"One-Stop Solution with Robust Security, Needs Better Handling of Large Datasets"

0/5

What do you like best about Databricks?

I really appreciate the Databricks Unity Catalog for enforcing data policies, as it’s ready to use and offers enterprise-grade security that helps our data lakehouse with all access controls and compliance. It's a one hub solution, especially valuable for organizations that are tightly governed, like us. We also use Spark as a service, Phoenix, and Fortran Gemini quite a lot, which makes it a perfect solution for our data analytics and data hub. The initial setup was pretty straightforward, involving some architectural discussions with the Databricks team, and it went smoothly over a few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databricks?

When acquiring larger data sheets, we often see problems. We are still looking to better refine our data access patterns for end users, especially on bigger datasets which are heavy compute intensive. This makes interactive queries and what-if analysis take quite a bit of time, making them not so interactive for the end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Databricks for its enterprise-grade security and compliance, especially with the Unity Catalog, which aids in enforcing data policies and access control. It's a one-stop solution for data analytics and management, crucial for regulated industries like ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Severe Pricing Miscalculations and Inadequate Remediation"

0.5/5

What do you like best about Databricks?

The platform itself is relatively easy to use and quick to stand up. Initial setup was straightforward, and core workflows were accessible without excessive configuration. From a purely technical standpoint, the product is usable and well-designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databricks?

Databricks needs to take real accountability for pricing accuracy and post-sale remediation. Their usage and pricing calculator was materially wrong for our use case (off by ~10x), and we raised concerns early. We never received the level of attention or corrective action needed to resolve it properly.

We ended up paying more than 10x the expected cost, with only the final quarter partially rebated, which is not a meaningful remedy. Databricks declined responsibility and instead referenced emails sent after the contract was signed, which did not align with when the issue was identified.

This experience has made us seriously reconsider alternatives like Snowflake. My advice to others: be extremely cautious with Databricks’ pricing estimates and assume you will bear the risk if they are wrong. Once the contract is signed, resolution is difficult, and revenue protection appears to take priority over customer outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Databricks Data Intelligence Platform helps by crunching the numbers, making it easier for us to handle data analysis for our machine learning models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overpriced and doesnt add anything we werent doing before"

0.5/5

What do you like best about Databricks?

It does some compute things nicely and there are some security things in place (but not enough!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databricks?

Trying to automate the infrastructure is difficult, and some things are impossible to automate as they are only available on the web console and not through APIs.

Their support is beyond bad. We had to give up working with them as it wasted too much time. Never got a solution in place. Their support is not equipped to debug problems in their own product and they do not give any alternative solutions.

I would look elsewhere for datalake solutions. There are more mature technologies out there without the limitations databricks brings. they also are less expensive and easier to deal with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
