We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and IBM Spectrum Computing 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 product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"The most valuable feature is Kubernetes."
"The solution is stable."
"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"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."
"The product as a whole is good."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."
"Easy to operate and use."
"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"We are satisfied with the technical support, we have no issues."
"The governance aspect of the solution should be improved."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We have not been able to use deduplication."
"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."
"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."
"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."
"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."
"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."
