Azure Data Lake Storage vs. Azure HDInsight

Azure Data Lake is an absolutely essential piece of a modern data and analytics platform. Over the past 2 years, our usage of Azure Data Lake as a reporting source has continued to grow and far exceeds more traditional sources like MS SQL, Oracle, etc.

If you want to save costs and just pay for what you use, I highly recommend it. It will help you also to work with data for your reports and analytics. on the other hand I think it could be the subscription you have but high volume of data make it slow but not so much. anyway I think it's really good because it's from Microsoft which always is friendly to use it as all the suit they have.

• Setting up Azure Data Lake Storage account, container is quite easy
• Access from anywhere and easy maintenance
• Integration with Azure Data Factory service for end to end pipeline is pretty easy
• Can store Any form of data (Structured, Unstructured, Semi) in faster manner

Incentivized

• Data is presented without interfering others (IT or other dept).
• Data is managed properly and is available for retrievable any time.
• Legacy use of CD/DVD and Pendrive are not required.

• study for the certifications also to have them as a reference for work when you have any questions about applying a configuration to the equipment.
• The Internet interface is simple and easy to use. Capacity is good and it's good that HP continues to innovate with this technology

• The only problem I have come across is when loading large volumes of data I sometimes get an error message, I assume this means something is corrupt from within. I would love a way for this to be resolved without having to start over.

Azure HDInsight is usable on the top of Azure Data Lake and gives us the benefit of analyzing large scale data workload in Hadoop. Usability and support from Microsoft are outstanding.

Azure Data Lake Storage from a functionality perspective is a much easier solution to work with. It's implementation from Amazon EMR went smooth, and continued usage is definitely better. However, Amazon EMR was significantly cheaper overall between the high transaction fees and cost of storage due to growth. The two both have their advantages and disadvantages, but the functionality of Azure Data Lake Storage outweighed it's cost

At this time I have not used any other similar products... I am open to it but Azure HDInsight and its components really work well for our organization.

• Instead of having separate pools of storage for data we are now operating on a single layer platform which has cut down on time spent on maintaining those separate pools.
• We have had more of an ROI with the scalability as we are able to control costs of storage when need be.
• We are able to operate in a more streamlined approach as we are able to stay within the Azure suite of products and integrate seamlessly with the rest of the applications in our cloud-based infrastructure

Incentivized

• Less implementation cost.
• No hosting services cost.
• Faster data retrieval.
