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."In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"The features I find most valuable is that the solution is that it is easy to install and to work with. It starts with the installation and from there on the management is very simple and centralized."
"I don't see any performance issues."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The Hortonworks solution is so stable. It is working as a production system, without any error, without any downtime. If I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"We use it for data science activities."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"It could be faster and more user-friendly."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."
"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"They should focus on upgrading their technical capabilities in the market."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"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."
