Cloudera Data Science Workbench vs. HPE Data Fabric

• If you already have a Cloudera partnership and a cluster, having this is a no brainer.
• It integrates well with your existing ecosystem and it immediately starts working on projects, accessing full datasets and share analysis and results.
• With the inclusion of Kubernetes, CPU and memory across worker nodes can be managed effectively.

If you need Hadoop and just need raw speed for I/O and have a Hadoop savvy group of engineers who don't need/like web UIs, then MapR is a great fit for you. If you are new to Hadoop or have DevOps folks that are not Hadoop gurus, choosing MapR as your Hadoop vendor will have a steeper learning curve as you will need to do more training and build more admin consoles for them.

• Enterprise grade security.
• Self-service analytics platform.
• Popular programming support.

• MapR allows easy integration with HBase and MapR DB.
• Easy trial server setup for product testing.
• Excellent training program to help new users get up-to-date with MapR and related products.

Incentivized

• Not as great as RStudio; lacks some features when compared with it
• It is quite simple still (because its very early in its initiative), and companies may want to wait until they see a more developed product

• I think MapR's main problem is name recognition. Hortonworks and Cloudera both are big names in the industry, but their deployment mechanisms are a little more difficult to use, especially when trying to fully automate it's deployment.
• Documentation could always be better. But really, if that's your main weakness, it's everybody's weakness.

It is expensive and difficult to install and maintain.

Since our organization had already implemented Cloudera Data Platform as our Big Data Warehouse platform, implementing CDSW as the go-to Analytic and Data Science Platform is the most logical and cost-effective decision to make. It integrates seamlessly with our CDH clusters and it also provides enterprise-grade security for on-premise implementation.

Hortonworks and Cloudera are both sort of hacky. We have to do a lot of extra steps to automate those two. MapR has far fewer issues and doesn't force you into a once size fits all deployment scenario. There are multiple ways to deploy and some are more amenable to automation, MapR just has that in spades

• Paid off for demonstration purposes.

• Less manual intervention for maintaining a cluster.
