Reliable performance maintained but requires ongoing management and support
Hadoop was used for years, but there were problems since the people who originally set it up left the firm. The group that owned it later didn't have the technical resources to properly maintain it. Although there was nothing wrong with Hadoop itself, issues arose without proper management and upgrades.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Apache Hadoop can manage large amounts and volumes of data with relative ease, which is a feature that is beneficial."
"The most valuable feature is the database."
"The most valuable features are the ability to process the machine data at a high speed, and to add structure to our data so that we can generate relevant analytics."
"Hadoop is designed to be scalable, so I don't think that it has limitations in regards to scalability."
"We selected Apache Hadoop because it is not dependent on third-party vendors."
"With the increase in data size for the business, this horizontal scalable appliance has answered every business question in terms of storage and processing."
"What I like about Apache Hadoop is that it's for big data, in particular big data analysis, and it's the easier solution. I like the data processing feature for AI/ML use cases the most because some solutions allow me to collect data from relational databases, while Hadoop provides me with more options for newer technologies."
"Apache Hadoop is crucial in projects that save and retrieve data daily. Its valuable features are scalability and stability. It is easy to integrate with the existing infrastructure."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more direct integration of visualization applications."
"The main thing is the lack of community support. If you want to implement a new API or create a new file system, you won't find easy support."
"In the next release, I would like to see Hive more responsive for smaller queries and to reduce the latency."
"Hadoop's security could be better."
"It would be good to have more advanced analytics tools."
"The key shortcoming is its inability to handle queries when there is insufficient memory. This limitation can be bypassed by processing the data in chunks."
"There is a lack of virtualization and presentation layers, so you can't take it and implement it like a radio solution."
"It's good for what is meant to do, a lot of big data, but it's not as good for low latency applications."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
"The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
"Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
"It's reasonable, but there's room for improvement in cost-effectiveness."
"The product is open-source, but some associated licensing fees depend on the subscription level."
"This is a low cost and powerful solution."
"If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
"We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
