One of the best courses on Big Data. I have been searching for something like this for a while. I have taken many other courses before but the way Sumit takes you to the journey of Big Data is quite unique. He starts off with a big picture and explains each and every aspect of Hadoop with hands on exercises. Highly recommended. Must for anyone to learn hadoop the right way.

The course also helped me to learn big data processing framework and algorithms broadly. Particularly the use of Hadoop virtual machine was useful as I could easily do it on my laptop. Sure, the course can prepare us for Cloudera's business analyst certification.

Before I enrolled for the course, I was not a confident big data analyst. However, the course has changed me a lot and made me more confident with a broad spectrum of big data technologies learning. I could gain excellent knowledge in the basics of big data, Hadoop, Pig, and Hive, apart from Machine learning and SQL. The exercises were so good that I gained practical knowledge in the work of data science. In addition, one can learn much more on the usage of big data in different verticals and newly evolving field of IOT and Cybersecurity.

The program prepares you for Cloudera's business analyst certification. Additionally, you get a deeper understanding of the management of big data in several verticals and newly expanding area of IOT and security. All in all, it is a rather useful course for skilled people as they can brush up on their familiarity with improvements in big data.
