"Databricks' performance when serving the data to an analytics tool isn't as good as Snowflake's."

"A lot of people are required to manage this solution."

Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance."

"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."

"The product is expensive."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
