Miodrag-Stanic - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Chetan Thote - PeerSpot reviewer
A good master data management solution that gives complete functionality control to the user, but lacks in community support resources
We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product. We would also like to see support added for the mobile MDM, so that the solution can be integrated with handheld and IOS devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"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."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"Cloudera Data Platform has positively impacted my organization by eliminating challenges we faced with CDH, which had not been supported for a cloud journey; in contrast, CDP allows for easy, mostly automated scalability where I can schedule job workflows, fine-tune system resource metrics, and add nodes with just a click."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Cloudera Data Platform has significantly improved our data management."
"The data quality is very good."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server."
"The benefits I have seen from using TIBCO EBX are quite significant."
"What I find best about TIBCO EBX is its workflow modeling capabilities, which are very good for a master data management tool."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"We decided to switch to TIBCO EBX because we can organize the data, and it helps manage this data for an accurate and consistent view of the physical business data."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"I have not seen enough innovation in Cloudera Data Platform, particularly in support for machine learning."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"For on-premise use, I would not recommend Cloudera Data Platform as it is expensive and complicated to upgrade."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"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."
"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."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."
"We observe performance issues lately. If we perform any bulk update or use the bulk functionality to update the data, during that time, the index rebuild happens in the back end. The operations team faces issues, including downtime or slowness, and we monitor it, performing any required actions such as restarting applications."
"We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"TIBCO EBX has performance issues, particularly with speed. Replicating data can take several hours even with normal median data."
 

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"
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
