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.

Frequent updates, helpful search capabilities, and high quality support
In my earliest use cases, MarkLogic was used for XML-based operations. I worked a lot in the publishing industry. The solution can be deployed on-premise and on the cloud At the American Psychological Association when we used the search in MarkLogic it was what interested me the most because it…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is Impala, the querying engine, which is very fast."
"The data science aspect of the solution is valuable."
"The product is completely secure."
"Cloudera, as a whole, is designed to provide organizations with solutions for big data."
"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."
"CDH has a wide variety of proprietary tools that we use, like Impala. So from that perspective, it's quite useful as opposed to something open-source. We get a lot of value from Cloudera's proprietary tools."
"Very good end-to-end security features."
"The product as a whole is good."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"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."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."
"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 wouldn't recommend CDH to others because of its high cost."
"When comparing with Oracle Sybase and SQL, it's cheaper. It's not expensive."
"It is an expensive product."
"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."
"The price is very high. The solution is expensive."
"Cloudera requires a license to use."
"The price could be better for the product."
"I believe we pay for a three-year license."
"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."
