It should provides detailed error logs and the recommended fix whether code needs to be fix or configuration needs to me tweaked.

More utilization insights if possible.

Live Customer service via chat in the future if possible.

It should have the email notification service which can be triggered everytime when there is any Alarm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Saves a lot of money in hardware. Helps find bottlenecks."
What do you like best about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

Capacity optimizer fits more containers on the cluster than would normally run without it. Custom alarms allow us to trap and notify problem users and processes in Spark/Yarn.

The dedicated support we get from Pepperdata is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

A lot of our developers are not advanced enough to take advantage of spark tuning recommendations. Or are not given the time to tune their applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi,

If you are interested in more detail, we can point you to some of our webinars on Spark tuning and Spark recommendations.

"Save money on your big data workloads"
What do you like best about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

The capacity optimizer has been proven to save a lot of money. What I like best about the product, though, is the support we have received throughout our journey of migrating our EMR clusters from EC2 to EKS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer?

There are still some features that need to be worked out for EMR on EKS and EMR Notebooks, but the Pepperdata team is actively working on these. These are relatively new offerings, so it's not surprising that there is still some work that needs to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
