Helps users with data processing and analytics
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
The biggest problem associated with the product is that it is quite pricey. We cannot find a better solution than Databricks in the market currently.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Databricks for a year.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is an expensive tool. The licensing model is a pay-as-you-go one.
What other advice do I have?
The tool helps with data processing and analytics with large-scale data or big data since it is associated with managing data at a large scale.
For my general use cases, I would say that I am not a technical person, so I cannot explain to you how the tool helps with the area of data engineering tasks.
There is another team in my company that is involved in the use of machine learning and AI features in Databricks. My team is mostly into operations. The tool is used in a multi-country project.
For example, in my company, they make some shopping decisions related to solutions based on what is the product chosen by the whole company.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Databricks Review
What do you like best about the product?
The greatest upside to the Databricks Platform that it's constantly being developed. Databricks as well as other companies are developing code and utilities to run on this platform. Notably Mosaic AI, has a tool called Mosaic Composer that is a low-code acellerator for training AI models which has been very benefical to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that Databricks is beginning to abstract some of the configurability options available. For example, Databricks serverless. I want to keep the ability to tailor a cluster and libaries specific to my use-case rather than it handled by Databricks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Decreasing time from data to model.
Slice through billions of records like butter
What do you like best about the product?
As a data scientist I'm able to analyze billions of records from my web browser without having to worry about memory or CPU limitations on my laptop.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of ways to configure the platform which can be intimidating for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enable analysis of large datasets that was not possible with legacy tools.

Interesting Product for Data Science
What do you like best about the product?
Data lineage is one of the valuable features I like in Unity Catalog. It makes it easy for us to do data debugging and analysis of data calculations with access control.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, but for ease of understanding, the data lineage visualization section needed some work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the data science project, many times we needed to verify and recheck the calculations of the KPI matrix and what table and transformation were needed for this. We had difficulty tracing back the flow of calculations through the original data. The Unity Catalog directly provides a data lineage feature for this. We can easily determine what data transfer was required and how this KPI matrix was calculated from the original data through the dashboard and graphs with the access control feature.
Databricks - Powerful Product for all Data and AI Needs
What do you like best about the product?
Databricks Data platform is single unified, democratized solution for all data needs, I really like the recently launched SQL warehouse serverless feature where you don't need to worry about ec2 machines provisioning as well in your cloud account. Apart from it, I really like unity catalog , sql alerts, databricks dashboards features and creating automated workflow(jobs flow) either via databricks api or integrating Databricks Airflow operator. The visibility that databricks provide via audit tables like infrastructure cost, checking user activities etc. is something that set it apart. Also Pandas Spark Api provides us feasiblity to use distributed computing in existing python pandas code without much changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are unplanned downtime for the platform which irritates us. Some documentation pages lacks examples. The AI assistant right now only able to solve/give sql responses only for simple sql asks. In cases of complex sql and sql failures, the `Diagnose error` is not relevant.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefit that we are getting from databricks platform is that we don't need to manage inhouse spark plus cataloging service and we as a data team can focus more on generating useful insights from raw data. Using Databricks All Purpose clusters, we are able to provide our customer (Business Analytics, Product, Backend) separate clusters to do adhoc analysis such that one system doesn't impact other one. We are able to generate quick ROI in terms of performance and less query errors while migrating from Amazon redshift to databricks
