User Testimonials
	Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)	Cloudera Manager
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft At one instance, there was a fire in our data center and the backup power had some issues because of which the whole DC went down. I believe with AKS and the replication it's easier to handle such a situation. Also, the scenario would have been pretty transparent to the end-users. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cloudera It would be suited for customers who feel more comfortable with using a GUI. It is less appropriate for developers or engineers who are comfortable with command line Incentivized Ethan Tran Senior Systems Engineer Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Highly repeatable process Minimizes the amount of software to install Easily scale resources to meet demand Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cloudera Graphical user interface Management of third party applications start/stop/restart functionality through framework Support of Apache Hadoop ecosystem Ability to do "rolling restarts" Incentivized Charles Inglese Senior System Engineer Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Need to update cluster manually Policies cannot be updated for existing components if any change in policy every has to create cluster Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cloudera Cloudera Manager needs to be more agile with integrating other applications, such as Accumulo 1.7, to their software. Cloudera Manager can do a better job at explaining why a node fails to add to a cluster using their assistant. Cloudera Manager should show graphs only when there is data, instead of showing just an empty box. Incentivized Ethan Tran Senior Systems Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Cloudera It is a well developed product with a good user interface. Incentivized Charles Inglese Senior System Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	Microsoft Microsoft support was really good, whenever we raise any ticket they come back to us within a couple of hours. Incentivized Mounika Chirasani Software Engineer Read full review	Cloudera No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft The ability to create new instances (i.e. elastic provisioning) is probably the fastest with Azure Kubernetes Service compared to the alternatives that I have looked at. From a pricing perspective, Microsoft always seems to find a way to be more competitive in this area, and literally every other field they play in. Incentivized Scott Kennedy Director, eCommerce Analytics and Digital Marketing Read full review	Cloudera I have not used any competitors, such as Hortonworks, because Cloudera Manager just works and meets all my customer's needs. I only have deployed Hadoop using command line, which is not easy to use and manage. Incentivized Ethan Tran Senior Systems Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft Positive impact in moving applications to cloud from the in-hose data center to save cost Sometimes got affected with some bugs on the AKS infrastructure but hasn't caused a big kios as our production footprint in AKS is not yet high Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cloudera Cloudera Manager has allowed our organization to deploy Apache Hadoop to operations quicker and with less training versus using the command line exclusively. Increased employee efficiency. Increased product adoption. Incentivized Charles Inglese Senior System Engineer Read full review
