Hortonworks Data Platform vs. IBM Analytics Engine

I recommend [Hortonworks Data Platform] as Big Data platform in order to start your developments. It's free. It's easy to use. You can install in more server or use a sandbox with you favorite virtualization platform ( vmware or oracle virtualbox). There is also a containerized version.

Manage our data in hdfs is simple; you can interact with server with REST API.

We are at present utilizing IBM Analytics Engine and it works incredible. Following are the things that I like the most about this product is:- - Simple to Utilize - Reasonable Cost - With only a couple seconds you can ready to fabricate and convey groups - you can without much of a stretch break down information through different applications

• It is a well suited data platform to support big data storage and analysis, with computational efficiency, good performance, and stability.
• It is free to use. Online development community is well supported. Hortonworks engineers seem to have good experience and skill sets.
• It is easy and fast to integrate with other tools or components for big data handling and analysis.

• We are able to build and deploy clusters within minutes to simplify user experience and increase scalability and reliability.
• We are able to scale and compute on-demand to handle newer workloads like machine learning.
• We really like that we are able to access and administer the application via multiple interfaces.

• As an open source project collection, it relies strongly on community activity. You still have the option to contract premium consulting or training services.
• Altough it is quickly evolving into Data Science tools availability (eg. Tensorflow incorporate in HDP 3), it can be cumbersome from a developer transitioning from a traditional IDE, into the notebook vs. datalake metaphore.
• As expected for a big data infranstructure, the resource requirements base line is rather high. This means that if used on premise, you need to think of about 10 machines for a minimal reasonable deploy.

• I would like to see a more robust version of their online help
• The speed of their business support is adequate, but I kind of expect more from such a powerhouse.
• Problems with duration of cluster life

While Apache Hadoop is completely open sourced, Hortonworks Data Platform offers support as well as keeps pace with the open source versions. Also, the HDP open sources its own products, thus giving back to the community. I find using the Hortonworks Data Platform more intuitive than Cloudera or MapR versions.

• I have been using Azure for my previous analysis, I had a difficult time in understanding the Analytics engine rather IBM provided step by step tutorial for setup.
• Also turning off a machine was not an option in Azure for some of the services so I had to pay for the service whether I use it or not

• It provides a convenient way of quickly setting up a big data environment, easily setting up clusters with different configurations. It provides several security architectures that can be used as well. Since it provides a big list of components and packaged together, it is a great tool for companies to get set and utilize it for their use cases.
• Since it uses Ambari extensively to install, upgrade and manage software, it is very convenient and easy to support and operationalize the components. Alerting and notifications, ability to create custom alerts give you the capability to add any number of alerts to meet your custom needs. It provides a great way to maintain other software by creating mpacks and the ability to add custom code, and you can add other software to be managed in a centralized tool.
• The use and support of popular and useful open source software and the company's contribution to the community makes HDP a very useful tool that enables a quick, secure, easily maintainable suite of components that can help companies meet the needs of the business. What is great is that new components keep getting added based on any new useful tool that comes available, like Druid, and made available as part of the suite of components. That helps businesses keep up with new capabilities as they become available, and use them to solve their problems.

• It has saved us quite a bit of time managing our catalog of clusters and keeping things organized.
• Since we had a division we acquired running IBM Cloud, it was easy to get it running and try it out, but we found we prefer our Azure configuration better simply to keep our technology in alignment across corporate functions.
• I definitely see some cost savings by separating out the storage and compute. It helps you start to put an appropriate price tag on certain instances of big data.
