Chose Azure HDInsight
Azure HD Insight is the one only used and it works well and serves its purpose. Azure Blob Storage could be an alternative, but if you really want to work on a large-scale workload, then HD analytics is best with Azure Data Lakes. PowerBI could be useful for small scale data …

If you want to save costs and just pay for what you use, I highly recommend it. It will help you also to work with data for your reports and analytics. on the other hand I think it could be the subscription you have but high volume of data make it slow but not so much. anyway I think it's really good because it's from Microsoft which always is friendly to use it as all the suit they have.

Pros
  • Shows live changes in analytics. Shows you how social media is working for us. Since we promote weekly events this is something that we really need to pay attention to.
  • Azure in itself is very user-friendly, HDInsight is a great addition. For our purposes, we definitely also utilized the power query to translate data to Excel.

Cons
  • Had issues while using Azure ARM Templates for deployments.
  • The cost structure suited for high end temporary data analytics, rather than a traditional frequently queried data warehouse.

Usability
Azure HDInsight is usable on the top of Azure Data Lake and gives us the benefit of analyzing large scale data workload in Hadoop. Usability and support from Microsoft are outstanding.

Inexpert, isolated teams... not good for support an excessively complex platform. Lots of weeks or months for a complex problem troubleshoot. Many time lost stuck on MindTree, before the case was finally escalated with Microsoft!

Many times you just need spark performing fast and cheap. Azure HDInsight Includes lots of features and not required software. Also its libraries and runtime versions are pritty old. But, what is great Is you don't need to have an expert in your team and things -when work- performs always in the exact same way. Also, as I mentioned, for a starter that's a great ROI.
