"Powerful for Big Data, But Consider These Trade-offs"
What do you like best about Alibaba MaxCompute?

Cost-Effective: Generally considered more affordable than some competitors, particularly for large datasets and complex queries. Pay-as-you-go pricing and storage options provide flexibility and cost control.

Scalability and Performance: Designed for massive data processing, MaxCompute handles petabytes of data with good performance, especially for batch processing and analytical queries. Its distributed architecture allows for efficient scaling to meet growing data demands.

Security: Robust security features, including data encryption, access control, and auditing, ensure data confidentiality and integrity. Integration with other Alibaba Cloud security services further enhances security posture.

SQL Support and Ecosystem: Supports standard SQL, allowing users familiar with SQL to quickly adapt and leverage existing skills. Integration with other Alibaba Cloud services and a growing ecosystem of tools and partners simplifies development and deployment.

Data Lake Integration: Seamlessly integrates with other Alibaba Cloud data lake storage solutions, allowing for efficient data ingestion, processing, and analysis within a unified data platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alibaba MaxCompute?

Steeper Learning Curve: While SQL support helps, fully utilizing MaxCompute's advanced features and optimizations can require a significant investment in learning its specific functionalities and tools.

Limited Real-Time Capabilities: Primarily designed for batch processing, MaxCompute's real-time processing capabilities are less mature compared to dedicated stream processing platforms. While improvements are being made, it might not be the ideal choice for real-time analytics or applications requiring low-latency processing.

Vendor Lock-in: As a proprietary solution, MaxCompute creates some vendor lock-in. Migrating data and applications to other platforms can be challenging and time-consuming.

Community Support: While documentation and official support are available, the community support and readily available resources may not be as extensive as for some open-source alternatives.

Debugging and Monitoring: Debugging complex queries and workflows can be challenging. While monitoring tools are provided, their ease of use and comprehensive nature could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent solution for large scale data storage"
What do you like best about Alibaba MaxCompute?

Alibaba MaxCompute is an excellent solution on a commercial level, since it allows simple and through a highly intuitive and versatile interface to carry out large-scale data processing and this is because it offers different methods so that it is very easy to massively store data and be able to manage it through a single console, as well as to be able to keep them safe by means of constant analysis and monitoring so that the data is not affected by any vulnerability but that they remain stable at all times, it also gives us the option to process the data through different tunnels, whether multiple, historical or those that increase in real time, thus obtaining low latency or importing and exporting data much more frequently and fast and I must mention that this service is also very useful for data migration because unlike others the process reduces it to three months is to say that for those companies that want to migrate their data in the shortest possible time this software is appropriate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alibaba MaxCompute?

I have not had any negative experience with this software because its service is very stable and offers a support team that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as well as highly qualified consultants who respond very kindly giving a rewarding experience.
