Distributed computing improves data processing while upgrade complexity needs addressing
There are challenges with upgrading or updating various services like Spark, Impala, and Hive on on-premise and bare metal solutions. We aim to address these issues with a Kubernetes-based platform that will simplify the task of upgrading services. We also wish to implement lakehouse capabilities with Iceberg or Delta Lake frameworks.

Has an adaptive approach, a friendly UI, and good integration capabilities
The Profisee user interface has positively impacted our data management. As a data architect and enterprise developer, I have seen that it is convenient for the data storage team to complete their work. The interface is visually clear and easy to understand, streamlining the entire process. Profisee's scalability and integration capabilities with other systems are highly effective, particularly within an Azure-centric environment. Its seamless integration with Azure services like Purview enables comprehensive data lifecycle management, including data lineage and management. Implementing Profisee has potentially made our time to market for new products and services more efficient. Qualifying master data and making it available downstream for data consumption seems smoother now. As a bank, our response to data availability might differ from other industries like advertising. Overall, I see positive impacts from using Profisee. I would recommend Profisee to others, but it depends on various factors such as how well it fits with their business domain, cost considerations, and resource availability. If they have centralized their data in Azure, Profisee is a no-brainer for data management. Overall, I would rate Profisee as an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"We use it for data science activities."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"The Hortonworks solution is so stable. It is working as a production system, without any error, without any downtime. If I have downtime, it is mostly caused by the hardware of the computers."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"It is a scalable platform."
"Cloudera Data Platform has significantly improved our data management."
"Ambari Web UI: user-friendly."
"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
 

Cons

"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"More information could be there to simplify the process of running the product."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"It would also be nice if there were less coding involved."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University, makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is priced well and it is affordable"
"Currently, we are using the product in a sandbox environment, and there is no licensing. We might choose a licensing option once we get the results."
"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
"The pricing is moderate, falling in the middle range—not excessively low nor overly expensive."
