Azure HDInsight is being used across the whole organization in 3 countries that work together. The solution is that the organization pay for what they use.
  • It's scalable.
  • It's from Microsoft so it's friendly to use.
  • Data is available when you need it.
  • Performance with high volume of data.
If you want to save costs and just pay for what you use, I highly recommend it. It will help you also to work with data for your reports and analytics. on the other hand I think it could be the subscription you have but high volume of data make it slow but not so much. anyway I think it's really good because it's from Microsoft which always is friendly to use it as all the suit they have.
  • The impact is so far positive, the organization pays for the whole company in 3 countries.
I think it's easier to use because almost everyone knows how Microsoft works.
I highly recommend it.

Azure HDInsight is used for managing data processing at TechnipFMC. Being a big company managing the data of thousands of users and customers is always a challenge. We can now access the past data and present data without being dependent on a hard drive or on some other PC.
  • Data is presented without interfering others (IT or other dept).
  • Data is managed properly and is available for retrievable any time.
  • Legacy use of CD/DVD and Pendrive are not required.
  • Sometimes, lower bandwidth faces some issues (Slow speed)
  • Something can be done about lower bandwidth capability as higher bandwidth may not be available at all the places.
  • But improvement will be there in the above capability I am sure as the technology evolves.
Why do you need legacy hard drives and storage and other software to present the data when Azure can manage it efficiently and is always available on-demand?
  • ROI is of course there, as no legacy software for data presentation.
  • No manual intervention for data retrieval.
  • Data is available anywhere as requested.

Overall support is amazing. When we have a problem, IT and local support are able to solve problems faster.
I think this is being used in many of the big companies by default.

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.
