The tool is expensive. Overall, it's not a cheap software tool, and that is why only large enterprises who are mature enough and have an architecture that is complex enough opt for Cloudera, as its ROI would make sense to such businesses. For the SMB market or customers whose environments are not that complex and do not have multiple systems running, Cloudera might not be a good option.
The product comes with an annual subscription, which is expensive. They are bundling technologies together. You have to pay an extra cost if you need the technology out of the base license.
The solution's license price increased five times because of CDH. We set the licensing levels like data engineering, an enterprise data hub, data science, and data engineering, and then when they moved to CDP, none of this was possible anymore. It's way more expensive now. I rate the product's pricing a two out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

Cloudera can become costly once you need to scale up. and more expensive than going with public cloud services. If you cross a certain threshold of nodes, you need to look for alternatives because it becomes too expensive. We are below that with around 30 to 40 cloud error compute units that we pay for.

Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is expensive. There are a lot of costs involved. For example: apart from the standard licensing fees, there are support costs involved, and support could be for three years, five years, etc., so support is a pretty large part of the contract.
For enterprise organizations that can bear the cost, it's a good solution. A smaller company wouldn't be able to afford the licensing fees. You can get a free trial for 60 days. They'll never have a community version because they're the only ones in the market offering this kind of framework.
Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is the world's most complete, tested, and popular distribution of Apache Hadoop and related projects. CDH is 100% Apache-licensed open source and is the only Hadoop solution to offer unified batch processing, interactive SQL, and interactive search, and role-based access controls. More enterprises have downloaded CDH than all other such distributions combined.

I wouldn't recommend CDH to others because of its high cost.

I haven't bought a license for this solution. I'm only using the Apache license version.
We do not pay for licensing because our customers forward it, so there is no need to purchase the license for the project.
The price could be better for the product.
When comparing with Oracle Sybase and SQL, it's cheaper. It's not expensive.
