User Reviews & Rating Comparison

User Ratings	4 (based on 54 reviews)
Rating Distribution	5 9 2 0 1
Pros and Cons	Cost-effective, enterprise-grade managed service for open-source big-data analytics. Bundles a broad set of open-source frameworks like Hadoop, Spark, Hive, Kafka, and Storm in one platform. Integrates well with the wider Azure ecosystem, including Data Lake storage and Databricks. Service can feel slow at times for some workloads.
