We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop, Hortonworks Data Platform, and IBM InfoSphere BigInsights [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, Cloudera, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Hadoop.
"CDH has a wide variety of proprietary tools that we use, like Impala. So from that perspective, it's quite useful as opposed to something open-source. We get a lot of value from Cloudera's proprietary tools."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"The features I find most valuable is that the solution is that it is easy to install and to work with. It starts with the installation and from there on the management is very simple and centralized."
"It is a scalable platform."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"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."
"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."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"InfoSphere Streams was the one core product from the platform in which we were using. We were building a real-time response system and we built it on InfoSphere Streams."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"The Cloudera training has deteriorated significantly."
"The one thing that we struggled with predominately was support. Because it was relatively new, support was always a big issue and I think it's still a bit of an ongoing concern with the team currently managing it."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"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."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"The UI was not interactive: Responses used to be very slow and hang up at times."
