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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like cloud scalability and data access for any type of user."
"I would rate them ten out of ten."
"Databricks has improved my organization by allowing us to transform data from sources to a different format and feed that to the analytics, business intelligence, and reporting teams. This tool makes it easy to do those kinds of things."
"The setup is quite easy."
"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."
"Ability to work collaboratively without having to worry about the infrastructure."
"We have the ability to scale, collaborate and do machine learning."
"Databricks integrates well with other solutions."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"I have seen better user interfaces, so that is something that can be improved."
"Doesn't provide a lot of credits or trial options."
"The Databricks cluster can be improved."
"The product could be improved regarding the delay when switching to higher-performing virtual machines compared to other platforms."
"The tool should improve its integration with other products."
"It would be nice to have more guidance on integrations with ETLs and other data quality tools."
"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."
"It's not easy to use, and they need a better UI."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Databricks are not costly when compared with other solutions' prices."
"I am based in South Africa, where it is expensive adapting to the cloud, and then there is the price for the tool itself."
"The solution uses a pay-per-use model with an annual subscription fee or package. Typically this solution is used on a cloud platform, such as Azure or AWS, but more people are choosing Azure because the price is more reasonable."
"The licensing costs of Databricks depend on how many licenses we need, depending on which Databricks provides a lot of discounts."
"We're charged on what the data throughput is and also what the compute time is."
"The basic version of this solution is now open-source, so there are no license costs involved. However, there is a charge for any advanced functionality and this can be quite expensive."
"The solution is a good value for batch processing and huge workloads."
"The price is okay. It's competitive."
