Sushil Arya - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides ease of integration with the IT workflow of a business
When working with Kafka, I saw that the data came in an incremental order. The incremental data processing part is still not very effective in Apache Hadoop. If the data is already there, it can be processed very effectively, especially if the data is coming in every second. If you want to know the location of some data every second, then such data is not processed effectively in Apache Hadoop. I can say that one of the features where improvements are required revolves around the licensing cost of the tool. If the tool can build some licensing structures in a pay-per-use manner, organizations can get the look and feel of Apache Hadoop. Apache Hadoop can offer a licensing structure of the product that can be seen as similar to how AWS operates. Apache Hadoop can look into the capability of processing incremental data. The tool's setup process can be a scope of improvement. Also, it is not very simple because while doing the setup, we need to do all the server settings, including port listing and firewall configurations. If we look at other products on the market, then they can be made simpler. There are certain shortcomings when it comes to the product's technical support part, making it an area where improvements are required. The time frame for the resolution is an area that needs to be improved. The overall communication part of the technical support team also needs improvement.

Provides self-repair features, but the setup is complex
We use the product for online applications. We use it in the financial industry The product has self-repair features. The tool tunes itself. It separates compute from storage. We can scale storage and compute separately. The setup is complex. Oracle is a complex tool. I have been using Oracle…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We selected Apache Hadoop because it is not dependent on third-party vendors."
"The most important feature is its ability to handle large volumes. Some of our customers have really large volumes, and it is capable of handling their data in terms of the core volume and daily incremental volume. So, its processing power and speed are most valuable."
"Its integration is Hadoop's best feature because that allows us to support different tools in a big data platform."
"Its flexibility in handling and storing large volumes of data is particularly beneficial, as is its resilience, which ensures data redundancy and fault tolerance."
"The most valuable feature is the database."
"Most valuable features are HDFS and Kafka: Ingestion of huge volumes and variety of unstructured/semi-structured data is feasible, and it helps us to quickly onboard a new Big Data analytics prospect."
"Since both Apache Hadoop and Amazon EC2 are elastic in nature, we can scale and expand on demand for a specific PoC, and scale down when it's done."
"I recommend it for the telecom sector. I know it well, and it's a good fit."
"The solution integrates well with Power BI."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."
"The solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."
"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."
"The product has self-repair features."
"Self-patching and runs machine-learning across its logs all the time"
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
 

Cons

"The integration with Apache Hadoop with lots of different techniques within your business can be a challenge."
"Hadoop's security could be better."
"The solution could use a better user interface. It needs a more effective GUI in order to create a better user environment."
"There is a lack of virtualization and presentation layers, so you can't take it and implement it like a radio solution."
"The solution is not easy to use. The solution should be easy to use and suitable for almost any case connected with the use of big data or working with large amounts of data."
"The load optimization capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Improvements in security measures would be beneficial, given the large volumes of data handled."
"From the Apache perspective or the open-source community, they need to add more capabilities to make life easier from a configuration and deployment perspective."
"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."
"Ease of connectivity could be improved."
"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"The setup is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's reasonable, but there's room for improvement in cost-effectiveness."
"For any big enterprise the costs can be handled, and it is suitable for big enterprises because the scale of data is large. For medium and small enterprises, the tool is on the high-price side."
"The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
"​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
"This is a low cost and powerful solution."
"Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
"If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
"The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"ROI is high."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
"Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."

It's primarily open source. You can handle huge data volumes and create your own views, workflows, and tables. I can also use it for real-time data streaming.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Apache Hadoop?
The product is open-source, but some associated licensing fees depend on the subscription level. While it might be free for students, organizations typically need to pay for their subscriptions. Th...
What needs improvement with Apache Hadoop?
Hadoop lacks OLAP capabilities. I recommend adding a Delta Lake feature to make the data compatible with ACID properties. Also, video and audio streaming import issues could be improved to ensure p...
