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

"The most valuable features of the solution are the hardware and the resources it quickly provides without much hassle."
"The Delta Lake data type has been the most useful part of this solution. Delta Lake is an opensource data type and it was implemented and invented by Databricks."
"The time travel feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The setup is quite easy."
"Databricks allows me to automate the creation of a cluster, optimized for machine learning and construct AI machine learning models for the client."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Databricks is a scalable solution. It is the largest advantage of the solution."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more documentation in terms of how an end-user could use it, and users like me can easily try it and implement use cases."
"The tool should improve its integration with other products."
"If I want to create a Databricks account, I need to have a prior cloud account such as an AWS account or an Azure account. Only then can I create a Databricks account on the cloud. However, if they can make it so that I can still try Databricks even if I don't have a cloud account on AWS and Azure, it would be great. That is, it would be nice if it were possible to create a pseudo account and be provided with a free trial. It is very essential to creating a workforce on Databricks. For example, students or corporate staff can then explore and learn Databricks."
"The ability to customize our own pipelines would enhance the product, similar to what's possible using ML files in Microsoft Azure DevOps."
"The pricing of Databricks could be cheaper."
"The product could be improved by offering an expansion of their visualization capabilities, which currently assists in development in their notebook environment."
"The stability of the clusters or the instances of Databricks would be better if it was a much more stable environment. We've had issues with crashes."
"I would like more integration with SQL for using data in different workspaces."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Databricks is a very expensive solution. Pricing is an area that could definitely be improved. They could provide a lower end compute and probably reduce the price."
"We're charged on what the data throughput is and also what the compute time is."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price of Databricks is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"I rate the price of Databricks as eight out of ten."
"I am based in South Africa, where it is expensive adapting to the cloud, and then there is the price for the tool itself."
"We have only incurred the cost of our AWS cloud services. This is because during this period, Databricks provided us with an extended evaluation period, and we have not spent much money yet. We are just starting to incur costs this month, I will know more later on the full cost perspective."
"The solution is based on a licensing model."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
