We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and IBM Spectrum Computing based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The product as a whole is good."
"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 most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."
"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."
"It could be faster and more user-friendly."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on."
"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."
"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."
"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."
"We have not been able to use deduplication."
