Featured Reviews

Arnab Chatterjee - PeerSpot reviewer
It's flexible and easily accessible across multiple locations, but the upgrade process is complicated
Upgrading Ezmeral to a new version is a pain. They're trying to make the solution more container-friendly, so I think they're going in the right direction. The only problem we've had in the past was the upgrades. The process isn't smooth due to how the Red Hat operating system upgrades currently work. They're transforming their host stack to increase cloud readiness and edge compute capability. HPE is transitioning from a standard data-driven approach to one powered by AI analytics. That's something they have released very recently. I haven't tried that, but it will probably make things easier. The ability to adapt Ezmeral to the public cloud is probably missing. I've heard that they're getting leaner. However, it doesn't have a clear managed services offering for you if you want to deploy this stack on the cloud. That's a problem. This probably won't meet your needs if you require consistency across on-prem and the cloud. It's not Ezmeral's fault. None of the products would fit the bill. Cloud offerings are biased towards their own implementation. It's a general issue on most big data platforms. They're already working towards that, but it hasn't been released.

Stable with limited administration needed but it's coming up on its end of life
I'm not sure if Netezza offers a cloud version of the solution or not, but if they don't they should. Most companies are focused on moving towards the cloud. If it was on a cloud it would offer certain scalability and performance aspects it can't offer as a physical appliance. I'm not sure of IBM's roadmap currently, as the solution is coming up on its end of life.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The model creation was very interesting, especially with the libraries provided by the platform."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"My customers find the product cheaper compared to other solutions. The previous solution that we used did not have unified analytics like the runtime or the analog."
"I like the administration part."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."
"For me, as an end-user, everything that I do on the solution is simple, clear, and understandable."
"Data compression. It was relatively impressive. I think at some point we were getting 4:1 compression if not more."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"Speed contributes to large capacity."
"The performance of the solution is its most valuable feature. The solution is easy to administer as well. It's very user-friendly. On the technical side, the architecture is simple to understand and you don't need too many administrators to handle the solution."
"It is a back end for our SSIS, MicroStrategy,, Tableau. All of these are connecting to get the data. To do so we are also using our analytics which is built on the data."
"The need for administration involvement is quite limited on the solution."
 

Cons

"Upgrading Ezmeral to a new version is a pain. They're trying to make the solution more container-friendly, so I think they're going in the right direction. The only problem we've had in the past was the upgrades. The process isn't smooth due to how the Red Hat operating system upgrades currently work."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"The deployment could be faster. I want more support for the data lake in the next release."
"Having the ability to extend the services provided by the platform to an API architecture, a micro-services architecture, could be very helpful."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"I'm not sure of IBM's roadmap currently, as the solution is coming up on its end of life."
"This product is being discontinued from IBM, and I would like to have some kind of upgrade available."
"The Analytics feature should be simplified."
"In-DB processing with SAS Analytics, since this is supposed to be an analytics server so the expectation is there."
"The solution could implement more reporting tools and networking utilities."
"Administration of this product is too tough. It's very complex because of the tools which it's missing."
"Disaster recovery support. Because it was an appliance, and if you wanted to support disaster recovery, you needed to buy two."
"The most valuable features of this solution are robustness and support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap and based on a usage basis. The solution's licensing costs are yearly and there are no extra costs."
"HPE is flexible with you if you are an existing customer. They offer different models that might be beneficial for your organization. It all depends on how you negotiate."
"There is a need for my company to pay for the licensing costs of the solution."
"Expensive to maintain compared to other solutions."
"For me, mainly, it reduces my costs. It's not only the appliance cost. There are also support costs and a maintenance costs. It does reduce the costs very drastically."
"The annual licensing fees are twenty-two percent of the product cost."
