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.

An amazing Hadoop distribution with fantastic UI

  • March 02, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • January 19, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

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

  • January 17, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

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

  • January 02, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

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.

Installs hadoop across multiple servers easily.
can manage hadoop clusters with cloudera manager easily.
Cloudera management service is nice to view metrics per servers.

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.

Great Platform for HBase

  • May 12, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

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
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)
