It is very easy to use Databricks notebook, with Python and Databricks capability to connect to various Azure Storage Services has been excellent and made my data analytics project successful.

What do you dislike about Azure Databricks?

union on 50GB+ csv file took several hours, hopefully we can focus on performance in the future. Mosty performance on data fetching from Database through API should be worked upon, it sometimes takes hours to get few gigabytes of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using Databricks in Data Cleaning Projects. It is very easy to use with Python and you don't need to process the whole file in some application and wait hours for the output. I can do the processing in chunks and later on, I can integrate those chunks. I am also using Databricks for the Data Modeling process, which provides me the resulted file which can be a source file for PowerBI and other Data Visualisation Tool. It is time and cost consuming for me. I have used Databricks for doing Delta Processing and then move the data to the cloud. It is very easy for Databricks to integrate it with various Azure Services like Azure Blobs, Azure Data Lake, Azure Synapse, etc. It definitely saves time and cost.
