Cloudera’s platform has several differentiating attributes that make it unique, including:

Differences from commercial ALTERNATIVES: Cloudera offers differentiating capabilities such as production-grade interactive SQL and Search on HADOOP; comprehensive system management with rolling upgrades, automated disaster recovery, CENTRALIZED security, proactive health checks, and multi-cluster management; and simplified data management with granular auditing and access control capabilities.

Differences from stock Apache Hadoop: Although Cloudera's platform contains the same code that can be found in the “upstream” Hadoop ECOSYSTEM projects, on a regular (quarterly) basis, Cloudera ships new bug fixes and stable features for users of its platform on a quarterly basis (and contributes them to the upstream code base, as well). Thus, Cloudera customers get predictable and regular access to platform improvements, along with the assurances of rigorous testing and upstream compatibility.
