Cloudera Data Platform can be improved in several areas. I recently attended their roadmap session. Whatever limitations they have identified involve moving data from on-premises to cloud as a single-pane view and better lineage. They have done some recent acquisitions as well to overcome their product limitations. They are on the right track by doing this analysis themselves, identifying what the weaknesses are, and then using mergers or acquisitions to overcome them. I would like to add that, beyond the platform itself, they should provide more training to systems integrators so that they can have a more ready workforce to use Cloudera Data Platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudera Data Platform has positively impacted our organization by reducing overall manual intervention, requiring fewer efforts and resources to build a big data cluster compared to traditional methods."
"The best features Cloudera Data Platform offers are the processing power with Spark and the distributed data storage, HDFS, which helps us handle massive volumes of data."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"Hortonworks is 100% Open Source."
"From a product standpoint, their Ambari UI is incredibly valuable for cluster monitoring."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"There’s not only one, the all-stack of Hadoop is valuable, the distributed file system HDFS, Spark, Kafka, HBase, etc. Hortonworks has certainly got the most up-to-date version of each component of Hadoop."
"The most valuable feature are the data transformation functions in the workbook."
"The built-in smart analytic tools are the most valuable features for me."
"Datameer has around 400 inbuilt functions that are very useful for any beginner and also it has a good visualization which helps end user to see that how the trend is showing."
"Customer Service: It's very good."
 

Cons

"Customer Service: It's fairly low customer service. Technical Support: It's fairly low technical support."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Cloudera Data Platform can be improved in several areas. I recently attended their roadmap session. Whatever limitations they have identified involve moving data from on-premises to cloud as a single-pane view and better lineage."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases (Oracle/Teradata, etc.), which would save a lot of money for the company."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"I have not seen enough innovation in Cloudera Data Platform, particularly in support for machine learning."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"That said, there’s still room for improvement in integration speed and UI responsiveness, especially when managing large clusters or hybrid deployments."
"It is a good tool from an analysis perspective, but is not suitable for IT."
"When I run the single license on my MacBook Pro, the memory space can be an issue."
"It needs better integration with other enterprise technologies out of the box."
"Although this tool is very good, it has some limitations that I think could be removed in later versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is priced well and it is affordable"
"Currently, we are using the product in a sandbox environment, and there is no licensing. We might choose a licensing option once we get the results."
