Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub vs. Amazon Redshift

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.

If the number of connections is expected to be low, but the amounts of data are large or projected to grow it is a good solutions especially if there is previous exposure to PostgreSQL. Speaking of Postgres, Redshift is based on several versions old releases of PostgreSQL so the developers would not be able to take advantage of some of the newer SQL language features. The queries need some fine-tuning still, indexing is not provided, but playing with sorting keys becomes necessary. Lastly, there is no notion of the Primary Key in Redshift so the business must be prepared to explain why duplication occurred (must be vigilant for)

• 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.

• [Amazon] Redshift has Distribution Keys. If you correctly define them on your tables, it improves Query performance. For instance, we can define Mapping/Meta-data tables with Distribution-All Key, so that it gets replicated across all the nodes, for fast joins and fast query results.
• [Amazon] Redshift has Sort Keys. If you correctly define them on your tables along with above Distribution Keys, it further improves your Query performance. It also has Composite Sort Keys and Interleaved Sort Keys, to support various use cases
• [Amazon] Redshift is forked out of PostgreSQL DB, and then AWS added "MPP" (Massively Parallel Processing) and "Column Oriented" concepts to it, to make it a powerful data store.
• [Amazon] Redshift has "Analyze" operation that could be performed on tables, which will update the stats of the table in leader node. This is sort of a ledger about which data is stored in which node and which partition with in a node. Up to date stats improves Query performance.

• 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.

• We've experienced some problems with hanging queries on Redshift Spectrum/external tables. We've had to roll back to and old version of Redshift while we wait for AWS to provide a patch.
• Redshift's dialect is most similar to that of PostgreSQL 8. It lacks many modern features and data types.
• Constraints are not enforced. We must rely on other means to verify the integrity of transformed tables.

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.

Just very happy with the product, it fits our needs perfectly. Amazon pioneered the cloud and we have had a positive experience using RedShift. Really cool to be able to see your data housed and to be able to query and perform administrative tasks with ease.

The support was great and helped us in a timely fashion. We did use a lot of online forums as well, but the official documentation was an ongoing one, and it did take more time for us to look through it. We would have probably chosen a competitor product had it not been for the great support

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.

Than Vertica: Redshift is cheaper and AWS integrated (which was a plus because the whole company was on AWS).
Than BigQuery: Redshift has a standard SQL interface, though recently I heard good things about BigQuery and would try it out again.
Than Hive: Hive is great if you are in the PB+ range, but latencies tend to be much slower than Redshift and it is not suited for ad-hoc applications.

Redshift is relatively cheaper tool but since the pricing is dynamic, there is always a risk of exceeding the cost. Since most of our team is using it as self serve and there is no continuous tracking by a dedicated team, it really needs time & effort on analyst's side to know how much it is going to cost.

• 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.

• Our company is moving to the AWS infrastructure, and in this context moving the warehouse environments to Redshift sounds logical regardless of the cost.
• Development organizations have to operate in the Dev/Ops mode where they build and support their apps at the same time.
• Hard to estimate the overall ROI of moving to Redshift from my position. However, running Redshift seems to be inexpensive compared to all the licensing and hardware costs we had on our RDBMS platform before Redshift.
