Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub vs. Databricks Data Intelligence Platform vs. OpenText Magellan

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.

Medium to Large data throughput shops will benefit the most from Databricks Spark processing. Smaller use cases may find the barrier to entry a bit too high for casual use cases. Some of the overhead to kicking off a Spark compute job can actually lead to your workloads taking longer, but past a certain point the performance returns cannot be beat.

If you do not have a large budget and are a large organization, I would steer clear of Actuate. If you are looking to do very complex washboarding, I would not use them. Your developers have to be very skilled to work with this. Plan to bring in consultants if necessary to help your process. Adhoc reporting is weak. If your pricing is user based and you expand, this could be very expensive.

• 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.

• Process raw data in One Lake (S3) env to relational tables and views
• Share notebooks with our business analysts so that they can use the queries and generate value out of the data
• Try out PySpark and Spark SQL queries on raw data before using them in our Spark jobs
• Modern day ETL operations made easy using Databricks. Provide access mechanism for different set of customers

• The report outputs can vary across different types such as HTML, PDF, and Excel
• Their open source offering is very sufficient
• There are great boards and blogs for developers and engineers to expand and use their features.
• The people from the company that I've worked with are professional and courteous.

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

• Sometimes, when multiple jobs depend on each other in different environments, it is not always easy to see the full workflow in one place.
• It is sometimes difficult to determine which job or cluster contributes more to the overall cost.
• For beginners, cluster configuration may be a little difficult. So more recommendation in the platform can help.

Incentivized

• The documentation on all the available features, but most importantly on the scripting side, can be improved
• The standard look & feel of some basic options, like parameter selection or sorting and filtering, looks dated and can't be customized
• The server portal needs to provide better tools
• More integration is needed with other OpenText products

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.

I am no longer working for the company that was using Actuate but I believe they would continue to use it because the stitching costs would be to high. It would require a complete rewrite of the reports and the never version of Actuate (BIRT) even required an almost complete report rewrite

Incentivized

Because it is an amazing platform for designing experiments and delivering a deep dive analysis that requires execution of highly complex queries, as well as it allows to share the information and insights across the company with their shared workspaces, while keeping it secured.

in terms of graph generation and interaction it could improve their UI and UX

It is quite intuitive to use. It is fit specifically for doing sentiment, emotion, and intention analysis as well as text classification and text summarization. I would have given 10 if it is fit for the purpose of doing image processing and analysis as well. There is a huge market to analyze video and image data.

One of the best customer and technology support that I have ever experienced in my career. You pay for what you get and you get the Rolls Royce. It reminds me of the customer support of SAS in the 2000s when the tools were reaching some limits and their engineer wanted to know more about what we were doing, long before "data science" was even a name. Databricks truly embraces the partnership with their customer and help them on any given challenge.

Always there on the front and backend for us and the client.

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.

The most important differentiating factor for Databricks Lakehouse Platform from these other platforms is support for ACID transactions and the time travel feature. Also, native integration with managed MLflow is a plus. EMR, Cloudera, and Hortonworks are not as optimized when it comes to Spark Job Execution. Other platforms need to be self-managed, which is another huge hassle.

It is vastly superior to these in many ways, for complex reporting it is a much more sophisticated solution. Visualizations are very good. Javascript extensibility is very powerful, others don't support this or as well. Pentaho and MS are both OLAP oriented. Pentaho is moving more toward big data, which was not our primary focus. Others are stuck in the Crystal Reports Band metaphor.

• 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.

• The ability to spin up a BIG Data platform with little infrastructure overhead allows us to focus on business value not admin
• DB has the ability to terminate/time out instances which helps manage cost.
• The ability to quickly access typical hard to build data scenarios easily is a strength.

• Actuate can handle 50 to 60 sub reports inside a report very well.
• Dynamically creating the datasource, chart, graph, reports are the main advantages. We can do any level of drilling, and can create a performance matrix dashboard efficiently.
