"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 solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"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 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."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"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."
"It is very stable and very innovative. You can integrate many applications with it."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the integration with other solutions in data quality."
"We like that the product is both vertically and horizontally scalable, allowing us to do around 86 percent compression of documentation from 50 to seven terabytes."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"It's easy to use, and the Hana Studio is pretty good."
"We've had good experiences with technical support."
"The memory is the solution's most valuable feature. It's the main feature of HANA. Others are still the regular IT databases that are on storage and are therefore much slower than HANA. The solution is quite fast."
"All features are valuable."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"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."
"Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"It could be faster and more user-friendly."
"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."
"SAP HANA is a very proprietary tool and there's not as much support available for it as there is for an SQL Server (which is more popular)."
"Technical support should be more customer-friendly."
"The SAP ERP processes are quite complex and it can be challenging."
"Unlike other databases, it lacks management features that legacy databases like Oracle or SQL servers have. They need to make the solution easier to manage and offer tools that make management more effective. A lot of things you have on traditional databases you have to develop into HANA."
"The user experience should be better. Its user interface is not good. I also don't like the transition concept."
"The worst thing about SAP HANA is the price; it's very expensive. The licensing cost, implementation cost, hosting cost, and appliance cost are all high."
"In a future release, SAP HANA should add a module for taxation, such as income tax and withholding tax."
