HDInsight is used to help the Sales Department with processing analytics and managing large data. It is utilized by the Advertising and Sales Team and it addresses the problems of overall cost spend in google analytics. We definitely use the powerful query to translate high volume data into Excel in our company. The best thing is the high availability of Microsoft. Azure HDInsight makes it very easy to work with large scale data workloads in Hadoop, and it gives good benefits working on the top of the Azure data lakes.
  • Promote things that needed to be on top.
  • Current analytics changes.
  • As it's from Microsoft, it has high availability and support from Microsoft.
  • Easy transformation of high volume data.
  • Performance issue with large volume data.
  • Cost
For the current purpose, it fits best. Save other costs in analytics and transforming high volume data.
  • Meet business objectives.
  • Advertising events so save cost.
  • High availibility
Azure HD Insight is the one only used and it works well and serves its purpose. Azure Blob Storage could be an alternative, but if you really want to work on a large-scale workload, then HD analytics is best with Azure Data Lakes. PowerBI could be useful for small scale data stored on different services such as SharePoint and One Drive.
Well suited in advertising and marketing to serve the business purpose and best fit in the transformation of high volume data.
Azure HDInsight is usable on the top of Azure Data Lake and gives us the benefit of analyzing large scale data workload in Hadoop. Usability and support from Microsoft are outstanding.

HDInsight is being used with a company I currently consult for. Their marketing department needed help with analytics and managing large files/data and processing it all. It is only being utilized by the advertising and marketing department and it addresses problems that arise when we spend large amounts of money on Google Analytics, Facebook, Instagram, etc., and want to allocate the expenses.
  • Shows live changes in analytics. Shows you how social media is working for us. Since we promote weekly events this is something that we really need to pay attention to.
  • Azure in itself is very user-friendly, HDInsight is a great addition. For our purposes, we definitely also utilized the power query to translate data to Excel.
  • The only problem I have come across is when loading large volumes of data I sometimes get an error message, I assume this means something is corrupt from within. I would love a way for this to be resolved without having to start over.
For my purposes it is well suited, being marketing and advertising.
  • The positive impact is high for our overall business objective; which is to advertise our events, sales, and new merchandise. ROI cannot be compared.
At this time I have not used any other similar products... I am open to it but Azure HDInsight and its components really work well for our organization.
