Databricks unifies majority of engineering platforms.
What do you like best about the product?
There are various reasons why I like the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
We have been using Databricks as a Unified Platform for All of our Data Workloads (pipelines and models) that encompasses data engineering, data science, analytics and agentic AI.
We love the lakehouse architecture that assists in onboarding traditional data warehousing specialists to Databricks in a fast and scalable way.
We did Unity Catalog upgrade last year that streamlined governance and access control across assets; and did Serverless compute this year that decreased cluster starting/waiting time tremendously.
We have been playing around with Agentic AI space now where we build easy to understand prompts to train agents built on top of datasets. This helps in profiling/slicing/analyzing data by anyone (even a non-technical business person).
BI team has been using Databricks to connect with our Power BI dashboards while Engineering team has been using Databricks to connect with Airflow to create/visualize native DAGs.
Last but not the least, Databricks Notebook concept is awesome.
In the same Databricks notebook, one can have code in multiple languages (Python, Scala, SQL etc.) and each can be flipped at runtime.
Built-in collaborative notebooks with support for multiple languages (Python, Scala, SQL, R) and real-time co-authoring make it easier for teams to iterate together quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
-- Unpredictable costs for small teams. We faced it when one of our agents AI workflow was running for a long time on a very small dataset.
-- Compute + storage based costing means optimization is critical. Every QTR, we have to really keep our Databricks forecasts updated as we don’t want a big deviation between forecast vs. actual.
-- While Databricks supports dashboards (with limitations), it can’t replace BI tools like Power BI, Tableau etc.

Business teams are also using Power BI dashboards (revenue, corporate accounting, HR, treasury and commerce) fed from Databricks data now.

Make your Data solid BRICK with Databricks
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the best about Databricks data intelligence platforms is the uninterrupted integration of data engineering, data science and AI workflows on an single platform, which improves cooperation, robustness and performance for large data and ML projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lowest useful aspect of Databricks data intelligence platform is its complication for new users and steep learning state, especially for those without a strong background in spark or distributed computing. Additionally, it can be expensive on a scale, and debugging large workflows can sometimes be challenging due to limited transparency in error tracing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Databricks solves the problem of silent data and fragmented devices by providing integrated environment for intelligence platform data engineering, analytics and machine learning. It enables rapid data processing, real -time cooperation, and streamlined workflows, eventually improves decision making and intensifies innovation in teams.
