Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop vs IBM Spectrum Computing comparison

"The product is completely secure."

"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."

"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."

"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 file system is a valuable feature."

"The tool's most interesting features are the distributed file system and unstructured data processing capability. Because we have a lot of unstructured data, like XML and social media logs, these features make it more valuable than the usual data warehousing solutions."

"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."

"Easy to operate and use."

"We are satisfied with the technical support, we have no issues."

"IBM's ability to cluster compute resources is impressive, with built-in support for scenarios like VR and active-active configurations,"

"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."

"The comparison was challenging, but the IBM Spectrum Scale offered a balanced solution. Our engineers rated itsanalytics capabilities equally high as Pure Storage. For workload management, Spectrum Computing provided effective solutions that met our needs. Workload management is part of a complete solution that uses different tools. There were the cloud and HPC parts; within HPC, there were parts like liquid cooling, simple computing, storage, and orchestration. The orchestration team handled the workload management."

"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."

"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."

"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on."

"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."

"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."

"The performance of some analytics engines provided by Cloudera is not that good."

"The pricing needs to improve."

"While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties."

"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."

"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."

"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."

"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."

"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."

"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."

"We have not been able to use deduplication."

"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."

"IBM's sales and support structure can be challenging."

"In Pakistan, IBM's disadvantage is the lack of OEM support and presence."

"The solution is expensive."

"When comparing with Oracle Sybase and SQL, it's cheaper. It's not expensive."

"The pricing must be improved."

"I believe we pay for a three-year license."

"The tool is expensive...For the SMB market or customers whose environments are not that complex and do not have multiple systems running, Cloudera might not be a good option."

"It is an expensive product."

"The price is very high. The solution is expensive."

"The solution is fairly expensive."

"Spectrum Computing is one of the most expensive products on the market."

"This solution is expensive."
