We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop, InfluxDB, and Neo4j Graph Database based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MongoDB, Couchbase, InfluxData and others in NoSQL Databases."The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent."
"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."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"The product is completely secure."
"The data science aspect of the solution is valuable."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"The most valuable features are aggregating the data and integration with Graphana for monitoring."
"In our case, it started with a necessity to fill the gap that we had in monitoring. We had very reactive monitoring without trend analysis and without some advanced features. We were able to implement them by using a time series database. We are able to have all the data from applications, logs, and systems, and we can use a simple query language to correlate all the data and make things happen, especially with monitoring. We could more proactively monitor our systems and our players' trends."
"InfluxDB is a database where you can insert data. However, it would be best if you had different components for alerting, data sending, and visualization. You need to install tools to collect data from servers. It must be installed on Windows or Linux servers. During installation, ensure that the configuration file is correct to prevent issues. Once data is collected, it can be sent to InfluxDB. For visualization, you can use open-source tools like Grafana."
"The most valuable features of InfluxDB are the documentation and performance, and the good plugins metrics in the ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is we can use InfluxDB to integrate with and plug into any other tools."
"The user interface is well-designed and easy to use. It provides a clear overview of the data, making it simple to understand the information at hand."
"InfluxDB's best feature is that it's a cloud offering. Other good features include its time-series DB, fast time-bulk queries, and window operations."
"The solution is very powerful."
"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."
"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."
"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"They should focus on upgrading their technical capabilities in the market."
"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."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"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."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"The error logging capability can be improved because the logs are not very informative."
"I've tried both on-premises and cloud-based deployments, and each has its limitations."
"In terms of features that I would like to see or have, in the community version, some features are not available. I would like to have clustering and authentication in the community version."
"The solution's UI can be more user-friendly."
"InfluxDB cannot be used for high-cardinality data. It's also difficult and time-consuming to write queries, and there are some issues with bulk API."
"InfluxDB can improve by including new metrics on other technologies. They had some changes recently to pool data from endpoints but the functionality is not good enough in the industry."
"InfluxDB is generally stable, but we've encountered issues with the configuration file in our ticket stack. For instance, a mistake in one of the metrics out of a hundred KPIs can disrupt data collection for all KPIs. This happens because the agent stops working if there's an issue with any configuration part. To address this, it is essential to ensure that all configurations are part of the agent's EXE file when provided. This makes it easier to package the agent for server installation and ensures all KPIs are available from the server. Additionally, the agent cannot encrypt and decrypt passwords for authentication, which can be problematic when monitoring URLs or requiring authentication tokens. This requires additional scripting and can prolong service restart times."
"The solution doesn't have much of a user interface."
"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."
"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."
