Cloudera vs Databricks in our news:
2022. Cloudera launches its all-in-one SaaS data lakehouse

Cloudera, the Hadoop-centric big data company is now putting its emphasis on becoming the unified data fabric for hybrid data platforms. The company took a next step in this direction with the launch of its Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) One data lakehouse as a service (LaaS?). This managed offering is meant to give enterprises a platform to enable self-service analytics and data access for more of their employees. The company calls it the “first all-in-one data lakehouse SaaS offering”, though Databricks, which popularized the lakehouse concept, also offers SaaS-based solutions. It makes for good marketing copy, though, and Cloudera argues that its service is the first to combine compute, storage, ML, streaming analytics and enterprise security.
