Azure Data Lake AnalyticsBlacklight
Likelihood to Recommend
For us we have an enterprise of SQL users at all skill levels, and this product is very SQL friendly and extremely fast in creation of data aggregates and analysis.

Cons
  • There's a bit of bias towards cloud with ADL Analytics. Depending upon a company's infra strategy and investment plans, there are some challenges with migration and integeration.
  • Not worth the time/effort/money if the organization doesn't have "Volume" of data. Cost effective only when daily loads exceed around 1million.
  • While training materials are available online, Adoption rate - Yet to pick up.

  • We are also sparing some money by comparing the costs now against the costs we had on-premise.
