We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable."
"The product as a whole is good."
"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"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 in-memory database is excellent."
"The feature that I like the most is that we can transport the data to our web data application. SAP HANA's performance is really perfect. We're working on big data, and SAP HANA is really working on high performance. We are happy working with it."
"It's sufficed all of our requirements. We primarily needed it to run SAP applications, like NetWeaver or S/4HANA, and it has been really good at that."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"Provides us with predictive capabilities for asset maintenance, and real-time forecasts."
"All features are valuable."
"Anyone currently using SAP will be transitioning to HANA."
"Technically it resembles Oracle, but as a somewhat lighter version."
"They should focus on upgrading their technical capabilities in the market."
"It would be useful if Cloudera had more tools like SQL Engines that offer the traditional relational database. We have to do a lot of work preparing the data outside Cloudera before getting it into the platform."
"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."
"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 security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"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."
"The user experience should be better. Its user interface is not good. I also don't like the transition concept."
"The installation process could be more straightforward."
"It's a complex initial setup."
"I would like to see improvements in the connectivity of the solution with other BI software. Not every software can connect to it natively."
"It would be nice to know when SAP plans to stop its maintenance of a previous version of SAP ECC ERP because, at this point, anyone utilizing SAP will have no choice but to go on S/4HANA Database."
"High availability and disaster recovery are very poor in HANA."
"The JDBC connectors are very slow."
"The relationship with a partner that sells SAP could be better. We depend much more on our own development, and the partner is for selling us the solutions, so we need them to be able to supply help and answers. The partner isn't very helpful, and we have to rely on our own knowledge and research."
