Summary Despite recent product innovations, the market is not too pleased with @Cloudera . Some believe that the company is "likely to die a slow death" as its offerings fail to impress customers and the financials continue to bleed. Bigger players like @Amazon, @Microsoft, @Oracle and @Google have all released their #Hadoop offerings. To counter their growth, smaller players like Cloudera have had little choice but to engage in a price war - a move that could make the company's profitability a distant dream. According to a report published by SNS Research late last year, the global big data hardware, software and professional services markets were estimated to grow to $57 billion last year. The researcher estimates that through the period 2020, the market will grow 10% annually to $76 billion. Big Data vendor and Billion-Dollar Unicorn club member Cloudera (NYSE:CLDR) listed last year.
