We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and Hortonworks Data Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The data science aspect of the solution is valuable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there are a lot of things that need to improve. I believe they are working on that."
"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 data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"Now, using this solution, it is much cheaper to have all of the data available for searching, not in real-time, but whenever there is a pending request."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case."
"It could be faster and more user-friendly."
"While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there is a lot of things that need to improve."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"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."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for 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."
