"Effortless Data Processing and Seamless Azure Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Azure Databricks?

The platform manages large-scale data processing with impressive smoothness, and its interface becomes quite user-friendly after a short learning curve. Integrating it with other Azure services is straightforward, which significantly speeds up the implementation process. I appreciate the variety of features available for ETL and analytics, allowing us to use it regularly for a range of different workloads. When problems arise, the documentation and support resources are generally sufficient to help resolve issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Databricks?

Sometimes, the platform can seem a little complicated for newcomers, and it may take some time for clusters to start up. Managing costs is not always straightforward, and certain features require additional configuration. While support is generally helpful, response times can occasionally be slow.

"“Robust cloud-based big data platform for migration and day-to-day analytics”"
5/5
What do you like best about Azure Databricks?

Azure Databricks gave us a unified platform to run our Spark workloads on top of Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. We could migrate our on-prem Hadoop data and pipelines into the cloud with minimal re-engineering. Its managed clusters, autoscaling, notebooks, and tight integration with Azure services (ADLS, Key Vault, ADF) saved a lot of infrastructure and maintenance effort. PySpark notebooks made development and debugging much easier compared to our previous setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Databricks?

Cluster start-up times can still be slow for quick tests. Pricing is consumption-based and can become expensive if clusters are left running or poorly sized. Some enterprise features (e.g., fine-grained security, monitoring) require extra configuration. And compared to on-prem Hadoop, there’s a learning curve for workspace permissions and DevOps automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
