Cloudera Data Platform vs. Explorium

I have seen that Cloudera Data Platform is well suited for large batch processes. It works really well for our indication analyses that are performed by the actuaries. I feel that rapid streaming operations may be a situation where additional technology would be needed to provide for a robust solution.

We need to constantly measures costs in our health business and we forecast pricing acoording to several values and conditions. Explorium works quite good analysing simple datasets, but when hierahies start to increase, meaning 6-10 olap variables, the system start to slow down quite a bit until was no longer to retrieve the info we required. This is why we test several tools, because even world-class solutions we purchase, don´t do the job we need. Explorium is a good tool, but complexity will be a minus in some scenarios.

• relationships between entities could be better. Would be great to have scenarios.
• The data normalized needs improvement. Works pretty good, but it needs more refinement when using AND-OR Formulas that came from various datasets.

We have utilized Cloudera support quite frequently and are very satisfied with the capability and responsiveness of that team. Often, the new features delivered with the platform give us an opportunity to mature the way we're doing things, and the support team have been valuable in developing those new patterns.

IBM's offering of the Cloud Pak for Data has been a moving target and difficult to compare to Cloudera Data Platform. We have implemented our solution on Amazon Web Services, which appears to be supported by IBM at this point, but the migration would be very expensive for us to endeavor.

The simplicity of the tool is an advantage. The integrations as well work quite well. All these solutions have worked well until some point and what we have discovered over the years is that we need to combine various solutions. There is no such thing as one tool ruling them all. Explorium works quite well until we start testing more advanced relations, and here, the tool is promising but requires a little work.

• Reduced operational costs
• Speed to market

• Positive. The time save in analysis per hour of internal consulting was the best compared to our SAP and Cognos solutions.
• In term of objetives works as stated, but when using multi-conditions of dataset, start the issues.
