“HDInsight is powerful, but requires a lot of administration”
Fine product if it works. We have a lot of connection issues, the authentication required is very complex and we need to manage a lot of items to keep everything running (like VM's and earlier mentioned authentication issues).

Performance of Azure HDInsight Across Market Features
Azure HDInsight Likes & Dislikes
I like how fast it is, it just quickly puts out numbers even when the data to be analyzed is super large
The possibilities you get with large amounts of data.
Live changes showing, the product is very easy to use and manageble. The system is very high speed and offered a great connection.
It doesn't support some data formats as inputs, like XML.
The complex authentication and extra VM administration.
when you have large volumes of data, the performance slows and becomes sticky. error messages are often shown.

Managing and processing data by Azure HDInsight efficiently and securely
Azure HDInsight is used for managing data processing at our organization. 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. - Senior IT Manager1B-10B USDEnergy and UtilitiesReview Source
While Implementation was simple and rapid, the user interactive feature are limited.
Over the last twelve months our engagement level with Microsoft has been high and effective. They are bringing people to the engagement who are skilled and have direct connections with the engineering team. They have kept us up to date with the product features and planned releases.
