Rapidly Improving AI Platform With Flexible Tooling
What do you like best about the product?
Scheduled jobs, pre-installed ML environments, abundance of documentation and example use cases. There are a lot of best practices available through the Spark AI conference also.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their Spark install is not always compatible with 3rd party tools (ex: geospatial) causing a delay in some package availability until an extra release. Some gotachs with distributed model training (Horovod).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are training models to forecast weather and have been able to achieve scale without having to do create a custom architecture. We now have experimentation happening 10X faster than before.

Databricks as a market leader
What do you like best about the product?
It is a one-stop shop for all. It is clearly the best data processing solution that I have ever used.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is still room for improvements - for example, when you deploy, it could be nice to set the configuration of DBFS storage (is it LRS or GRS, etc.). When VMs are deployed, there should be more options to configure hard drives. It is a minor issue related to administrative tasks, but anyway, it is the best lakehouse on the market today.

Data processing, data lake, machine learning, streaming live data...

I don't particularly appreciate how the mlflow menu is hidden from the left bar UI unless I enter a specific link that contains the ID of an experiment.
For instance, I cannot see anything in https://*******.cloud.databricks.com/#mlflow and I cannot see mlflow in the left bar unless I go to :
https://*******.cloud.databricks.com/#mlflow/experiments/3817218/runs/172f6fcb9f144bbc93cc5b3b857c50f1
