A unified platform for all our analytics processing
Processes tremendous data easily
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case is in our project; we are dealing with Duo Special Data, where we need a lot of computing resources. Here, the traditional warehouse cannot handle the amount of data we are using, and this is where Databricks comes into the picture.
What is most valuable?
The processing capacity is tremendous in the database. We are dealing with Azure as storage, so we have not faced any challenges. And also the connectors to different data sources. Moreover, it is not a language-dependent tool. Therefore, development also takes place faster. It is one of the best features of Databricks.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in the documentation of processes and how it works. I was trying to get one of the certifications, so I saw an area of improvement there.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Databricks for eight to nine months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable product for us. We didn't see any challenges.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are around 30 to 35 users in our organization.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was easy because the third-party team made the clusters for us.
What about the implementation team?
A third-party team enabled the cluster to make the setup easy for us.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise using it based on the use case because it easily handles big data. It is your go-to tool if you are dealing with massive data.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The tool performs well in various use cases, availability of documentation online, and compatibility with big data systems like GCP, Azure, or AWS.

Databricks has been absolute productivity tool
What do you like best about the product?
Databricks come with everything in one place, and that is the best thing about the platform. Now I don't have to go to EMR page to create an ERM and then create a notebook. All these can be done with just one click and one page. One gets to jump from notebooks to Query service and to AI in just one click. You get data store views, auto type suggestions based on table and schema context. All these makes the experience very smooth and fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Queries get refreshed once in a while, where if some queries are not saved explicitly get deleted.
There is no dark mode, hence have to use a white theme.
Sometimes your queries get pushed to long queues which takes a lot of time and can be little frustrating.

- Adhoc queries on datalake, data profiling on various schema and tables.
- Creating and testing data pipelines using notebooks with various language support.
- Quick, easy, and on-demand resource creation and termination.

Databricks allow us to access data via pyspark, python and sql.

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.

move of ETL and analysis are done in databircks for me.
