costs and improve security in my organization, though I do not have the actual numbers, but the impact was significant."
"Query.ai has positively impacted my organization by being very appreciative for what it has done and how there is lesser work task on ourselves, and we could be focusing on more things because as DevOps, we have a lot of work."
 

Cons

"The only issue that I had was when I tried to reinstall the software on every node."
"Cloudera Data Platform could improve by innovating more in terms of full-fledged support for AI workloads, enriching machine learning or LLM, as there haven't been updates in that aspect over the last one and a half years."
"The initial setup may take several hours or days, depending on the challenges faced during installation. It's not always a smooth process due to potential complexities."
"It needs to be quicker and to have the ability to automate deployment on multiple nodes."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Cloudera Data Platform can be improved in several areas. I recently attended their roadmap session. Whatever limitations they have identified involve moving data from on-premises to cloud as a single-pane view and better lineage."
"Hortonworks is at end of life; they are not adding new things to this, so everything will be Cloudera now."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"Query.ai performs well, but there are other software options that do auditing a little better."
"Probably Query.ai could be a little more optimized, but it is good."
"I felt the pricing is somewhat higher."
 

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"
