An amazing Hadoop distribution with fantastic UI
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
CDH is comparatively slower than other distributions. In addition to that, it's setup and configuration can be often hard and confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using CDH for HIVE, HDFS and HBASE majorly. With help of this distribution we were able to streamline our products including Informatica Enterprise Information Catalog (EIC) or Live Data Map and Intelligent Data Lake.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you heard about this product, I would suggest you to give it a shot. It might be best thing that has ever happened to you.
It has great User friendly interface and search features if you are looking into configurations.

The easiest-to-use big data platform out there
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudera Manager. By far the best integrated system for administrating Hadoop clusters.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work at a company that integrates with Cloudera Manager with other systems in dataflow pipelines. Using Cloudera is the easiest of the big data platforms that we use.
Effective in managing all hadoop services
What do you like best about the product?
It is effective in managing all hadoop services, configuring parameters, and monitoring the hadoop status in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is really hard to keep software up to date or allow users to install softwares by themselves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manage data pipeline for daily reporting and analytics tasks.
It helps us to organize our nightly data workflow and visualized the progress and resource used.

Great Hadoop OS that has good support and stability
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
Need to be experience to really know how to use the advanced features. Any tech savy engineer can learn this relatively quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to store large amount of data that can be used to retain and also ability to process and derived data. While it is not a deep tool for one particular feature. It is very good for many different things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product that meets our needs and also ended up being our Enterprise version used.
CDH and CM
What do you like best about the product?
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).

What do you dislike about the product?
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...)

managing hadoop clusters using CDH's version is easy.
Best commercial hadoop distribution product
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use our hortonworks hadoop cluster to process web & email logs. It has enabled us to process huge volume of data much quicker.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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.
Better than plain hadoop
What do you like best about the product?
It does make administrating and writing code in hadoop a lot easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of extra configurations to do. Its not a con but I was confused as a beginner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using it for my thesis. It does help to administer hadoop lot better
Cloudera for Big data platforms
What do you like best about the product?
Increased performance and processing times
What do you dislike about the product?
Dependency on Mappers.I am yet to explore to be able to thoroughly review.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Loading unstructured data leads to less processing time when a query is sunbmitted
Easy to understand Tutorials
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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.
Great Platform for HBase
What do you like best about the product?
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

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Focussed mainly on HBase and not on the entire Hadoop ecosystem
2. Not a great support team on Hadoop in general
2. Not a great support team on Hadoop in general
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building Catalog and Analytics cluster for major retailers where we can provide customizable customer experience to all customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want only HBase, then cloudera is the way to go. But if you are looking at a holistic view of Hadoop and utilizing other projects under Hadoop, then I would recommend Hortonworks because of their larger knowledge base (found it the hard way and now migrating from Cloudera to Hortonworks)
