"Solid Data Platform"

4/5

What do you like best about Databricks?

Fast iterative abilities and notebook baseed UI. It is also helpful to have multiple contributors on a single notebook at one time. You can see where others are in the notebook which helps with collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databricks?

The UI frequently exhibits unintended behavior. I will occasionally have random characters added to random cells in the notebook causing errors. It makes debugging difficult when you made no changes and a working cell is now causing errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
