    Chose Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
    It was the first and best Hadoop distribution when we started years ago. But the situation changed now and if given a choice, may end up choosing something else.

    I don't believe there is as much support for MapR yet compared to other more widely known products.

    Chose HPE Data Fabric
    Hortonworks and Cloudera are both sort of hacky. We have to do a lot of extra steps to automate those two. MapR has far fewer issues and doesn't force you into a once size fits all deployment scenario. There are multiple ways to deploy and some are more amenable to automation, …

    Chose HPE Data Fabric
    When we were shopping, Mapr had the momentum, high availability even on Hadoop 1.x, an improved file system and better a central control system. Now it looks like the situation has changed a lot.

    Chose HPE Data Fabric
    We supported all three Hadoop vendors with our Hadoop RDBMS product. Here's how I see the commercial Hadoop distribution world. If you need raw performance and don't mind proprietary technology, go with MapR. If you care about the most pure open source, go with Hortonworks. If …

    MapR is more well-suited for people who know what they are doing. I consider MapR the Hadoop distribution professionals use.

    Pros
    Cloudera
    • 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.

    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    • MapR had very fast I/O throughput. The write speed was several times faster than what we could achieve with the other Hadoop vendors (Cloudera and Hortonworks). This is because MapR does not use HDFS, which is essentially a "meta filesystem". HDFS is built on top of the filesystem provided by the OS. MapR has their filesystem called MapR-FS, which is a true filesystem and accesses the raw disk drives.
    • The MapR filesystem is very easy to integrate with other Linux filesystems. When working with HDFS from Apache Hadoop, you usually have to use either the HDFS API or various Hadoop/HDFS command line utilities to interact with HDFS. You cannot use command line utilities native to the host operation system, which is usually Linux. At least, it is not easily done without setting up NFS, gateways, etc. With MapR-FS, you can mount the filesystem within Linux and use the standard Unix commands to manipulate files.
    • The HBase distribution provided by MapR is very similar to the Apache HBase distribution. Cloudera and Hortonworks add GUIs and other various tools on top of their HBase distributions. The MapR HBase distribution is very similar to the Apache distribution, which is nice if you are more accustomed to using Apache HBase.

    Cons
    Cloudera
    • 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.

    • It takes time to get latest versions of Apache ecosystem tools released as it has to be adapted.
    • When you have issues related to Mapr-FS or Mapr Tables, its hard to figure them out by ourselves.
    • Sometime new ecosystem tools versions are released without proper QA.

    Likelihood to Renew
    Cloudera
    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.

    Return on Investment
    Cloudera
    • 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.

    • Increased employee efficiency for sure. Our clients have various levels of expertise in their deployment and user teams, and we never receive complaints about MapR.
    • MapR is used by one of our financial services clients who uses it for fraud detection and user pattern analysis. They are able to turn around data much faster than they previously had with in-house applications
