Product(s): Cloudera Data Platform
Overall Comment:"Works well for small, less technical teams that need to do a lot with data in a short amount of time. However, the platform quickly becomes more difficult to manage long term compared to using a cloud provider directly. Cost and extensibility were major roadblocks for us. It has become increasingly difficult to integrate the platform with other software we are using."
The data lake is easy to implement and is highly performant. I like that metadata and assets are automatically catalogued and that access policies are easy to create and manage.
1. Cost. Way too expensive compared to using cloud providers 2. Difficult to integrate with other software or programming languages 3. Data cataloguing is designed without end users in mind
