Hortonworks is a great company, great product but I think it should recognize it has a big problem with its exam provider.Complaints about the exam environment and the subsequent delivery is very poor and appaling. Personally, My friend sat for exam but I encountered the same problem on first attempt network issues.

It need attention hortonworks developers/engineers are getting frustrated with the PSI exam environment but hortonworks is doing nothing to resolve the problem, delays in delivering exam results are unacceptable when there is an SLA.

If hortonworks wants consultants to deliver your products and compete with other vendors for its promotion I think they should rethink the exam delivery process for God's sake.

1) For simple error/output not able to check in Given Window .
2) For scroll up/down is very slow and not as user friendly .
3) Not alone person to complaint like this, many people are there and you can check in community.
4) If you not able to kindly close the Certification, at least we wont try to get certified from Hortonworks.


Dear don't screw up such a nice product! Report to the responsible managers 🙂

Finally I did the following and Certification team has refunded the amount.

1) Reached to Hortonwords Customer care on contact number.

2) Shared Cerfitification registered number and name of person.

3) Raised the complaint on Issue with certification and raised ticket on our request.

4) After 2 week certification team has refunded the amount.

As they confirmed , upgrading the Certification Platform from Aug 2018. Will check review, if no complaints will try to take cerfitication again. Hope it helps.
