Databricks has been absolute productivity tool
What do you like best about the product?
Databricks come with everything in one place, and that is the best thing about the platform. Now I don't have to go to EMR page to create an ERM and then create a notebook. All these can be done with just one click and one page. One gets to jump from notebooks to Query service and to AI in just one click. You get data store views, auto type suggestions based on table and schema context. All these makes the experience very smooth and fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Queries get refreshed once in a while, where if some queries are not saved explicitly get deleted.
There is no dark mode, hence have to use a white theme.
Sometimes your queries get pushed to long queues which takes a lot of time and can be little frustrating.

Databricks Review
What do you like best about the product?
Best for Analytics, we also got started off first using Fivetran and it was the easiest destination for us to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting setup wasnt the easiest thing to do, also the UI feels a little old.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our use case is a little different, first we needed a destination when we were using Fivetran for connectors so we needed a place to put data in from the connectors we had setup using Fivetran and Databricks was the best solution for that.
We were also building analytics solutions and so Databricks also capture that well for us as well.

One stop solution for Multi-cloud architecture
What do you like best about the product?
It is the best datalake even when compared to the offerings by AWS, GCP or Azure due to its proprietary delta lake technology
What do you dislike about the product?
No offering for developers to debug their code line by line
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It served as a data warehouse for all our unstructured data with super fast retrieval
A great platform to realize business value through DE, ML and analytics"
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is easy to use and collaborate with my colleagues. Deploying to production is simple and can be even easier if you choose the non-self-hosted option. Although Databricks does some of the heavy lifting, it's still open enough to allow teams to use their own flexibility and complex processes without too much configuration. "
What do you dislike about the product?
Platforms constantly change as they adapt, so staying on top of everything can be difficult. - If you don't have a CICD system in place, once you hit a certain number it starts to get difficult to manage.

Databricks Lakehouse: Some Pros and Cons
What do you like best about the product?
- Keep updating the notebook platform (e,g, keep adding new features such as local variables track).
- MLFLOW experiment and Model registry, where all trained models can be tracked and registered in one place
- MLFLOW experiment and Model registry, where all trained models can be tracked and registered in one place
What do you dislike about the product?
Connect my local code in Visual code to my Databricks cluster so I can run the code on the cluster. The old databricks-connect approach has many bugs and is hard to set up. The new Databricks extension on Visual Code, doesn't allow the developers to debug their code line by line (only we can run the code).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dealing with big data and being able to train different models that address many problems in my business. In addition to its computational capabilities, using Databricks allowed us to do all development in one platform.
Databricks is a one stop solution for all Analytics, Data Engineering and ML related projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease to switch between Python, Pyspark and sql in the same notebook.
What do you dislike about the product?
The spark cluster needs to get connected faster in community edition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster ingestion of big data

Databrick Lakehouse Review
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best analytical databases currently available in the market and can handle all formats of data ranging from structured, semi-structured, to unstructured.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything I particularly don't like. If there is, I would say the SPARK statistical modeling libraries are still quite limited comparing with the packages from R, SAS, or Python.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Databricks help us solve the data integration and processing legacy issues and also can provide AI, ML, statistical modeling functionalities and enable my team to build predictive models
I like working on Databricks
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.
