We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop, MongoDB, 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."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."
"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 product as a whole is good."
"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"We find the query and speed very valuable."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Overall, MongoDB has helped manage and analyze attachment data."
"It is easy to set up."
"Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced."
"I think that MongoDB isn't too structured, and that's good for our technical team because they are able to search through the database better than if they are using SQL Server."
"One of the biggest benefits is the speed and flexibility of the documents, especially when it comes to modifications."
"MongoDB is extremely developer-friendly because when you are starting, there is very little time needed upfront in terms of planning."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."
"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."
"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties."
"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on."
"It could be faster and more user-friendly."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions. Instead of MongoDB, we will use Oracle Database because for a transactional service, you have to rely on RDBMS ACID properties. I would love to work on MongoDB by using my mobile phone. When I am working remotely or traveling and have some instances deployed on my server, I should be able to check through my mobile whether all the data is being pulled. GitHub has a similar feature, where it lets you read from the laptop, and you can also pull and push with your mobile phone. I would request MongoDB to provide such a feature. Basically, I want a mobile version for both iOS and Android versions."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture."
"MongoDB can improve large-size video or media frame operations. There are a lot of customers who want to upload media frames and video games but there is some difficulty. In MongoDB, we are looking out for solutions that are for large-size media files that can be saved and navigated efficiently."
"MongoDB should incorporate more features, particularly search functionality, and real-time communication capabilities, to improve the database and provide data listening services. Currently, we rely on the Atlas offering, but it would be fantastic if MongoDB could develop a new solution or updated version that includes these features within its internal database and driver. However, I am uncertain if this would be a viable or profitable move for them, and I am speaking from a mobile-centric viewpoint."
"The transaction could use improvement. From MySQL, for example, you cannot create a transaction if you are reading and writing a document at the same time."
"I feel that most people don't know a lot about MongoDB, so maybe they could add some more documentation and tutorials."
"I would like to see the scalability and security improved."
"Enhancing the documentation to make it more beginner-friendly is crucial."
"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."
