Governance And Engagement Lead
Improved data governance has enabled sensitive data tracking but cost management still needs work
I believe we could improve Databricks integration with cloud service providers. The impact of our current integration has not been particularly good, and it's becoming very expensive for us. The inefficiencies in our implementation, such as not shutting down warehouses when they're not in use or reserving the right number of credits, have led to increased costs. We made several beginner mistakes, such as not taking advantage of incremental loading and running overly complicated queries all the time. We should be using ETL tools to help us instead of doing it directly in Databricks. We need more experienced professionals to manage Databricks effectively, as it's not as forgiving as other platforms such as Snowflake. I think introducing customer repositories would facilitate easier implementation with Databricks.

I use TIBCO Statistica for quality control, creating profile control charts, and employing basic statistical tools in production. Some clients prefer advanced options like neural networks and decision trees for more in-depth analysis. TIBCO Statistica helps us meet a range of statistical needs for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Databricks is a one-stop shop for everything data related, and it can scale with you."
"Databricks has a Unified Catalog that assists with secured access and governance."
"I like how easy it is to share your notebook with others. You can give people permission to read or edit. I think that's a great feature. You can also pull in code from GitHub pretty easily. I didn't use it that often, but I think that's a cool feature."
"The solution is built from Spark and has integration with MLflow, which is important for our use case."
"Databricks integrates well with other solutions."
"Ability to work collaboratively without having to worry about the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the Spark cluster which is very fast for heavy loads, big data processing and Pi Spark."
"You can spin up an Azure Databricks clustered, and integrating with it is seamless."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"Pricing is one of the things that could be improved. Also, there could be improvement in the visual analytics space there and on the machine learning functions."
"In my opinion, areas of Databricks that have room for improvement involve the dashboards. Until recently, everyone used third-party systems such as Power BI to connect to Databricks for dashboards and reports, but they're now coming up with their IBI dashboard, and I think they're on the right track to improve that even further."
"I think the automatic categorization of variables needs to be improved; the current functionality is not always efficiently identifying the features of the data that is collected."
"Costs can quickly add up if you don't plan for it."
"CI/CD needs additional leverage and support."
"This solution only supports queries in SQL and Python, which is a bit limiting."
"The product should provide more advanced features in future releases."
"The solution could be improved by integrating it with data packets. Right now, the load tables provide a function, like team collaboration. Still, it's unclear as to if there's a function to create different branches and/or more branches. Our team had used data packets before, however, I feel it's difficult to integrate the current with the previous data packets."
"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

"It is an expensive tool. The licensing model is a pay-as-you-go one."
"The solution is based on a licensing model."
"The price of Databricks is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"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."
"We only pay for the Azure compute behind the solution."
"The licensing costs of Databricks depend on how many licenses we need, depending on which Databricks provides a lot of discounts."
"I'm not involved in the financing, but I can say that the solution seemed reasonably priced compared to the competitors. Similar products are usually in the same price range. With five being affordable and one being expensive, I would rate Databricks a four out of five."
"We find Databricks to be very expensive, although this improved when we found out how to shut it down at night."
