The primary usage of Cloudera Data Platform is to offload ETL processes because it's cheaper compared to data warehouse solutions like Teradata or Oracle. Furthermore, basic reporting can be done, and some real-time processes can be managed. View full review »

Hortonworks actually provides a complete solution and just one user interface that can manage all the packages. It can monitor all the requirements, all the versions and additionally all the quays and all the hardware-dependent services. What I want is a useful user interface which is the reason why I currently prefer to use Hortonworks.

Senior IT Officer- Head of Administration, System Administration Division for Unix and Linux Servers at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

We use this solution to look at and manage big data. It's mostly historical data that we offload from our data warehouse, as well as from other databases in other platforms.

We have two different installations. The first one is based on IBM POWER CPUs, and the other one is based on Intel CPUs. Our data center is on-premise. There is some thought on moving to a private could, or a private IBM cloud, but we have not proceeded with that as of yet.
