We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and IBM Analytics Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, Cloudera, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Hadoop."It allows users to access the data through a web interface."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"One of the valuable features about this solution is that it's managed services, so it's pretty stable, and scalable as much as you wish. It has all the necessary distributions. With some additional work, it's also possible to change to a Spark version with the latest version of EMR. It also has Hudi, so we are leveraging Apache Hudi on EMR for change data capture, so then it comes out-of-the-box in EMR."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"The project management is very streamlined."
"The best part was that we could make minor changes in the way we were bifurcating the data, even at a very small scale. The accuracy of conversion was also very high."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"We don't have much control. If we have multiple users, if they want to scale up, the cost will go and increase and we don't know how we can restrict that price part."
"Modules and strategies should be better handled and notified early in advance."
"As people are shifting from legacy solutions to other technologies, Amazon EMR needs to add more features that give more flexibility in managing user data."
"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions."
"One area for improvement would be the initial setup stage, which took longer than expected."
