5/5

What do you like best about Databricks?

I've being using Azure Databricks everyday for the last 5 years, it allow easy corporate level security and governance. Relieve us on the need to deal with the setting up of clusters and bring to us the most up to date technologies in the data world.

The customer support has been effective, with people that really want to help. We were able to integrate with the Azure services, usually easier then when use native Azure like Data Factory and Synapses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databricks?

The notebook only concept was the most downside of Databricks, Not being able to follow the usual ways of working of the development was really critical, even though the notebooks allow easy testing and data analysis. Gladly it was solved it year by a better integration with IDEs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
