Cloudera Data Science Workbench vs. Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub

Organizations which already implemented on-premise Hadoop based Cloudera Data Platform (CDH) for their Big Data warehouse architecture will definitely get more value from seamless integration of Cloudera Data Science Workbench (CDSW) with their existing CDH Platform. However, for organizations with hybrid (cloud and on-premise) data platform without prior implementation of CDH, implementing CDSW can be a challenge technically and financially.

Cloudera excels at seamless migrations and upgrades.



Cloudera supports self-healing and data center
replacement of failed cloud instances while maintaining the state.



Cloudera is essential to increase or decrease
capacity through the user interface or API.



Cloudera is great at simplifying big data analytics
by providing the technology and tools needed to gain insights from IoT and
connected devices to help monitor and condition our assets.



Cloudera's cybersecurity platform option offers
stronger anomaly detection, visibility, and prevention, as well as faster
behavioral analysis.



Cloudera is beneficial for enabling and utilizing
the platform's machine learning and ad-hoc queries while securely storing,
retrieving, and analyzing any volume of data at scale.

• One single IDE (browser based application) that makes Scala, R, Python integrated under one tool
• For larger organizations/teams, it lets you be self reliant
• As it sits on your cluster, it has very easy access of all the data on the HDFS
• Linking with Github is a very good way to keep the code versions intact

Incentivized

• Excellent management capabilities via Cloudera Manager.
• Open source and does not restrict our data to be bound by a proprietary format.
• Offers excellent support for data governance and auditing.
• Has all the components that would help us build a data hub.
• Excellent platform support offered by Cloudera.

• Installation is difficult.
• Upgrades are difficult.
• Licensing options are not flexible.

Incentivized

• Not fully Open Source, couple of components of the distributions are privately owned, meaning with public contributions are not welcome
• Improvements to Cloudera manager can only be recommended. its very hard to get it done once recommended as the full control is with them.
• Should make components more aligned to Open Source rather than making it closed sourced.
• Custom Features of open source software tools supported only by Cloudera are tricky. Cant commit changes to tools like Hue.
• Improvements to Cluster Management tool is required, which are already available to its competitors.

Incentivized

Likely to renew the use in case the requirements for Cloudera remain valid. The rapid change in customer requirements and solutions that must be validated, integrated or tested changes. As the maturity of the solution increases, the requirements to renew use decrease. From a solution feature perspective by itself would probably grade 10.

Cloudera Data Science Workbench has excellence online resources support such as documentation and examples. On top of that the enterprise license also comes with SLA on opening a ticket to Cloudera Services and support for complaint handling and troubleshooting by email or through a phone call. On top of that it also offers additional paid training services.

Incentivized

Both the tools have similar features and have made it pretty easy to install/deploy/use. Depending on your existing platform (Cloudera vs. Azure) you need to pick the Workbench. Another observation is that Cloudera has better support where you can get feedback on your questions pretty fast (unlike MS). As its a new product, I expect MS to be more efficient in handling customers questions.

Incentivized

Cloudera is
compatible with Windows operating systems, and Mac allows cloud-based
deployment, it is also very useful to configure data encryption, guarantee
protocols, and security policies. It also provides integrated auditing and
monitoring capabilities, as well as a control comprehensive data repository for
the enterprise, and ensures vendor compatibility through its open-source
architecture.

Incentivized

• Paid off for demonstration purposes.

Incentivized

• Cloudera products are the most widely. It is more business friendly as data is more secure. The sensitive data that you operate on is local to you and your project rather than processing this data on Cloud.
• Cloudera is definitely faster as wait time is reduced if on Cloud.
• A lot range of products are covered. So it is definitely good for businesses and had good returns on investments.
