Datameer is a great tool if someone is capable of keeping the most recent version of the tool up to date along with the most recent version of the distribution of Hadoop. The tool is easy to support but it must have someone who can run the back end processes
Scenarios where it works well: 1. Preparing reports like CRM, Marketing, and sales for monthly reports. 2. Cleaning CSV files with inconsistent format 3. Removing of duplicates and finding error values 4. Enabling non-technical people to manage data preparation without coding. Scenarios where it is less appropriate: 1. Processing real time data and large scale data needs 2. Deep customization at code level 3. At advanced predictive modeling
It leverages scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of hadoop to deliver an end-user focused analytic platform for big data without involvement of IT.
It overcomes Hadoop`s complexity by providing GUI interface with pre-built functions across integration, analytics and data visualization .
Excel feature is awesome for business users which is already provided by Datameer.
Using datameer now user can do smart analytic using Decision Trees, Column dependency and recommendation.
Recently HTML5 inclusion is making application to available on a wider range of devices, including the iPad and other mobile devices which does not support Flash.
It can be used in premise or in a cloud computing environment.
Wizard-based data integration designed for IT and business users to schedule and do transformation of large sets of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data without any knowledge of Hadoop ecosystem.
Employees with intermediate SQL and Hive knowledge can generate reports faster than using Datameer . It does have visualization tool but I don't think it is anything that cannot be accomplished by importing the data in Excel
I would rate Zoho DataPrep a 10/10 for its usability because I feel it is very easy and intuitive platform and even non-technical people can access it easily without coding knowledge. Also, its workflow builder is very straightforward, once we create any data pipeline then we can reuse it easily.
Pricing, support, and ease of use. We plan to scale up our data over the net few years and Datameer gives us all the things we need in one tool. Handles large transformations quickly and works with all the cloud data warehouses.
Datameer's per-user pricing sealed the deal for us as we plan to transfer much more data over the next few years. We looked at Fivetran but the usage pricing discourages growth. We also looked at Informatica but it was too expensive and didn't work as well with other BI tools like Datameer does.
Zoho DataPrep is much easier to use and quick to set up. It user interface is very user friendly, even people with no technical knowledge can use it easily to transform the data. It creates the repeatable workflows easily and more cost-effective for small to mid-size teams. We selected it because it aligns with our business needs and goals perfectly like fast, easy, and efficient for everyday use.
