Reliable performance maintained but requires ongoing management and support
Hadoop was used for years, but there were problems since the people who originally set it up left the firm. The group that owned it later didn't have the technical resources to properly maintain it. Although there was nothing wrong with Hadoop itself, issues arose without proper management and upgrades.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's stability is good."
"Hadoop is more for analytical processing, and while other databases claim to have a distributor, Hadoop is far better in that regard and is excellent compared to other options."
"They have integrated other tools as well, like Power BI and Oracle BI, both on Azure, for reporting. Oracle BI is difficult to integrate."
"The most important feature is its ability to handle large volumes, as some of our customers have really large volumes, and it is capable of handling their data in terms of the core volume and daily incremental volume, so its processing power and speed are most valuable."
"The performance is pretty good."
"With the increase in data size for the business, this horizontal scalable appliance has answered every business question in terms of storage and processing."
"Hadoop is good for analytics and some reporting requirements."
"Hadoop has also made it feasible to have all the data available in one area."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
 

Cons

"In terms of processing speed, I believe that some of this software as well as the Hadoop-linked software can be better."
"The solution needs a better tutorial."
"Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support."
"There are certain shortcomings when it comes to the product's technical support part, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It requires a great deal of learning curve to understand."
"The upgrade path should be improved because it is not as easy as it should be."
"The problem with Apache Hadoop arose when the guys that originally set it up left the firm, and the group that later owned it didn't have enough technical resources to properly maintain it."
"It would be helpful to have more information on how to best apply this solution to smaller organizations, with less data, and grow the data lake."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is open-source, but some associated licensing fees depend on the subscription level."
"We just use the free version."
"Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
"We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."
"This is a low cost and powerful solution."
"It's reasonable, but there's room for improvement in cost-effectiveness."
"For any big enterprise the costs can be handled, and it is suitable for big enterprises because the scale of data is large. For medium and small enterprises, the tool is on the high-price side."
"If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
