The product is open-source, but some associated licensing fees depend on the subscription level. While it might be free for students, organizations typically need to pay for their subscriptions. The fees were reasonable for my usage, though I am not aware of recent changes to the pricing.
The solution is expensive, but that's for the customer to decide. We already have the cost of the materials and the license, but we can compare pricing with other integrators and can't see any specific difference. It's an annual license. The customer is part of a larger company that already uses Hadoop. They know what they want and have a use case in mind, which is why they asked us for a proposal. We just give the pricing and information.
For any big enterprise the costs can be handled, and it is suitable for big enterprises because the scale of data is large. For medium and small enterprises, the tool is on the high-price side.

I am not sure about the price, but in terms of usability and utility of the software as a whole, I would rate it a three and a half to four out of five.
If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs.
We originally built on Hortonworks tech which didn't require any licensing, but that is getting discontinued in 2022, so it's been proposed we move to Cloudera which will have licensing costs associated with it.
Apache Hadoop provides a scalable, cost-effective open-source platform capable of handling vast data volumes with features like HDFS, distributed processing, and high integration capabilities.Apache Hadoop is known for its distributed file system HDFS, which supports large data volumes efficiently. Its open-source nature allows cost-effective scalability and compatibility with tools like Spark for enhanced analytics. While it offers significant processing power, areas for improvement include...

I would rate the product's subscription-based pricing a six out of ten. It's reasonable, but there's room for improvement in cost-effectiveness.

We just use the free version.
I am not updated with the licensing cost, but you need to pay for a license if purchased from Cloudera.

The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop.

The solution isn't cheap. It's quite costly.
