"Apache Arrow, the best key to handle enormous data sets using computational library in data science"
4/5
What do you like best about Apache Arrow?

One can create high-speed algorithms by the same analytics workloads. It also works great with AWS EC2 instances. It collaborates data science & database communities in an open standard memory format. Supports most of the frequently used languages be it R, C, C++, Java or Perl to Python. No need to worry for huge data sets, Apache Arrow got it covered for you!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In spite of having the best efficiency, time complexity could have been improved. It should incorporate more programming as well as database languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The home for language agnostic processing of data"
4/5
What do you like best about Apache Arrow?

The memory layout that is used within Apache is standards above other choices that are out there. Not only that but this memory layout is also usable with different programming languages. One of the common competitors of this being Spark SQL does not have the ability to be used with Python which is essential when using data service software within machine learning and artificial intelligence. This ability greatly places it above its competitors that are out there. Also, the installation process is leagues easier than its competitors that exist. All of this only names a few of the actual many features that are included within this software that is beyond valuable when comparing to other software. One amazing feature is their customer service as well as the guides that they give along with the software. It is easier to make sure you are doing the right thing or to learn new things when using this software because of the tutorials and guides that they have provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Arrow?

The thing that I dislike the most about this software is that the learning curve is quite intense if you are new to the system. Once you understand it, it is extremely easy to use, however, that first little bit can be challenging for beginners to get the hang of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
