Cloudera Reviews & Product Details - Page 3

I’m using cloudera platform for CCA 175 Hadoop and Spark Developer certification preparation. Best thing is it fits in 8 gb ram machine. It includes almost all the hadoop eco systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licensing cost. It much higher compared to Hortonworks. That’s why my employer AT&T is slightly migrating to Hortonworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface. It is simple and clean, the user can learn to navigate very easily. Plugins of impala and HIVE allow any SQL user to easily adapt Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It cannot tell while execution that due to others it will not be able to compute the given task immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloudera is very versatile for multiple use cases to handle data. Works will as data storage and can be used as a work horse to crunch large amount of data for Analytics purposes.

Very happy with Cloudera and expanding our 17 node environment to 140 nodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to be experience to really know how to use the advanced features. Any tech savy engineer can learn this relatively quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been working on Cloudera Hadoop Distributions (CDH) since last two years. In this capacity, I have encountered many amazing features of CDH including but not limited to User Interface (UI) and Kerborse set up. Kerborse configuration through CDH UI is as easy as it can be. Not to mention that it does an amazing job of big data management and analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CDH is comparatively slower than other distributions. In addition to that, it's setup and configuration can be often hard and confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is effective in managing all hadoop services, configuring parameters, and monitoring the hadoop status in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really hard to keep software up to date or allow users to install softwares by themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installs hadoop across multiple servers easily.

can manage hadoop clusters with cloudera manager easily.

Cloudera management service is nice to view metrics per servers.

provide some useful tools (like impala). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

certain functionalities (like rolling restart) requires enterprise edition

sometimes the symlinks created are multiple symlinks which make no sense

they take awhile longer to repackage newer versions of tools (like spark, parquet, etc...) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloudera Manager. By far the best integrated system for administrating Hadoop clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having to deal with the installation of CSDs when adding parcels for new services (e.g. Kudu). It's very inconvenient and should be part of the parcel deployment process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloudera abstracts you from the need of really knowing the depths of a Hadoop cluster at the beginning of your analytics stage. It's simply very easy to deploy servers with HDFS already deployed and connected that will give you automatic support to run Hive or Pig queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloudera has very little things to not like it until it fails for some (usually) unknown reason. Crashes are not common but it's very annoying when it happens on a very long job. When we deal with distributed systems, however, failures are a very common thing so it lacks some better feedback of logs and error logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Cloudera is one of the distribution platform for HBase/Hadoop.

2. You get the knowledge base of the top Hbase committers

3. Licensing fee is cheap (when compared to Hortonworks)

4. Easier installation

5. Good support teams to respond to your problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Focussed mainly on HBase and not on the entire Hadoop ecosystem

2. Not a great support team on Hadoop in general Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does make administrating and writing code in hadoop a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of extra configurations to do. Its not a con but I was confused as a beginner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
