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

"Hadoop is designed to be scalable, so I don't think that it has limitations in regards to scalability."
"One valuable feature is that we can download data."
"Because we're able to process in parallel, we don't have to wait for the big data warehouse engine, we process down what the data is and then build it up to an answer, and we can have an answer in an hour rather than 10 hours."
"Its integration is Hadoop's best feature because that allows us to support different tools in a big data platform."
"The platform's quick data processing capabilities have been instrumental in supporting our AI-driven projects."
"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 ability to add multiple nodes without any restriction is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The Distributed File System, which is the base of Hadoop, has been the most valuable feature with its ability to store video, pictures, JSON, XML, and plain text all in the same file system."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
"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."
 

Cons

"The main thing is the lack of community support. If you want to implement a new API or create a new file system, you won't find easy support."
"It's good for what is meant to do, a lot of big data, but it's not as good for low latency applications."
"There are certain shortcomings when it comes to the product's technical support part, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The integration with Apache Hadoop with lots of different techniques within your business can be a challenge."
"It needs better user interface (UI) functionalities."
"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."
"In general, stability can be a challenge."
"Currently, Apache Oozie 4.0.1 has some compatibility issues with Hadoop 2.5.2."
"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."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's reasonable, but there's room for improvement in cost-effectiveness."
"The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
"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."
"The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
"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."
"This is a low cost and powerful solution."
"We just use the free version."
"​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
