T Sarwar - PeerSpot reviewer
Data architect at SentientAI, Karachi
Has enabled efficient big data processing and querying but remains complex to manage and configure
Cloudera Data Platform should use fewer tools and remove the complexity between them. It should make it easier for the end user to change the configuration and understand it better. The UI tool for jobs in Cloudera Data Platform can be improved to provide a proper image of ETL jobs and detailed consolidated graphs to monitor Spark-based Hue jobs.

Consulting team maximizes cloud features while seeking workflow improvements
We are quite satisfied with the solution. The only issue we face is with the workflow feature. Every time we need to deploy our workflows, we must contact the Reltio Support Center. We have to rely on their availability and write to them to receive the required JAR files. They are slow to respond to these requests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my experience, the best features Cloudera Data Platform offers are that all the services provided are excellent."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) has helped our organization improve data management consistency and scalability across multiple environments, with the unified control plane and centralized governance reducing operational overhead and making it easier to manage workloads between on-premise and cloud environments."
"My main use case for Cloudera Data Platform is to support a multi-source system with different data types, handling semi-structured, structured, and unstructured data to support those kinds of workloads."
"Cloudera Data Platform has impacted my organization positively by providing cost-saving benefits, which is the North Star because of which we have shifted to it."
"We use it for data science activities."
"It is a scalable product, and the scalability is good. We can configure users."
"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"Reltio Cloud has positively impacted my organization by reducing the amount of manual effort needed and making it easy to manage downstream systems."
"There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"The matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."
"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"
"The cloud feature is very beneficial, and the scalability performance feature is excellent."
 

Cons

"A major drawback that I see with Cloudera Data Platform is that it tends to be one or two years behind the latest open-source implementation of the Apache toolkits such as Spark, Hive, and everything else, which relates to the guardrails of following compliance as the main driving factor, so that is something that could be done better on Cloudera Data Platform's side."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"Cloudera Data Platform can be improved in several areas. I recently attended their roadmap session. Whatever limitations they have identified involve moving data from on-premises to cloud as a single-pane view and better lineage."
"We face downtime and reliability issues many times a week with Cloudera Data Platform because it is a very complex system and all configurations are managed by the end user."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Cloudera Data Platform could improve by innovating more in terms of full-fledged support for AI workloads, enriching machine learning or LLM, as there haven't been updates in that aspect over the last one and a half years."
"The initial setup may take several hours or days, depending on the challenges faced during installation. It's not always a smooth process due to potential complexities."
"We face downtime and reliability issues many times a week with Cloudera Data Platform because it is a very complex system and all configurations are managed by the end user."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"The customer support is adequate, but not exceptional."
"Reltio Cloud can be improved by providing the possibility to connect with other connectors and databases such as Snowflake, Databricks, and eventually with Azure Data Factory."
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"Sometimes, the service goes down for maintenance or when we run a lot of jobs so things get pushed to the queue and results don't get delivered on time."
"The support team is slow to respond when we need assistance with workflow deployments. We must rely on their availability and contact them to receive the required JAR files."
"Reltio Cloud could be improved in two specific areas. Firstly, the API capability needs to be enhanced, as when utilizing the REST API and posting a significant amount of data, there are multiple rejections from the MDM side. This can be due to the MDM server not responding or being unable to process the request. Therefore, I suggest that the API capacity should be increased to handle larger amounts of data. Additionally, I have noticed that the response time from the servers can take up to a minute or a few seconds, which can be improved for a faster response time."
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is priced well and it is affordable"
"Currently, we are using the product in a sandbox environment, and there is no licensing. We might choose a licensing option once we get the results."
