Featured Reviews

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 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."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"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."
"Integration with other tools works well for us and we successfully scaled the solution after two to three years without any issues."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"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."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX saves a lot of time and gives considerable flexibility to business users who might not be completely technical but can work on it in specific areas."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"The benefits I have seen from using TIBCO EBX are quite significant."
"The data quality is very good."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
 

Cons

"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"For on-premise use, I would not recommend Cloudera Data Platform as it is expensive and complicated to upgrade."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"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."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"One aspect that could be improved in TIBCO EBX is the latency when compared with other tools. This drawback is dependent on the data volume that you have."
"With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"Marketing could be improved, as EBX wasn't well-presented in Turkey."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"The documentation needs improvement."
 

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."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"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."
