We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and SAP HANA 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."Customer service and support were able to fix whatever the issue was."
"The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable."
"Very good end-to-end security features."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The product as a whole is good."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"The in-memory computing and the efficient response time are very good features."
"The feature that I like the most is that we can transport the data to our web data application. SAP HANA's performance is really perfect. We're working on big data, and SAP HANA is really working on high performance. We are happy working with it."
"Using this solution has given us better details for reporting and analytics."
"It's easy to use, and the Hana Studio is pretty good."
"Integration is the most valuable feature we use SAP HANA for."
"The product handles high volumes very well and provides good integration."
"If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy."
"The in-memory database is excellent."
"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 price of this solution could be lowered."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case."
"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 competitors provide better functionalities."
"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."
"Technical support could be better."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The surface side or Attack dashboard needs improvement because there are some gaps after sales services."
"In terms of improvement, the speed is not as good as we thought it would be. That is why we are trying different solutions that will be built with different technologies."
"Uses a large amount of RAM and is costly."
"High availability and disaster recovery are very poor in HANA."
"I would like more technical documentation. I would like it to be easier to find online help or have a better launch-based service. SAP has a lot of functions, so we need more best practices and more detailed documentation on industry solutions. For example, it would be good to have documentation on why a certain process needs to be set up and which kinds of configurations need to be set up."
"There's an issue in the partition. When you record more than two million records, partitioning does not work well. In Oracle it's easy. SAP must resolve this issue in order to be more competitive with Oracle."
