Considered Both Products
Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
We only evaluated but never implemented Vertica since apart from poor customer support we noticed that it also missed some data warehouse capabilities that would suit our needs.
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
Cloudera is a great choice because it provides fast streaming data for tracking, breaks down silos by providing unified self-service platforms for data-driven insights,
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
Cloudera is compatible with Windows operating systems, and Mac allows cloud-based deployment, it is also very useful to configure data encryption, guarantee
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
Cloudera supports Impala and Hortonworks supports LLAP and both of them are good in terms of performance. Hortonworks uses more up to date technology support in terms of supported versions.
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
It was the first and best Hadoop distribution when we started years ago. But the situation changed now and if given a choice, may end up choosing something else.
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
It was selected for lab testing and definitely have positive experience.
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
I have used Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute EC2, Windows Azure. But the difference with these products and Cloudera is Amazon and Azure are more costly. But Cloudera is best because of Data sensitivity and privacy. We have all the shareholder activity data for funds that business …
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
I have not evaluated any similar products, and in fact, don't know of any direct competitor. Amazon's Redshift has a similar spirit.
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
A deep bench of Hadoop experts, major contributions to the Hadoop open source community and a solid head start getting market recognition, skills and awareness across the teams.
Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
The cloudera products have a great custom pick and choose template to manage big data
Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks is a true all-in-one platform, and at the time of implementation, it had more features available to us, making it a clear choice over Snowflake. Moving our workloads from local computing to the servers in Databricks gave our start-up staff a great quality of life …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Compared to Synapse & Snowflake, Databricks provides a much better development experience, and deeper configuration capabilities.
It works out-of-the-box but still allows you intricate customisation of the environment.
I find Databricks very flexible and resilient at the same …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
The most important differentiating factor for Databricks Lakehouse Platform from these other platforms is support for ACID transactions and the time travel feature. Also, native integration with managed MLflow is a plus. EMR, Cloudera, and Hortonworks are not as optimized when …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks has a much better edge than Synapse in hundred different ways. Databricks has Photon engine, faster available release in cloud and databricks does not run on Open source spark version so better optimization, better performance and better agility and all kind of …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks [Lakehouse Platform (Unified Analytics Platform)] can work with all data types in their original format while Snowflake requires additional structures to fit the data before loading it. Databricks is open source so potential is far greater.
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks provides support for CURD operations by introducing Delta Lake file format.
Cloudera doesn't have support for the same.
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks was picked among other competitors. Closest competition in our organization was H2O.ai and Databricks came out to be more useful for ROI and time to market in our internal research.
We could have used AWS products, however Databricks notebooks and ability to launch …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
When we started using it, only the notebook experience was mature. However, DB was very helpful giving us direct support to get onto their platform. Really there was little in the way to compare to them at the time. AWS has services but not the same low-cost angle.
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
I also use Microsoft Azure Machine Learning in parallel with Databricks. They use different file formats which teach me to be flexible and able to write different programs. They are equally useful to me and I would like to master both platforms for any future usage. I do prefer …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Easier to set up and get started. Less of a learning curve.

If you need a managed big data megastore, which has native integration with highly optimized Apache Spark Engine and native integration with MLflow, go for Databricks Lakehouse Platform. The Databricks Lakehouse Platform is a breeze to use and analytics capabilities are supported out of the box. You will find it a bit difficult to manage code in notebooks but you will get used to it soon.

Pros
  • One of the oldest distributors of enterprise standard Hadoop.
  • Distribution is based on open source Hadoop even though customizations are done on top of that.
  • Faster updates and bug fixes to the products as they have Apache committers.
  • Central configuration and control of your Hadoop platform (but still needs improvements).

  • There is databricks community, which is a free version. It is available for beginners to have an easy start with a big data platform. It does not have every feature of the full version but is still adequate for extremely new coders.
  • There are many resourceful training elements that are available to developers, data scientists, data engineers and other IT professionals to learn Apache Spark.

Cons
  • Not fully Open Source, couple of components of the distributions are privately owned, meaning with public contributions are not welcome
  • Improvements to Cloudera manager can only be recommended. its very hard to get it done once recommended as the full control is with them.
  • Should make components more aligned to Open Source rather than making it closed sourced.
  • Custom Features of open source software tools supported only by Cloudera are tricky. Cant commit changes to tools like Hue.
  • Improvements to Cluster Management tool is required, which are already available to its competitors.

  • Connect my local code in Visual code to my Databricks Lakehouse Platform cluster so I can run the code on the cluster. The old databricks-connect approach has many bugs and is hard to set up. The new Databricks Lakehouse Platform extension on Visual Code, doesn't allow the developers to debug their code line by line (only we can run the code).
  • Maybe have a specific Databricks Lakehouse Platform IDE that can be used by Databricks Lakehouse Platform users to develop locally.
  • Visualization in MLFLOW experiment can be enhanced

Likelihood to Renew
Likely to renew the use in case the requirements for Cloudera remain valid. The rapid change in customer requirements and solutions that must be validated, integrated or tested changes. As the maturity of the solution increases, the requirements to renew use decrease. From a solution feature perspective by itself would probably grade 10.

One of the best customer and technology support that I have ever experienced in my career. You pay for what you get and you get the Rolls Royce. It reminds me of the customer support of SAS in the 2000s when the tools were reaching some limits and their engineer wanted to know more about what we were doing, long before "data science" was even a name. Databricks truly embraces the partnership with their customer and help them on any given challenge.

Return on Investment
  • Cloudera products are the most widely. It is more business friendly as data is more secure. The sensitive data that you operate on is local to you and your project rather than processing this data on Cloud.
  • Cloudera is definitely faster as wait time is reduced if on Cloud.
  • A lot range of products are covered. So it is definitely good for businesses and had good returns on investments.
