"Most efficient tool for importing from RDMS systems"
What do you like best about Apache Sqoop?

This is the tool that is used to import data from any RDMS systems. It uses a Map-Reduce framework which gives a continuous and running info and status of imported data. In addition, running this tool with a shell script is a lot convenient and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Sqoop?

Sqoop doesn't have a Graphical user interface. If we have GUI for this tool it would have been a lot more convenient. Moreover, Map-reduce functions used in Sqoop is a little slow, however, modern technologies have many advances. I believe using modern tools would make this tool a lot faster.

"Efficient bulk data transfer and management tool"
What do you like best about Apache Sqoop?

Best tool to efficiently transfer bulk data between structured datastores such as relational databases and Apache Hadoop. Works well with relational databases such as Teradata, Netezza, Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, and HSQLDB. Parallel data transfer function helps to faster performance and optimal system utilization.

Also helps to import sequential datasets from mainframe and direct to ORCFiles , fast data copies, efficient data analysis and load balancing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Sqoop?

Can be applicable with structured database related transfer only. It uses a JDBC connection to connect with RDBMS based data stores which creates performance issue and makes inefficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sqoop Data Ingestion tool"
What do you like best about Apache Sqoop?

Provides generalized JDBC extensions to migrate data between most database systems

When combined with Cloudera's HUE, it can enable non-technical users to easily import relational data into Hadoop

Allows for both import and export features

Generates Java classes upon reading database records for use in other code utilizing Hadoop's client libraries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Sqoop?

Sqoop isn't very user-friendly for those uncomfortable with a CLI.

Sqoop2 development seems to have stalled. I have set it up outside of a Cloudera CDH installation, and I actually prefer it's "Sqoop Server" model better than just the CLI client version that is Sqoop1. This works especially well in a microservices environment, where there would be only one place to maintain the JDBC drivers to use for Sqoop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Sqoop?

I have only ever used Sqoop as a command line tool but think an integration into a UI like Hue would be great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
