Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review TIBCO Data Virtualization is well suited for customers who are challenged to deal with extracting data from dozens of different sources and systems, and do not have the time and liberty to hire data engineers and/or ETL developers to write dozens or hundreds of complex ETLs. However, there are situations where TIBCO Data Virtualization severely underperforms, and those are where we are dealing with large volumes of data, in tera bytes or peta byte scale system. For example, a messaging queue which sends 200 million messages every hour will choke TIBCO Data Virtualization if the technology is chosen to route the data.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Connecting to different data silos and presenting the data as a singled unified layer of data. Exposing data to Technical and non technical users through Web UI or reporting tools Secured exposure of data as web services. Row level and column level data security Multi tenancy data security. Real time data by connecting to the operational databases Historical data generation Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Performance of TDV Studio (its own IDE) is poor. Performance of TDV repository database is rather poor for larger numbers of objects .(Note: We have approx. 9tsd objects introspected in TDV and approx. 20tsd objects generated in upper DV layers.) Propagation of privileges to parent/child dependencies does not work when applying recursively on a folder. (It's a huge setback when working with large number of objects organized semantically into subfolders.) Lack of command line client interface for scripting at the time of version 8.4 (I had to write my own CLI.) TDV Studio does an absolutely horrible job with its own code editors when indentation is in place. Also, the editor is brutally slow and feature-poor. Tracking privileges on the level of table/view columns causes occasional problems when regranting. TDV's stored programs ("SQL scripts" in their own terminology) compiler leaves out many syntactic and semantic checks, making them hugely prone to run-time errors. TDV Server's REST API is a very poor (in terms of features) and flawed cousin to its SOAP API (at the time of version 8.4). Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.
Read full review It is useful for us to see the data and do analysis. Also we use it to generate reports and see trends or gather insights
Read full review Usability TDV's interface is a bit dated and not entirely intuitive. Would recommend some UX design review as the interface leaves a bit to be better understood to be used by users without inherent knowledge of Tibco. Overall I'd suggest more improvement here to ensure usability by a lesser tech audience.
Read full review Reliability and Availability We have never encountered issues where it was unavailable when we needed it.
Read full review Performance This product's performance is very consistent. It is extremely rare for templates to fail. I've been using this software for 5 years and find it to be both simple and powerful. The impact within the company has been very positive as different processes in different areas, such as data analysis, development, and integrations, have been improved, and, best of all, it has not affected the users. Various systems with which it is connected in order to obtain information.
Read full review Support Rating On a few occasions I have asked TIBCO technical support for help because I have adapted perfectly to their tools, but in those few that I have communicated with their technical team I have received personalized, attentive, responsible attention and I am always assisted by an expert staff the topic. A TIBCO technical support technician spent more than an hour helping me to solve a problem in the initial stage of implementation in my department and this is something that I always appreciate.
Read full review Online Training The training was helpful. I was able to understand how to use TIBCO for the data load process that we implemented and how to perform various troubleshooting steps based on the training I received. The technician was thorough and took the time to answer any questions. Once we were shown how to use TIBCO in the test environment, we were able to configure the production environment ourselves.
Read full review Implementation Rating Other vendors have clearer, more visual implementation documentation. We also did not have our data architect and and server administrator available full-time for implementation. In the future, we will secure the necessary internal resources.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review We did not need to evaluate another technology in the same category for data virtualization, since we are 100% sure of the capabilities and benefits that we would have with TIBCO Data Virtualization, both for market positioning as well as success stories from other companies. great renown worldwide. From the first day of use, it meets our needs to provide the expected solutions.

Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review We took spreadsheets that took hours a month to update and made them update automatically using TDV, saving hours a month of analyst time The incremental cost of TDV relative to straight spotfire licensing made it a no-brainer due to the ease of data management We continue to automate legacy business processes in TDV, saving time all over the organization.
