We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent.""We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours.""We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there are a lot of things that need to improve. I believe they are working on that.""The data science aspect of the solution is valuable.""The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements.""The most valuable feature is Kubernetes.""The product is completely secure.""The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."

"It is pretty stable.""The valuable features of Couchbase are the many documents and index types, and they made a lot of features available enabling us to use it as a complete solution for our needs.""The whole stack is valuable, but the portion of the stack that we're finding really handy is the analytics engine because that allows us to take and pre-build views.""It can scale horizontally, and we are looking to expand our capacity.""Sync Gateway is a great feature that supports the mobile application.""The most valuable feature of Couchbase is document indexing. It is better than MongoDB. Additionally, the solution is easy to use.""The most valuable features are the ease of application and the merging of data.""The principal advantage of Couchbase is that we can have multiple database paradigms in the same product, without deploying multiple databases. We also like that it has lower latency, when compared to its competitor: Cassandra."

Cons
"The price of this solution could be lowered.""There are multiple bugs when we update.""The procedure for operations could be simplified.""We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there is a lot of things that need to improve.""Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment.""Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance.""They should focus on upgrading their technical capabilities in the market.""It would be useful if Cloudera had more tools like SQL Engines that offer the traditional relational database. We have to do a lot of work preparing the data outside Cloudera before getting it into the platform."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop Cons →

"One thing that could improved upon is the level of concurrency. The documentation for this solution could also be improved.""The failover and failback could be a bit easier. When I looked at it last time, it had to be manually done. It also took over an hour for us to rebalance all the nodes.""Needs some capacity planning to deal with too much memory, CPUs and displays.""It's easy to deploy. Where the challenge comes in is when you start putting data in, doing the indexes, and doing the integration with systems. Integration is one of their weakest points. Natively, there should be a wide range of integration options to be able to get data in.""The performance could be quicker and better, especially in the querying process.""It is very difficult to load the backup of the older version to the newer version.""Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature.""The scripting language for this solution could be improved. A big selling point is that they're like SQL server but there is still quite a lot of missing functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "When comparing with Oracle Sybase and SQL, it's cheaper. It's not expensive."
  • "The price could be better for the product."
  • "I haven't bought a license for this solution. I'm only using the Apache license version."
  • "Cloudera requires a license to use."
  • "Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is expensive, with support costs involved."
  • "I wouldn't recommend CDH to others because of its high cost."
  • "The price is very high. The solution is expensive."
  • "The solution is expensive."

  • "The price of this solution is better than some of the other competitors."
  • "We estimate that it's not very expensive, however, the pricing that you can get from the account managers, e.g. the public pricing, could be a bit expensive."
  • "I wouldn't say Couchbase offers good value for money."
  • "It seems very reasonable. It's a lot cheaper than Redis, but we've got an enterprise license. So, it's about normal. It's not outrageous in price as far as we've seen. From Couchbase, there's no additional fee as far as I'm aware, but when you're integrating, there's an additional fee because a lot of times, they don't have an integration stack."
  • "I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing as it is affordable."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The product comes with an annual subscription, which is expensive. They are bundling technologies together. You have to pay an extra cost if you need the technology out of the base license.
    Top Answer:The whole stack is valuable, but the portion of the stack that we're finding really handy is the analytics engine because that allows us to take and pre-build views.
    Top Answer:Their security model leaves something to be desired. Their indexes could use some work, but once we found out what was going on with them, it became second. So, the biggest one so far is integrating… more »
    Top Answer:We're in the middle of building out a persistent cache layer using Couchbase. That's across multiple international regions, but we have other instances where we're using it for data stores and some… more »
