"I like working on Databricks"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Databricks?

Databricks allow us to access data via pyspark, python and sql.

The interface is easy to use and most of my work is spent there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databricks?

I was told the model training part is more costly in Databricks than in Azure.

So some of the jobs need to be done in databricks and some of the jobs need to be done on Azure.

It will be good if cost is not an issue when choosing platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
