What do you like best about Hortonworks Data Platform?

HDP is the closest open source platform you can get in hadoop eco system with more choice of tools than everything else. The convenience of Ambari UI and API for building, deploying and managing the cluster makes it relatively easy to get started. With Yarn and Spark you can mix different nodes for storage and compute and master nodes to manage loads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hortonworks Data Platform?

Version upgrades are more challenging than anticipated. Each upgrade has it's own quirks and compatibility issues that need to be resolved manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hortonworks Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Building and deploying large scale Hadoop/Hive/Yarn/Spark clusters with hundreds of nodes in distributed environments on AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hortonworks Data Platform?

Documentation with clear examples. Easy for any beginner to start with hadoop.

Their blogs are really good to find solutions for the common problems that we come across.

Due to it's good performance, we eventually moved from cloudera to hortonworks platform.

It supports Windows platform as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hortonworks Data Platform?

VM setup - It's not as good as what Cloudera provides.

Monitoring isn't that great. Ambari Management interface on HDP is just a basic one and does not have many rich features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hortonworks Data Platform:

Hortonworks provides a framework comprising of open source projects which is good for any open source lovers. Easy to start with it's great tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Hortonworks Data Platform?

The tutorials that they provide on their website are the best.

So, simplified and easy to understand. Plus they also provide us with the working model of their implementation which we can implement ourself side by side giving us a feel of what is happening and how it is happening.

They have also attached screenshots of each and every screen which helps us a lot. The comment section that they have included also helps us solve the error because sometimes same error had been faced by some other person and experts helps us solve that error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hortonworks Data Platform?

I just dislike the virtual image they provide us. My laptop configurations is decent enough to support cloudera's Vm and run processes on it but the VM that they have provided are too slow to process. Plus, in some tutorials, especially the projects that they have mentioned, I tried to implement that and I was getting errors which I was unable to resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hortonworks Data Platform:

First learn all the concepts of BIG DATA and then move onto this platform to implement the things. Projects mentioned are really awesome and try to do that on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hortonworks Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am just into it with the aim to learn about BIG DATA and implement the things that I have learnt throughout the year. I had been implementing all the stuff by myself like hadoop, hive, pig etc but the speciality about these VM's is that they have everything preloaded and all you need to do is just import the VM and start playing.
