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.

Modular design, product-based MDM and easy to setup
Stibo is a great product if you want to utilize it in product-based MDM. Customer-base, they are still growing, but product-base is fine because every single time you have to create hierarchies in the product and not care about all the other stuff. But the major thing is the hierarchy, at which particular type that product is and what that product does, how it looks, what is the catalog, what are the relationships with other stuff. So, from that note, Stibo is great. Around 20 to 25 people were there when I was on a particular project. I knew around 20 to 25 people who knew Stibo MDM and were part of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"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."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"We use it for data science activities."
"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 match engine is very good and the BPM solution is very good as well."
"The second feature I love is its modular design, where you can create a certain number of entities and create hierarchical entities."
"It's powerful and it's stable."
"Data profiling allows us to recognize values from our upstream applications. It helps us place limits on the creation of new data domains to organize the ecosystem. The golden record, crucial for downstream applications, ensures data integrity and consistency."
"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."
 

Cons

"For on-premise use, I would not recommend Cloudera Data Platform as it is expensive and complicated to upgrade."
"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."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"Since Cloudera acquired HDP, it's been bundled with CBH and HDP. However, the biggest challenge is cloud storage integration with Azure, GCP, and AWS."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."
"The search feature for searching internal records could be improved."
"The analytics module can be improved. It is a self-service solution for creating new reports and submitting visions to bring more data to the CEO table."
"The customer service and support were a little adamant about giving workarounds rather than accepting that something was not working correctly."
"The initial setup is complex."
 

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."
