Databricks, a rising hero for your complex data problems!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of working at a cloud based data system (compatible with Azure/AWS/GCP) is far more better than those slow, laggy, boring legacy data warehouse systems like hadoop and others. Due to its Spark engine based built, big data processing is speedy, efficient and scalable.
Its a go to solution to my data warehouse / data lake based problems, the best of both worlds. One can integrate variety of data sources/formats like SQL-NoSQL, excel, csv, streaming data, APIs,etc. One can use a feature called Autoloader that eases our implementations of detecting and loading any kinda data in Delta Lake tables without any hard coding.
The platform is designed in such a way that in my 1 year of daily usage I haven't faced any kind of unexpected downtime/issue on platform for which I have to reach out to their customer support group.
I would highly recommend Databricks Lakehouse Platform to anyone who is looking for a powerful and flexible analytics platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
Browsing and accessing is a bit confusing if one is working on a resource group accounts which could have several main and segregated user based notebooks/files, accessing them is tideous task as a developer, one has to open a seperate new tab just for browsing or opening a seperate file/notebook for referencing puposes. Another thing is the frequency of UI changes in every few months, once a person gets comfortable/used to, a new UI update would pop up making it difficult for a person to adapt these changes once again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From its suit of features, it helped me processing daily arriving data from APIs and CSVs from a railway networking website platform, turing it into an Analytical solution in form of dashboard KPIs which play a vital role in taking key decisions and maintaining a lossless on-schedule railway network for real world users of the web product. It has helped me and my team in reducing operational overhead cost with its performance and reliability featues like data versioning and schema enforcement. It has also facilitated collaboration and communication in my team who are working from different corners of world remotely.

What do you dislike about the product?
Managing Cost is complicated when comes to non-DLT based pipleines in terms of capapcity planning of teh clusters, but can be solved through DLT & SQL warehouse endpoints
Vendor-lock in terms of using DELTA format with DLT based pipelines but soon this fomrats will be supported in otehr platforms
Databricks is not GUI based drag-drp ETL framework tool, learning curve in terms of spark, scal, python or SQL programming language is required

A Robust Solution for Big Data Management and Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how Databricks Lakehouse Platform merges the strengths of data lakes and data warehouses, creating a unified space for handling data tasks. It’s like having the best of both worlds which simplifies data management and analytics significantly. The collaborative notebooks are a cherry on top, fostering teamwork and making iterative development smooth among our data teams. Plus, the high-speed analytics capabilities ensure that data queries and sharing are a breeze, which is crucial for our day-to-day decision-making processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial hill to climb in terms of learning can be a bit steep, especially if you're new to big data platforms. It felt like a slow start, but once past that hurdle, things started to click. The cost factor can be a bit of a pinch, especially for smaller setups or projects on a tight budget. While there's a decent amount of guidance out there, the documentation can sometimes leave you wanting more, especially when you hit complex or unique challenges that require a deeper dive to navigate through.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Databricks Lakehouse Platform is tackling the headache of juggling between data lakes and data warehouses. It's kind of bundled the two into one neat package, making data management and analytics way less complicated. This fusion is cutting down on the tech pile-up in our projects big time, making it simpler to switch between data engineering and data science chores. When it comes to number crunching, the platform's speedy analytics is making queries quick and data sharing reliable, which is big for our decision-making. The collaborative notebooks are a cool feature too, they're encouraging teamwork and making back-and-forth on development ideas smoother among our data teams. There’s a bit to chew on initially learning-wise and the pricing can sting a little, but the payback in simpler data operations and better teamwork is solid.
Experience with databricks

What do you dislike about the product?
I have mostly used azure databricks which some time takes lot of time to get started and and some time it didn't even start.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Interoperability and no vendor lock-in.
End-to-end support for machine learning and faster AI delivery.

Databricks - A breath of Fresh air in Big Data
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about the Databricks Lakehouse platform is the integration of traditional, tried and tested big data technologies with a UI that is welcoming, refined and revolutionary!
What do you dislike about the product?
The older ui for the platform had well separated elements for data science, data engineering and SQL Workspace. In an effort to combine them in the sidebar, the new UI tries too hard and ends up as a laggy and chaotic mess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the databricks lakehouse platform brings out the best of open source together, stitched beautifully in a notebook based UI that feels welcoming and way less intimidating than a traditional Spark distributions.
The platform has a solution for every data person, including but not limited to a Notebook that works with Scala, Python, R and SQL, a traditional SQL Editor, downloadable datasets and in house visualisations just a click away!
