"Databricks - Powerful Product for all Data and AI Needs"

4/5

What do you like best about Databricks?

Databricks Data platform is single unified, democratized solution for all data needs, I really like the recently launched SQL warehouse serverless feature where you don't need to worry about ec2 machines provisioning as well in your cloud account. Apart from it, I really like unity catalog , sql alerts, databricks dashboards features and creating automated workflow(jobs flow) either via databricks api or integrating Databricks Airflow operator. The visibility that databricks provide via audit tables like infrastructure cost, checking user activities etc. is something that set it apart. Also Pandas Spark Api provides us feasiblity to use distributed computing in existing python pandas code without much changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databricks?

Sometimes there are unplanned downtime for the platform which irritates us. Some documentation pages lacks examples. The AI assistant right now only able to solve/give sql responses only for simple sql asks. In cases of complex sql and sql failures, the `Diagnose error` is not relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Databricks solving and how is that benefiting you?

The benefit that we are getting from databricks platform is that we don't need to manage inhouse spark plus cataloging service and we as a data team can focus more on generating useful insights from raw data. Using Databricks All Purpose clusters, we are able to provide our customer (Business Analytics, Product, Backend) separate clusters to do adhoc analysis such that one system doesn't impact other one. We are able to generate quick ROI in terms of performance and less query errors while migrating from Amazon redshift to databricks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
