DataBricks is a great analytics tool which provides lightening speed analytics and has given new abilities to Data Scientists. Additionally, our advanced analytics at scale has gone up 100 times.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is steep and people would need coding knowledge to work with Databricks. It can also be costly at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems - Analytics problems
Benefits - Scale and Speed

What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation inside the portal isn't the best, find better support outside with search engines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently data transformation as it provides easy access to databases or blobs and the ability to use a language such as python to build up the solution you need is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool for developing when looking for a fast result as it uses distributed programming by the usage of different clusters.

2. Sometimes having issues with interpreter settings while running the notebook.
2. Sometimes having issues with interpreter settings while running the notebook.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Big data - Analyzing large datasets.
Makes building Spark applications a lot easier
What do you like best about the product?
It's like a Jupyter notebook but a lot more powerful and flexible. You can easily switch from Python to SQL to Scala from one cell to the next. With the Spark framework, you can preview your data processing tasks without having to build large intermediate tables.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need better support when it comes to troubleshooting spark applications. It shows a lot of information, but gives you little sense of how to apply it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do a lot of large scale data processing applications. Previously we used databases, but this is more flexible and powerful (and cheap).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great if you already understand Spark. Otherwise, Spark has quite a learning curve.
Its the Databricks show!
What do you like best about the product?
It has significantly improves its performance with the Databricks Inout and Ouput Module. WIth better support for spark, it combines well with Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS. It has faster execution and faster read write processes in its version 5.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few schema related queries are still on the slower side considering huge data clusters and the processing involved for those clusters.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It runs on the clusters of machines managed by Databricks which gives us the assurance to manage data in a distributed manner. It includes Spark and adds a number of components and updates to performa big data analytics and data processing. It's parallel processing in RDD's is amazing.
An easy way to quickly and efficiently analyze data
What do you like best about the product?
I love how accurate and quick databricks is. Once I started working with databricks, I couldn’t fathom doing data analyzation and comparisons without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software is not the cheapest on the market and that detracts funds that could go elsewhere throughout the hospital. However, databricks continues to be a great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple forms of data analysis along with demographics and data comparison implementations.
Easy to get started with big data
What do you like best about the product?
Helpful online resources. Easy to get started
What do you dislike about the product?
Not enough documentation. Not enough examples
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Predictive modeling. Easy to spin up models
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good idea
Ease of Implementation
What do you like best about the product?
Overall, since we brought in DataBricks, our ability to use DataScience and advacned analytics at scale has gone up 100 times. Our experience has been awesome, and I know we're not even pushing the bounds of what it can do
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall Databricks has worked well, though it has taken longer than we anticipated to get it up and running.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Frees up data scientists to do data science instead of fighting with cluster management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Provides support and solution that is not available in open source version. Good communication
Make Big Data Feel Small
What do you like best about the product?
The system architects data delivery in a very easy to use and intuitive way. Non-data-savvy individuals are able to access the insights that data can provide and the support around the product is 2nd to none!
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost is always a concern when working with a system like this, but if the organization can afford it the insights and ease of use are worth it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Similar to salesforce, we are able to sync are data from disperate systems and visualize in a single space
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to ask an individual their experience with the product and how they used it. The work to implement and create connections is often the most complicated part, not the analysis of the data itself.
Great Product for Analytics Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Databricks is my company's one stop shop for interacting with our expansive datasets. Databricks has been great so far for navigating our complex storage systems, accessing data, and being able to analyze it without having to switch programs. One of the best features of Databricks is that you can use a variety of languages within the program to complete all steps needed to fully use the data. I like being able to switch seamlessly between python, spark, and sql to work on big data sets.
Additionally, the formatting of the workbook is awesome. You can create new spaces below your original data view in order to perform the analysis.

What do you dislike about the product?
When using Databricks on a cloud-based server it is sometimes difficult to search through the folders and tables to find exactly what you need. I think it would be beneficial if they created an S3 browser to speed up this process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Databricks is helping our analytics group to sift through our mountains of data in order to create new and innovative products that paint a picture of client's customers (and beyond). Personally, I think this program saves a lot of time than having to work on data in silos based on the language you are working with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When looking for a new program to access and query your data, look no further. Databricks is better than any SQL server I've used and allows you to utilize python, scala, and spark without having to waste any time changing workbooks.
