Argyle Data vs Cloudera Data Platform comparison

Argyle Data has had the privilege of working with global leaders and visionaries on their strategies for revenue threat analytics, big data, and machine learning. What consistently comes up is that best-in-class carriers know the revenue threats that they have been attacked with in the past. What they don’t know is how to prepare for future attacks that will likely incorporate new types and methods of revenue threats.

What is critical to understand is that a) criminals are continually innovating; b) each subscriber will have many devices, many channels, and many potential attack points; and c) we need a better way to detect new fraud and protect customers and carriers in this new world – today in 2015, not in 2020.

This requires an effective strategy for the use of big data and machine learning in the areas of:

Fraud Threats

Analytics apps for identifying threats from various types of domestic fraud and roaming fraud

Profit Threats

Analytics apps for identifying threats from arbitrage, negative margin, high usage, and bill shock

SLA Threats

Analytics apps for identifying threats from network vulnerabilities and from roaming partners not meeting their SLA windows

Forensic Threats

Graph analysis application for analyzing 1st to 5th degrees of separation between data assets

Cloudera Data Platform offers a powerful fusion of Hadoop technology and user-centric tools, enabling seamless scalability and open-source flexibility. It supports large-scale data operations with tools like Ranger and Cloudera Data Science Workbench, offering efficient cluster management and containerization capabilities.

Designed to support extensive data needs, Cloudera Data Platform encompasses a comprehensive Hadoop stack, which includes HDFS, Hive, and Spark. Its integration with Ambari provides user-friendliness in management and configuration. Despite its strengths in scalability and security, Cloudera Data Platform requires enhancements in multi-tenant implementation, governance, and UI, while attribute-level encryption and better HDFS namenode support are also needed. Stability, especially regarding the Hue UI, financial costs, and disaster recovery are notable challenges. Additionally, integration with cloud storage and deployment methods could be more intuitive to enhance user experience, along with more effective support and community engagement.
