    I find HDP easy to use and solves most of the problems for people looking to manage their big data. Evaluating the Hortonworks Data Platform is easy as it is free to download and install in your cluster. Single node cluster available as Sandbox is also easy for POCs.

    Real-time transaction processing (both reads and writes) is where DataStax Enterprise shines. It's very fast with linear scalability should more resources be needed. Additional nodes are added very easily. DataStax Enterprise on its own (without Solr or Spark enabled) isn't well suited for long complicated reports. The data model doesn't support joining multiple tables together which is common in BI reporting.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • It does a good job of packaging a lot of big data components into bundles and lets you use the ones you are interested in or need. It supports an extensive list of components which lets us solve many problems.
    • It provides the ability to manage installations and maintenance using Apache Ambari. It helps us in using management packs to install/upgrade components easily. It also helps us add, remove components, add, remove hosts, perform upgrades in a convenient manner. It also provides alerts and notifications and monitors the environment.
    • What they excel in is packaging open source components that are relevant and are useful to solve and complement each other as well as contribute to enhancing those components. They do a great job in the community to keep on top of what would be useful to users, fixing bugs and working with other companies and individuals to make the platform better.

    • Datastax Cassandra provides high availability and good performance for a database. It is built on top of open source Apache Cassandra so you can always somewhat understand the internal functioning and why.
    • Datastax Cassandra is fairly simple to start using, you can install/setup your cluster and be productive in 1 day.
    • Datastax Cassandra provides a lot of good detailed documentation, and when starting, the detailed free videos on the Datastax site and documentation are very helpful.
    • Datastax Enterprise Edition of Cassandra provides more tools, good support, and quick response SLA for enterprise business support.

    Cons

    • Since it doesn't come with propriety tools for big data management, additional integration is need (for query handling, search, etc).
    • It was very straightforward to store clinical data without relations, such as data from sensors of a medical device. But it has limitations when needed to combine the data with other clinical data in structured format (e.g. lab results, diagnosis).
    • Overall look and feel of front-end management tools (e.g. monitoring) are not good. It is not bad but it doesn't look professional.

    • Interface do need some improvement to be more intuitive for analysts like me.
    • Configuring multiple data sources can require support, as it isn't easy for new users. So, it can be made easier.
    • Additional ETL features can be added, so users don't have to switch between tools.

    As an open source technology Cassandra can be readily used with or without any commercial support. DataStax provides value-added services and features, and in the end it is up to individual situations to strike a balance between the desirability of such support/service versus the associated cost.

    DataStax has a good community built around it and has amazing scalability options. Though the initial setup is a bit costly, in the long run, it makes up for it. It also has powerful monitoring tools and a clean UI.

    We have had a few situations where we caused an outage or something has gone wrong and we are able to get a support person to offer live help within minutes. The escalation process is excellent - the best I've seen - and the support team is incredibly strong. Outside of emergencies, the team is very helpful with general questions and working through data model exercises and the subscription I believe still comes with some hours to help get the data model reviewed.

    We chose [Hortonworks Data Platform] because it's free and because [it] was an IBM partner, suggested as big data platform after biginsights platform.
    You can install in more physical computer without high specs, then you can use it in order to learn how to deploy, configure a complete big data cluster.
    We installed also in a cloud infrastructure of 5 virtual machine

    Claude is better for troubleshooting actual OPS/REXX but that's not an IBM product so I understand why IBM watsonx.data isn't great for that, but if IBM watsonx.data did help with code then it would be the only product that I use.

    • It is difficult to have a negative impact, because the required investment is not that high.
    • The big open community behind Hortonworks and related Apache Project makes it easy to put 'the wheel to meet the road' quite quickly.
    • We have seen management meetings where the attendants were impressed by the results achieved with the datalake built on HDP.

    • for one automation project, we managed to cut cloud storage costs by a third through IBM watsonx.data's lakehouse optimization
    • data integration projects have had a 20 % reduction in turnaround times. Can only imagine how that will improve with the Claude partnership
