Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Datameer is a great tool if someone is capable of keeping the most recent version of the tool up to date along with the most recent version of the distribution of Hadoop. The tool is easy to support but it must have someone who can run the back end processes
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review It leverages scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of hadoop to deliver an end-user focused analytic platform for big data without involvement of IT. It overcomes Hadoop`s complexity by providing GUI interface with pre-built functions across integration, analytics and data visualization . Excel feature is awesome for business users which is already provided by Datameer. Using datameer now user can do smart analytic using Decision Trees, Column dependency and recommendation. Recently HTML5 inclusion is making application to available on a wider range of devices, including the iPad and other mobile devices which does not support Flash. It can be used in premise or in a cloud computing environment. Wizard-based data integration designed for IT and business users to schedule and do transformation of large sets of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data without any knowledge of Hadoop ecosystem. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Concentration issues are possible while using a lot of tabs at once. In most cases, the length of a tutorial video is excessive. A more condensed design is certainly a viable option. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Employees with intermediate SQL and Hive knowledge can generate reports faster than using Datameer . It does have visualization tool but I don't think it is anything that cannot be accomplished by importing the data in Excel
Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Easy to use for most things, starts to require some planning as your projects get more complex.

Read full review Support Rating I highly recommend it.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Pricing, support, and ease of use. We plan to scale up our data over the net few years and Datameer gives us all the things we need in one tool. Handles large transformations quickly and works with all the cloud data warehouses.
Datameer's per-user pricing sealed the deal for us as we plan to transfer much more data over the next few years. We looked at
Fivetran but the usage pricing discourages growth. We also looked at Informatica but it was too expensive and didn't work as well with other BI tools like Datameer does.
Read full review Return on Investment Less implementation cost. No hosting services cost. Faster data retrieval. Read full review We have not been able to reach our business objectives just yet. Hadoop its a hard sell in most companies still. Legacy skills are still highly on demand and as long as an easier path leverage SQL for example is available, it would be hard to gain more adoption.
