    Actifile
    For data control as it works in the background and identify sensitive data and secures it by encrypting the PHI and PII type of data. Also it is very useful if you need to set rbac for your users within the organisation as it let you control what each user can access and action they can take.

    • Well suited for my big data related project or a static data set analysis especially for uploading huge dataset to the cluster.
    • But had some issues with connecting IoT real-time data and feeding to Power BI. It might be my understanding please take it as a mere comment rather than a suggestion.

    IBM
    • Easier pricing and plug-and-play like you see with AWS and Azure, it would be nice from a budgeting and billing standpoint, as well as better support for the administration.
    • Bundling of the Cloud Object Storage should be included with the Analytics Engine.
    • The inability to add your own Hadoop stack components has made some transfers a little more complex.

    Usability
    Actifile
    It has been very helpful as it has reduced the number of traditional system and software that is being used and it does the work of 5 softwares in 1. Also it has been useful as I don't have to worry about the number of resources as one admin can help us maintain the data and its policy.

    We initially wanted to go with Google BigQuery, mainly for the name recognition. However, the pricing and support structure led us to seek alternatives, which pointed us to IBM. Apache Spark was also in the running, but here IBM's domination in the industry made the choice a no-brainer. As previously stated, the support received was not quite what we expected, but was adequate.

    Return on Investment
    Actifile
    • It has been a great addition to the application and software our org usage and the ROI has been great. As it eliminates the multiple app or software to just 1 and it reduces the cost by almost 35 %
    • Operational cost savings as traditional systems or application require lot of manpower in ensuring the same which Actifile does without any additional cost and resources.
    • Do overall it is best fit for the mid sized to large organisations.
