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.

Offers features that pinpoints locations with maps and provides reporting about data performance and completeness
Until I work with a customer, I won't be able to recognize the performance regarding the integration of records, especially when records are coming in as a full load or a delta after an initial load. I have to check how it performs in the integration part when pushing the entire data into MDM. Most tools have a downside in this area. So far, I have not faced any other problems regarding Reltio. I just did a certification and the provided hands-on exercises. I didn't find anything concerning, but I would definitely want to use the AI features introduced in Reltio more. The Hands-on Lab in the certification allows you to try out certain AI features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"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."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"It is very easy to learn. The"
"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"
"The cloud feature is very beneficial, and the scalability performance feature is excellent."
"It is a scalable product, and the scalability is good. We can configure users."
"The matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."
"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"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."
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
"The download process can be quite slow"
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"Reltio Cloud could be improved in two specific areas. Firstly, the API capability needs to be enhanced, as when utilizing the REST API and posting a significant amount of data, there are multiple rejections from the MDM side. This can be due to the MDM server not responding or being unable to process the request. Therefore, I suggest that the API capacity should be increased to handle larger amounts of data. Additionally, I have noticed that the response time from the servers can take up to a minute or a few seconds, which can be improved for a faster response time."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"The support team is slow to respond when we need assistance with workflow deployments. We must rely on their availability and contact them to receive the required JAR files."
"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."
"There is some lag in developing new features for specific business requirements. If a new feature is needed, we have to raise a request in the developer portal through the IDEA portal. This process takes time to develop, which can be a drawback when immediate business needs arise."
 

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."
