Capability to integrate diverse coding languages in a single notebook greatly enhances workflow
Databricks offers various courses that I can use, whether it's PySpark, Scala, or R. I can leverage all these courses in a single notebook, which is beneficial for clients as they can access various tools in one place whenever needed. This is quite significant. I usually work with PySpark based on client requirements. After coding, I feed the Databricks notebooks into the ADF pipeline for updates. Databricks' capability to process data in parallel enhances data processing speed. Furthermore, I can connect our Databricks notebook directly with Power BI and other visualization tools like Qlik. Once we develop code, it allows us to transform raw data into visualizations for clients using analysis diagrams, which is very helpful.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Databricks' capability to process data in parallel enhances data processing speed."
"Databricks is a scalable solution. It is the largest advantage of the solution."
"Databricks' Lakehouse architecture has been most useful for us. The data governance has been absolutely efficient in between other kinds of solutions."
"Imageflow is a visual tool that helps make it easier for business people to understand complex workflows."
"The most valuable feature of Databricks is the notebook, data factory, and ease of use."
"Specifically for data science and data analytics purposes, it can handle large amounts of data in less time. I can compare it with Teradata. If a job takes five hours with Teradata databases, Databricks can complete it in around three to three and a half hours."
"Databricks gives you the flexibility of using several programming languages independently or in combination to build models."
"The solution is an impressive tool for data migration and integration."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have more guidance on integrations with ETLs and other data quality tools."
"Some of the error messages that we receive are too vague, saying things like "unknown exception", and these should be improved to make it easier for developers to debug problems."
"Anyone who doesn't know SQL may find the product difficult to work with."
"Can be improved by including drag-and-drop features."
"Implementation of Databricks is still very code heavy."
"I would love an integration in my desktop IDE. For now, I have to code on their webpage."
"I have had some issues with some of the Spark clusters running on Databricks, where the Spark runtime and clusters go up and down, which is an area for improvement."
"The product cannot be integrated with a popular coding IDE."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs of Databricks depend on how many licenses we need, depending on which Databricks provides a lot of discounts."
"We implement this solution on behalf of our customers who have their own Azure subscription and they pay for Databricks themselves. The pricing is more expensive if you have large volumes of data."
"We find Databricks to be very expensive, although this improved when we found out how to shut it down at night."
"The cost is around $600,000 for 50 users."
"The solution requires a subscription."
"There are different versions."
"The product pricing is moderate."
"Price-wise, I would rate Databricks a three out of five."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
