Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, Cloudera, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Hadoop."We use it for data science activities."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"The Hortonworks solution is so stable. It is working as a production system, without any error, without any downtime. If I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"Data compression. It was relatively impressive. I think at some point we were getting 4:1 compression if not more."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"For me, as an end-user, everything that I do on the solution is simple, clear, and understandable."
"It is a back end for our SSIS, MicroStrategy,, Tableau. All of these are connecting to get the data. To do so we are also using our analytics which is built on the data."
"Speed contributes to large capacity."
"The need for administration involvement is quite limited on the solution."
"The performance of the solution is its most valuable feature. The solution is easy to administer as well. It's very user-friendly. On the technical side, the architecture is simple to understand and you don't need too many administrators to handle the solution."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"Since Cloudera acquired HDP, it's been bundled with CBH and HDP. However, the biggest challenge is cloud storage integration with Azure, GCP, and AWS."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"The solution could implement more reporting tools and networking utilities."
"The Analytics feature should be simplified."
"Disaster recovery support. Because it was an appliance, and if you wanted to support disaster recovery, you needed to buy two."
"Administration of this product is too tough. It's very complex because of the tools which it's missing."
"I'm not sure of IBM's roadmap currently, as the solution is coming up on its end of life."
"In-DB processing with SAS Analytics, since this is supposed to be an analytics server so the expectation is there."
"This product is being discontinued from IBM, and I would like to have some kind of upgrade available."
"The hardware has a risk of failure. They need to improve this."
