"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"It is a back end for our SSIS, MicroStrategy,, Tableau. All of these are connecting to get the data. To do so we are also using our analytics which is built on the data."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The need for administration involvement is quite limited on the solution."

"Speed contributes to large capacity."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance."
"The solution does not support multiple languages very well and this means users need to create work-arounds to implement some solutions."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"The solution could implement more reporting tools and networking utilities."
"The most valuable features of this solution are robustness and support."
"In-DB processing with SAS Analytics, since this is supposed to be an analytics server so the expectation is there."
"Administration of this product is too tough. It's very complex because of the tools which it's missing."
"Disaster recovery support. Because it was an appliance, and if you wanted to support disaster recovery, you needed to buy two."
