We performed a comparison between Cassandra and Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cassandra has some features that are more useful for specific use cases where you have time series where you have huge amounts of writes. That should be quick, but not specifically the reads. We needed to have quicker reads and writes and this is why we are using Cassandra right now."
"I am satisfied with the performance."
"A consistent solution."
"The use of Cassandra in real-time data analytics has been pivotal for our e-commerce platform. As our platform operates 24/7, providing services to sellers and customers alike, the need for real-time updates is paramount."
"Our primary use case for the solution is testing."
"I am getting much better performance than relational databases."
"Cassandra is good. It's better than CouchDB, and we are using it in parallel with CouchDB. Cassandra looks better and is more user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the counter features and the NoSQL schema. It also has good scalability. You can scale Cassandra to any finite level."
"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."
"I don't see any performance issues."
"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"The most valuable feature is Kubernetes."
"CDH has a wide variety of proprietary tools that we use, like Impala. So from that perspective, it's quite useful as opposed to something open-source. We get a lot of value from Cloudera's proprietary tools."
"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."
"Doesn't support a solution that can give aggregation."
"The initial setup of Cassandra can be difficult in the configuration. There might be a need to have assistance. The implementation process can six months for connecting to certain databases."
"Maybe they can improve their performance in data fetching from a high volume of data sets."
"It can be difficult to analyze what's going on inside of the database relative to other databases. It can also be difficult to troubleshoot sometimes."
"Cassandra could be more user-friendly like MongoDB."
"The solution is not easy to use because it is a big database and you have to learn the interface. This is the case though in most of these solutions."
"The secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."
"The pricing needs to improve."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"It would be useful if Cloudera had more tools like SQL Engines that offer the traditional relational database. We have to do a lot of work preparing the data outside Cloudera before getting it into the platform."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
