What do you like best about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

Pepper data has been a leader in cloud performance for our enterprise. We specifically enable our tenants to use it for job time performance monitoring and to enable them to get accurate metrics on how well their jobs are performing and some metadata around those jobs. It functionally works very well and has a slick dashboard for drill down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

One of the major downsides we've had with the product has been around accuracy at higher intervals of time. For example, the metrics over a given week are pretty quick to load but if we should expand to a month or 6 months, the time to load is extremely long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pepperdata is helping to enable us chart application performance and get actionable metrics on user jobs and queries. We can see where the lags and hold ups are as well as get actionable cluster metadata. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Capacity optimist has been one of my companies best investments. Product pays for itself and maximizes hardware capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

Nothing. Best product for Hadoop and is already in great need of for K8. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

It automatically optimized code and resource requests. Instead of being stuck with a reservation system in Yarn and other schedulers, it automatically gives bad the extra resources that would otherwise not be available for other jobs decreasing performance greatly and ruining the ability to run so many jobs in parallel.

What do you like best about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

Pepperdata has been essential for my team. We use Apache data aggregation tools at scale; Pepperdata helps us to monitor memory and CPU usage with easy-to-read visualizations, warnings, and metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

Pepperdata can be difficult to setup on new nodes attached to our cloud infrastructure. When my team wanted to add a new server to perform computations, we would have had to go through quite a process to get Pepperdata-backed Jarfiles installed which would allow services to communicate and send info to the monitor. We ultimately chose to use in-house monitoring tools for the new installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pepperdata keeps performance and usage of on-prem resources in check by throwing warnings for apps which exceed configurable resource limits, and can track usage stats per-application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ashish Sahu of Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer

Thank you for your review. We recently spent a lot of time working on improving our cloud installation procedures to simplify the process. We offer bootstrap scripts for all of our supported cloud technologies: Most cluster administrators choose this option and can add Pepperdata to an existing bootstrap script in five minutes or less.

What do you like best about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

I love the easy-to-use interface to see various cluster metrics like Top CPU-Cost Apps and Top Memory-Cost Apps as you can use these to make informed decisions for the cluster and applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

Looking up specific metrics takes a little digging around. It would be nice if some of the most relevant fields floated to the top for easy selection. Right now you have to choose a category and then dig further into subcategories for what you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pepperdata helps us make informed decisions on application/query performance and this helps us to get to the destination state much faster. The great dashboard visuals make it very easy to understand the data and metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ashish Sahu of Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer

Thank you for the review. It’s great to hear that you are utilizing our Top Apps sections for actionable insights!
