Cassandra vs Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop comparison

"The most valuable feature of Cassandra is its fast retrieval. Additionally, the solution can handle large amounts of data. It is the quickest application we use."

"Our primary use case for the solution is testing."

"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."

"The most valuable features are the counter features and the NoSQL schema. It also has good scalability. You can scale Cassandra to any finite level."

"The technical evaluation is very good."

"The solution's database capabilities are very good."

"Since I haven't had years of experience with it, it's still new to me. One valuable feature is its distribution, so I can run it partly in the cloud and part on-prem. That's a feature I'd like to use but haven't yet because we're trying to move to Azure. I don't know if or when that will happen. Ideally, we'd have it distributed over the cloud and on-prem simultaneously, so if something happens to our on-prem, we can keep going in the cloud, like a pay-as-you-go model with Azure."

"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."

"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."

"Very good end-to-end security features."

"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."

"The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable."

"The tool's most interesting features are the distributed file system and unstructured data processing capability. Because we have a lot of unstructured data, like XML and social media logs, these features make it more valuable than the usual data warehousing solutions."

"The file system is a valuable feature."

"The data science aspect of the solution is valuable."

"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"Cassandra could be more user-friendly like MongoDB."

"It can be difficult to analyze what's going on inside of the database relative to other databases. It can also be difficult to troubleshoot sometimes."

"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."

"There were challenges with the query language and the development interface. The query language, in particular, could be improved for better optimization. These challenges were encountered while using the Java SDK."

"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."

"I want Cassandra to update its open-source version more quickly. It's already feature-rich, but I'd appreciate better integration with other NoSQL databases like MariaDB or MongoDB. If I ever need to work with customers or vendors using different NoSQL databases, having native integration in Cassandra would make managing and interacting with their databases much easier."

"Doesn't support a solution that can give aggregation."

"Maybe they can improve their performance in data fetching from a high volume of data sets."

"The price of this solution could be lowered."

"The solution does not support multiple languages very well and this means users need to create work-arounds to implement some solutions."

"The tool doesn't support reporting, and relational databases are still the major source of reporting data. Apache Iceberg will be launched soon within the Cloudera cluster for analytical purposes. The Cloudera Machine Learning aspect could be tuned and enhanced to enable us to host some predictive analytics machine learning and AI use cases."

"The governance aspect of the solution should be improved."

"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on."

"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."

"The competitors provide better functionalities."

"The one thing that we struggled with predominately was support. Because it was relatively new, support was always a big issue and I think it's still a bit of an ongoing concern with the team currently managing it."

"There are licensing fees that must be paid, but I'm not sure if they are paid monthly or yearly."

"I use the tool's open-source version."

"I don't have the specific numbers on pricing, but it was fairly priced."

"We pay for a license."

"We are using the open-source version of Cassandra, the solution is free."

"Cassandra is a free open source solution, but there is a commercial version available called DataStax Enterprise."

"The price is very high. The solution is expensive."

"When comparing with Oracle Sybase and SQL, it's cheaper. It's not expensive."

"The pricing must be improved."

"The solution is expensive."

"I wouldn't recommend CDH to others because of its high cost."

"The product’s price depends from project to project."

"The price could be better for the product."

"The tool is not expensive."
