What do you like best about Mahout?

The best thing about Mahout is it sits on top of Hadoop systems and we can easily use data from Hadoop file systems to do analysis using Mahout. I've basically used it for a comparison analysis between Sparks MLib and Mahout. Mahout is more for a statistician and depends on the use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

The compute time is relatively slow when compared to other similar frameworks like Mlib and tenserflow. Also, there's no enterprise support as such and it's purely an open source framework with limited online knowledge repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mahout:

I would recommend to do a comparative analysis first before finalizing this product. The main concern is lack of enterprise support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mahout solving and how is that benefiting you?

Comparative analysis between different framework. The goal was to decide whoih machine learning framework to proceed with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a linear framework that is designed by Apache. Very assisting for engineers, mathematicians for working on their hypothesis. Helps in deploying large scale learning algorithms with short codes by this software. Also available in the models of ML that can assist to test and verify your data for usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

I have found no issue while using it. So I like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mahout:

I have used mahout for ML algorithms and processing and I have found it very useful. Its a time saver so I recommend it to all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mahout solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is great doe data processing and mining. Processes large amount of data in less time thus time saving. Features are very easy to understand so it is user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mahout?

Mahout is a great tool because I can use this for my financial workflows and run not only summary statistics, but also more advanced statistics. I can also do linear correlation along with autocorrelation in Mahout to find out discrepancies in our financial data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

I cant think of downsides for Mahout at all. It's a good tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mahout solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mahout is solving the issue of data consistency in our financial work. I can use it to easily run correlations with our financial data in less time and hire less people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mahout?

The inclusion of the comments as part of the analyzed text allows taking into account the user names (authors of the comments). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

It does not facilitate the inclusion of team members who contribute most in certain classes of change requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mahout solving and how is that benefiting you?

The input data is generated when you run the Rational Team Concert work item export tool. This tool generates a .csv file that includes the work item ID, summary, description, and comments with double quotes for a set of 500 sample tasks and change requests. The next step in preparing the input data is to create a Hadoop sequence file with a set of key and value pairs, one pair for each change request. The key is the ID of the work item and the value is the concatenation of the summary, description and comment attributes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
