Featured Reviews

Shahan Rehman - PeerSpot reviewer
Can host multiple technologies and help businesses with their AI initiatives
The ease or difficulty in setting up the product depends on the environment of the customer where the tool is deployed. If a banking, industrial, or retail sector firm is taken into concentration, depending on how big of a database is maintained, including the applications that are to be hosted, the deployment process can range from a simple to a very complex phase, depending on the architecture. For Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop, one has to go through the usual deployment process, like for any software product. You have to have different environments before going into production, like pre-production environments, test and dev environments. You install and configure all the components in the test environment and then test them on the pre-production environment. Once UAT is done, you move them to the production environment. In general, it's a critical product deployed in a company.
Beverly R. Jamison - PeerSpot reviewer
Frequent updates, helpful search capabilities, and high quality support
MarkLogic's greatest asset is its strong engineering foundation. It was specifically designed with search capabilities in mind, and the developers placed a great emphasis on ensuring the quality of the indexing and all subsequent layers that were added. The solution has been good at providing the updates that were what we were hoping for. They frequently update the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The file system is a valuable feature."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"The product as a whole is good."
"The solution is stable."
"MarkLogic's greatest asset is its strong engineering foundation. It was specifically designed with search capabilities in mind, and the developers placed a great emphasis on ensuring the quality of the indexing and all subsequent layers that were added."
"The rules can show us if there are missing items, like titles, and we can add them in to ensure everything is filled and makes sense and there are no missing details."
 

Cons

"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there is a lot of things that need to improve."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"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 spreadsheet capabilities could be improved."
"One of the most common requests is to improve the user interface of the database. While it is primarily a database, there are other databases available that offer more user-friendly interfaces. The UI is good for developers but not for regular users. More visuals would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe we pay for a three-year license."
"When comparing with Oracle Sybase and SQL, it's cheaper. It's not expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product’s price depends from project to project."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The price is very high. The solution is expensive."
"I haven't bought a license for this solution. I'm only using the Apache license version."
"The tool is expensive...For the SMB market or customers whose environments are not that complex and do not have multiple systems running, Cloudera might not be a good option."
"MarkLogic is a pricey option, but there are some advantages to its pricing structure. For medium-sized clients or departments within larger companies, it is possible to obtain a license for one or two nodes for less than a hundred thousand dollars. Additionally, if you only need to deploy a single node, you can do so for under fifty thousand dollars. This is in contrast to other high-quality software options that are only accessible to larger businesses, where the starting price can be upwards of two hundred thousand dollars."
