What do you like best about the product?
The capacity optimizer helped us to reduce the wastage on EMR clusters and increased the efficiency. For one of the clusters - the savings was as big as 75%. For others we are seeing atleast 30% savings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs fine tuning multiple times, I would love to see some automated feedback in place to recommend the right set of settings based on the workloads.

Save money on your big data workloads

What do you like best about the product?
The capacity optimizer has been proven to save a lot of money. What I like best about the product, though, is the support we have received throughout our journey of migrating our EMR clusters from EC2 to EKS.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some features that need to be worked out for EMR on EKS and EMR Notebooks, but the Pepperdata team is actively working on these. These are relatively new offerings, so it's not surprising that there is still some work that needs to be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The optimizer's main benefit is cost savings on compute, specifically with workloads running on EMR.

Capacity Optimizer helps Pepperdata Pay for Itself
Reviewed on Jul 26, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Upsides are that if its working correctly it can justify the cost of running Pepperdata. Pepperdata provides Capacity Optimizer data and reporting so you can keep tabs on its effectivness.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure I have any specific dislikes as it tends to just run itself and needs little to no care and feeding from our side. Will be interested to see how or if we get similar results in saving with our spark workloads on kubernetes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its allowing us to best utlize the compute we have available for our workloads.

Almost 10 years of experience making the most out of capacity optimizer!

What do you like best about the product?
Capacity optimist has been one of my companies best investments. Product pays for itself and maximizes hardware capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Best product for Hadoop and is already in great need of for K8.
What problems is the product 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.
