Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's good for storing historical data and handling analytics on a huge amount of data.""The most valuable feature is the database.""Hadoop File System is compatible with almost all the query engines.""It is a file system for data collection. There are nodes in this cluster that contain all the information, directories, and other files. The nodes are based on the MySQL database.""It's open-source, so it's very cost-effective.""The most valuable features are powerful tools for ingestion, as data is in multiple systems.""Initially, with RDBMS alone, we had a lot of work and few servers running on-premise and on cloud for the PoC and incubation. With the use of Hadoop and ecosystem components and tools, and managing it in Amazon EC2, we have created a Big Data "lab" which helps us to centralize all our work and solutions into a single repository. This has cut down the time in terms of maintenance, development and, especially, data processing challenges.""I liked that Apache Hadoop was powerful, had a lot of tools, and the fact that it was free and community-developed."

"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture.""The solution improved our site reliability.""The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible.""The security is great.""It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop.""I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols.""RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase.""The solution can scale."

Cons
"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.""There is a lack of virtualization and presentation layers, so you can't take it and implement it like a radio solution.""The stability of the solution needs improvement.""Hadoop's security could be better.""I would like to see more direct integration of visualization applications.""The solution needs a better tutorial. There are only documents available currently. There's a lot of YouTube videos available. However, in terms of learning, we didn't have great success trying to learn that way. There needs to be better self-paced learning.""It would be helpful to have more information on how to best apply this solution to smaller organizations, with less data, and grow the data lake.""The load optimization capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Apache Hadoop Cons →

"RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux.""One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle.""The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles.""They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often.""They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great.""VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system.""The solution needs improvement on performance.""The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
  • "This is a low cost and powerful solution."
  • "The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
  • "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."
  • "We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."
  • "The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
  • "We just use the free version."
  • More Apache Hadoop Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer: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.
    Top Answer:Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support. So, you have to have deeper knowledge. You need to improvise based on that.
    Top Answer:IBM MQ has a great reputation behind it, and this solution is very robust with great stability. It is easy to use, simple to configure and integrates well with our enterprise ecosystem and protocols… more »
    Top Answer:It’s an open-source solution. There are no expenses for using it.

    Overview
    The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

    VMware Tanzu is a robust platform tailored for data warehousing, complex analytics, BI applications, and predictive analytics. It excels in scalability, performance, and parallel processing, enhancing data handling efficiency. Users report significant productivity improvements and streamlined operations, making it ideal for comprehensive data solutions.
