AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Databricks Data Intelligence Platform excels in user satisfaction, boasting a significantly higher overall score compared to Hortonworks Data Platform. Users appreciate its usable interface and the ability to manage security and access data files across multiple cloud environments seamlessly.
- According to verified reviews, Hortonworks Data Platform is recognized for its strong foundation as an open-source Apache Hadoop based platform, which provides users with a variety of tools and flexibility. Reviewers highlight the convenience of the Ambari UI for managing clusters, making it easier to get started.
- Users say that Databricks offers a superior experience when it comes to scaling large language models and generative AI applications. The platform's interactive notebooks that support SQL and Python for visualization are particularly praised for enhancing productivity.
- Reviewers mention that while Hortonworks provides a robust set of tools, it sometimes struggles with configuration challenges that can hinder users from fully optimizing their workflows. This contrasts with Databricks, where users report a smoother implementation process and effective autoscaling features that help reduce cloud resource costs.
- According to recent feedback, Databricks Data Intelligence Platform has a strong support system, with users noting that support teams are responsive and timely. In comparison, while Hortonworks has received positive remarks for its partnership approach, it may not match the level of support that Databricks users experience.
- G2 reviewers highlight that both platforms cater to enterprise needs, but Hortonworks has a higher percentage of reviews from enterprise users. However, Databricks' overall higher ratings in areas like ease of use and quality of support suggest it may be more suitable for teams looking for a user-friendly experience.
