Microsoft SQL Server is a great RDBMS and meets all of our requirements. If you need a stable DB platform to support your line of a business application you'll be well served. Licensing costs are far cheaper, more portable and a lot more user friendly than Oracle. Product support and security patches from Microsoft are strong.

Cons
Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
- 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.

- The import/export process can be tricky to follow with lots of steps and could be better for importing flat files
- Obtaining help from Microsoft is cumbersome and often other internet sources are better and quicker
- The documentation is not great and again it's generally better to obtain help elsewhere if needed

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.

We understand that the Microsoft SQL Server will continue to advance, offering the same robust and reliable platform while adding new features that enable us, as a software center, to create a superior product. That provides excellent performance while reducing the hardware requirements and the total cost of ownership of our solution.

SQL Server mostly 'just works' or generates error messages to help you sort out the trouble. You can usually count on the product to get the job done and keep an eye on your potential mistakes. Interaction with other Microsoft products makes operating as a Windows user pretty straight forward. Digging through the multitude of dialogs and wizards can be a pain, but the answer is usually there somewhere.

We managed to handle most of our problems by looking into Microsoft's official documentation that has everything explained and almost every function has an example that illustrates in detail how a particular functionality works. Just like PowerShell has the ability to show you an example of how some cmdlet works, that is the case also here, and in my opinion, it is a very good practice and I like it.

Other than SQL taking quite a bit of time to actually install there are no problems with installation. Even on hardware that has good performance SQL can still take close to an hour to install a typical server with management and reporting services.

[Microsoft] SQL Server has a much better community and professional support and is overall just a more reliable system with Microsoft behind it. I've used MySQL in the past and SQL Server has just become more comfortable for me and is my go to RDBMS.

Return on Investment
Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub
- 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 accuracy - We went from multiple users having different versions of an Excel spreadsheet to a single source of truth for our reporting.
- Increased Efficiency - We can now generate reports at any time from a single source rather than multiple users spending their time collating data and generating reports.
- Improved Security - Enterprise level security on a dedicated server rather than financial files on multiple laptop hard drives.
