Bottom Line:

Cloudera is one of the premier vendors in the Big Data market today, and is widely considered a leader in the use of emerging data tool Hadoop.

It is this core Hadoop expertise and its full data analytics platform that sets Cloudera apart from all its rivals and puts it in a class of its own. Cloudera recently earned an even bigger foothold in the Hadoop ecosystem with its merger with Hortonworks, which was its primary rival.

Cloudera Enterprise is a good choice for organizations that want the control to setup their own Big Data repositories and then conduct analytics within a single integrated stack. This integrated stack approach is highly efficient – and favored by companies. Furthermore, the Enterprise offering extends the open source CDH distribution, which is one of the most deployed implementations of Hadoop in use today.
