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 product is completely secure."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"Cloudera, as a whole, is designed to provide organizations with solutions for big data."
"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 solution is stable."
"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"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

"They should focus on upgrading their technical capabilities in the market."
"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"The competitors provide better functionalities."
"Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance."
"The solution does not support multiple languages very well and this means users need to create work-arounds to implement some solutions."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"The price of this solution could be lowered."
"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."
"Cloudera requires a license to use."
"It is an expensive product."
"The solution is fairly expensive."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The pricing must be improved."
"I haven't bought a license for this solution. I'm only using the Apache license version."
"When comparing with Oracle Sybase and SQL, it's cheaper. It's not expensive."
"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."
