"Pepperdata - great for cluster optimization, decent for app level monitoring"

3/5

What do you like best about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

Pepperdata's Capacity optimizer is very effective in packing containers onto nodes, thereby reducing the cost of the underlying compute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

It's not easy to calculate the value that you gain form having Pepperdata, which makes it tough to justify the cost of Pepperdata to upper management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our main problem was troubleshooting and tuning Spark jobs which we previously had very little visibility on. With Pepperdata, we certainly do get a much better picture of the cluster, nodes and individual jobs. Pepperdata alarms have helped us get alerted to issues related to capacity allocations for jobs or clusters Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
