Cloudera Data Platform vs Dragon Speech Recognition

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition is still a good choice for those that need to use a lot of technical terms. Otherwise, other companies are putting together more simple and as effective software. Lacking support for macOS is a big minus.

It crashes constantly. Many times you would lose your work.
Nuance stopped supporting macOS a few eyes ago. That was an important minus. The last macOS supported version is now useless; it does not even start under the new macOS versions.
The delay between listening and writing is applications like Word is way too big. I always have to dictate into a simple text editor and then copy the content into Word. Very bothersome.
Apple dictation works much faster.

Alternatives Considered

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.

Apple dictation is free and already integrated into the OS. It works very fast, and accuracy can be improved over time, depending on what OS version you have.

It facilitates writing down first drafts of long documents.
Once they stopped supporting macOS, many colleagues stopped using it, so it turned out to be a poor financial investment for the department.
