What do you like best about the product?
The platform is easy to use and collaborate with my colleagues. Deploying to production is simple and can be even easier if you choose the non-self-hosted option. Although Databricks does some of the heavy lifting, it's still open enough to allow teams to use their own flexibility and complex processes without too much configuration. "

Databricks Lakehouse: Some Pros and Cons

  • March 09, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Keep updating the notebook platform (e,g, keep adding new features such as local variables track).
- MLFLOW experiment and Model registry, where all trained models can be tracked and registered in one place
What do you dislike about the product?
Connect my local code in Visual code to my Databricks cluster so I can run the code on the cluster. The old databricks-connect approach has many bugs and is hard to set up. The new Databricks extension on Visual Code, doesn't allow the developers to debug their code line by line (only we can run the code).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dealing with big data and being able to train different models that address many problems in my business. In addition to its computational capabilities, using Databricks allowed us to do all development in one platform.

Databrick Lakehouse Review

  • March 07, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the best analytical databases currently available in the market and can handle all formats of data ranging from structured, semi-structured, to unstructured.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything I particularly don't like. If there is, I would say the SPARK statistical modeling libraries are still quite limited comparing with the packages from R, SAS, or Python.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Databricks help us solve the data integration and processing legacy issues and also can provide AI, ML, statistical modeling functionalities and enable my team to build predictive models

I like working on Databricks

  • March 06, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Databricks allow us to access data via pyspark, python and sql.
The interface is easy to use and most of my work is spent there.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was told the model training part is more costly in Databricks than in Azure.
So some of the jobs need to be done in databricks and some of the jobs need to be done on Azure.
It will be good if cost is not an issue when choosing platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
move of ETL and analysis are done in databircks for me.

Key to modern data management platform

  • March 02, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the key advantages of Databricks Lakehouse Platform is its unified approach to data management, which allows organizations to manage all types of data, including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured, in a single location. This simplifies data management and provides a unified view of all data, enabling better decision-making.

Another advantage is its scalability and performance. Databricks Lakehouse Platform is designed to handle large volumes of data and can scale horizontally as well as vertically. It also provides high-speed data processing and query performance, thanks to its distributed architecture and optimized computing engines.

The platform's built-in capabilities for machine learning and AI is another advantage. This allows organizations to easily integrate machine learning and AI into their data workflows and derive insights and value from their data.
What do you dislike about the product?
One potential challenge is the learning curve associated with the platform. Databricks Lakehouse Platform requires a certain level of technical expertise and familiarity with the tools and technologies used in the platform, such as Apache Spark, SQL, and Python. This can make it challenging for some organizations to adopt the platform, especially if they lack the necessary expertise.

Another potential limitation is the cost associated with the platform. Databricks Lakehouse Platform is a commercial product, and as such, it requires a subscription or licensing fee. This can be a barrier to entry for some organizations, especially smaller ones with limited budgets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Silos: With traditional data management approaches, data is often stored in separate silos, making it difficult to access and integrate data from different sources. Databricks Lakehouse Platform provides a unified approach to data management, allowing organizations to manage all types of data in a single location and providing a unified view of all data.

Scalability and Performance: As data volumes continue to grow, traditional data management approaches may struggle to handle the volume and complexity of data. Databricks Lakehouse Platform is designed to scale horizontally and vertically, allowing organizations to handle large volumes of data and providing high-speed data processing and query performance.

Security and Governance: With data privacy regulations becoming increasingly stringent, organizations need to ensure that their data is secure and compliant with regulations. Databricks Lakehouse Platform provides robust security and governance features, including access control, auditing, and compliance monitoring.

AI and Machine Learning Integration: As organizations look to derive insights and value from their data, machine learning and AI have become essential tools. Databricks Lakehouse Platform provides built-in capabilities for machine learning and AI, allowing organizations to easily integrate these tools into their data workflows.
