"Apache Mahout for Machine Learning"
What do you like best about Mahout?

The best thing about Mahout is it is a scalable Machine learning library that is unique, I have developed a machine learning model on more than 10 million datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

What I disliked about Mahout is after model development or during model development, it doesn't support many scientific calculation libraries, and the visualization part can be further improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apache Mahout Review"
What do you like best about Mahout?

The best thing about Mahout is it sits on top of Hadoop systems and we can easily use data from Hadoop file systems to do analysis using Mahout. I've basically used it for a comparison analysis between Sparks MLib and Mahout. Mahout is more for a statistician and depends on the use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

The compute time is relatively slow when compared to other similar frameworks like Mlib and tenserflow. Also, there's no enterprise support as such and it's purely an open source framework with limited online knowledge repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Algebric framework for database services."
What do you like best about Mahout?

It is a linear framework that is designed by Apache. Very assisting for engineers, mathematicians for working on their hypothesis. Helps in deploying large scale learning algorithms with short codes by this software. Also available in the models of ML that can assist to test and verify your data for usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

I have found no issue while using it. So I like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for financial statistics"
What do you like best about Mahout?

Mahout is a great tool because I can use this for my financial workflows and run not only summary statistics, but also more advanced statistics. I can also do linear correlation along with autocorrelation in Mahout to find out discrepancies in our financial data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

I cant think of downsides for Mahout at all. It's a good tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient tool to build machine learning models on top of big data"
What do you like best about Mahout?

The best thing about Mahout is that it is free. It supports working on big data using Map Reduce, and has GPU enabled acceleration too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

Although mainly based on Scala and it supports Python, I would have been more happy if majority of the things could have been done in Python as it is one of the most popular language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for machine learning"
What do you like best about Mahout?

Mahout lets me run machine learning algorithms on clustering and classification easily on Hadoop. It's a great free scalable implementation and I'm pretty happy about it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mahout?

I think one of the problems I have is various algorithms tend to still be missing that I would otherwise like to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
