I like all the great and innovative features of this. It is easy to manage big data programmatically. All the features part are easy to use and understandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qubole?

The user interface needs to improve. When the query is executed, it returns the number of query. The notebook feature is not user-friendly. The interface is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Qubole is an amazing data lake platform for analytics"

5/5

What do you like best about Qubole?

Qubole is an excellent self- service platform to host Big Data. The ease of managing data on S3 which can be the end place of data, coupled with Hadoop's HDFS system provide an ideal environment for ETL processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qubole?

Qubole has fewer ETL tools in comparison to its competitors. Also, cluster management seemed to be a problem sometime. A feature that allows team members to share codes amongst them will also benefit analysts working in a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Qubole:

It is an amazing data lake platform to access Big Data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qubole solving and how is that benefiting you?

I worked on Qubole in a Hadoop environment and used Hive for querying on the data. We used S3 to store clients' sales data on the back-end. Considering our database had ~150mn rows of data, I was impressed by the querying speed, even when running multiple queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Qubole has degraded in quality very poorly"

0.5/5

What do you like best about Qubole?

Not happy with Qubole at all, it has degraded and is not a usable production-ready tool that performs without glitches. Qubole was bought over by some other company, their tools are not stable in a production environment, and don't have customizability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qubole?

Scheduling system is not reliable. As a company we used to have production jobs scheduled on Qubole scheduler, and most would fail for some reason or the other. This caused us to host our own Airflow instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool to manage Big Data."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Qubole?

It is very easy to use and provides many choices with limited effort to retrieve data. For the EBS volume and the number of nodes, automated cluster termination to prevent waste, easy to turn between different languages such as Hive, Spark, Presto etc, I like the scalability function of Qubole. Clusters can be used well, registry is very fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qubole?

Perhaps a slightly confusing structuring of alternatives contributes to time usage. Wide scrolling times are needed for the notebook. Like its rival Databricks, the laptop should be easy to use. Logic is not successful bootstrap script. Much like the library Databricks. To begin the cluster, it takes more time. Do you need some other Lambda price substitute for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Qubole:

Versatile and easy-to-use tool, use the trial time to buy that suits all your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qubole solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can collect data in a very relaxed way by means of Qubole. It helped us save a great deal of money. The time required for processing was quicker, and resources were decreased due to Qubole. The scheduler is quick to set up jobs and the internal tables are saved, which are very handy when a workflow fails. The use of Qubole makes exchanging resources simpler. Spark Cluster launch. Launch. Works are executed. Using the scientific notebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to implement and use tool."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Qubole?

I like the very simple to comprehend and use interactive web interface for rapid analysis and creation of results. The best thing is to also view the distribution of services to your operating Spark workers through your Hadoop Cluster and your Spark Cluster. Any choice, whether it involves goods, individuals, systems, or relationships, can be driven by the data activation. To date, we have invested the most in helping organisations close the activation gap. It also offers a standard infrastructure that helps users to operate more easily on the best open source engines with the following ETL, analytics and AI/ML workloads, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qubole?

I don't like that if I press on the Notebook again, the Tables drawer closes immediately. When clearly locked, the table drawer must be opened. Qubole focuses solely on activation of results. We allow you to process all sorts of data sets, whether structured, unstructured or semi-structured, to gather useful information and create artificial intelligence-based applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Qubole:

My recommendation is to take the required time learning the method first and it is very easy to use all of the research and data creation once you're used to the Qubole interface. Qubole focuses solely on activation of results. We can manage all sorts of data sets to gain useful information, whether organized, unstructured or partly structured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qubole solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm solving problems by linking AWS through the Hadoop cluster. The advantage is that I can log in from my desktop and easily type a Hive or Pyspark code sample for fast review and presentation. The SQL notebook data download option is very useful for sample data presentation. The attention of the consumer is fantastic and a must. In addition, please try to get in state-of-the-art technicians. It will first aid us to avoid reinventing wheels. It is also inspiring along with other interesting stuff for engineering.

"Data Lakes simplified"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Qubole?

I like that it is very easy to get started with Qubole. If you want to experiment with data lakes a bit without investing a lot of time or energy into getting your data lake set up, Qubole is great. If you like what you see and then want to productize it, Qubole makes that easier to do as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qubole?

As with any tool that simplifies entry, it also abstracts out some of the edge cases you may find yourself wanting to use with your data lake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Qubole:

Great for a quick startup, as with any new software service be ready to invest in some learning time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qubole solving and how is that benefiting you?

We don't have any production systems using Qubole yet, but we have a few internal projects and opportunities that are using it to accelerate their data lake work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
