Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop vs IBM Spectrum Computing comparison

"I don't see any performance issues."

"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."

"The solution is stable."

"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."

"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."

"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."

"The tool's most interesting features are the distributed file system and unstructured data processing capability. Because we have a lot of unstructured data, like XML and social media logs, these features make it more valuable than the usual data warehousing solutions."

"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."

"IBM's ability to cluster compute resources is impressive, with built-in support for scenarios like VR and active-active configurations,"

"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."

"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."

"The best features of IBM Spectrum Computing are common across many of their storage products."

"I have utilized IBM Spectrum Computing's intelligent workload management feature through Insights, which is connected to the cloud."

"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."

"The comparison was challenging, but the IBM Spectrum Scale offered a balanced solution. Our engineers rated itsanalytics capabilities equally high as Pure Storage. For workload management, Spectrum Computing provided effective solutions that met our needs. Workload management is part of a complete solution that uses different tools. There were the cloud and HPC parts; within HPC, there were parts like liquid cooling, simple computing, storage, and orchestration. The orchestration team handled the workload management."

"Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance."

"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."

"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."

"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."

"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."

"It would be useful if Cloudera had more tools like SQL Engines that offer the traditional relational database. We have to do a lot of work preparing the data outside Cloudera before getting it into the platform."

"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."

"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."

"The deduplication software isn't quite up to speed with the market."

"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."

"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."

"The deduplication software isn't quite up to speed with the market. While IBM has excellent compression technology, specifically on their FlashCore modules, they lag behind competitors such as NetApp in deduplication capabilities."

"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."

"IBM's sales and support structure can be challenging."

"We have not been able to use deduplication."

"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."

"The tool is expensive...For the SMB market or customers whose environments are not that complex and do not have multiple systems running, Cloudera might not be a good option."

"The price could be better for the product."

"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is expensive, with support costs involved."

"I believe we pay for a three-year license."

"The solution is fairly expensive."

"The price is very high. The solution is expensive."

"It is an expensive product."

"Cloudera requires a license to use."

"This solution is expensive."

"Spectrum Computing is one of the most expensive products on the market."
