When you have real time data which amounts to massive volumes close to terabytes daily, it’s become quite imperative that we should have a system which can handle it and ingest without losing it. Having Hadoop in place makes our product more robust, its stability comes handy.

The only challenge in running huge clusters is it require huge amount of space and memory for efficient working.

Hadoop is very well suited for big data modeling problems in various industries like finance, insurance, healthcare, automobiles, CRM, etc. In every industry where you need data analysis in real time, Hadoop is a perfect fit in terms of storage, analysis, retrieval, and processing. It won't be a very good tool to perform ETL (Extract Transform Load) techniques though.

Good tool for unstructured data

Altogether, I want to say that Apache Hadoop is well-suited to a larger and unstructured data flow like an aggregation of web traffic or even advertising. I think Apache Hadoop is great when you literally have petabytes of data that need to be stored and processed on an ongoing basis. Also, I would recommend that the software should be supplemented with a faster and interactive database for a better querying service. Lastly, it's very cost-effective so it is good to give it a shot before coming to any conclusion.

Great enterprise tool for handling large data

Apache Hadoop is majorly suited for companies that have large amounts of unstructured data flow like advertising and even web traffic so I feel that Hadoop is a great option when you have the extra bulk of data that is required to be stored and processed on a continuous basis. Moreover, I do recommend Hadoop but at the same time, I would also hope and suggest that the software of Hadoop gets supplemented with a faster and interactive database so that the overall querying service gets better.

Apache Hadoop (and its subsequent add-ons) are well-suited to larger, unstructured data flows, such as aggregation of web traffic or advertising. Geospatial algorithms and their outputs are well-suited for this kind of aggregation as structuring that data is challenging, but leaving it unstructured and performing queries as-needed is a better fit for most business models. With the advent of data science, I would expect Hadoop fits a LOT of their initial outputs quite well.
