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
Hot and cold
What do you like best about the product?
Get the data you need right at your finger tips
What do you dislike about the product?
Data can be hard to pull (weite code in SQL) versus other platforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Insights to be pulled from our app
Create pulls for selling stories
Benefits: lots of cuts of data

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.
Very fast to run queries
What do you like best about the product?
Databricks is a great tool to integrate queries from MySQL, Redshift, Python, and Adobe Clickstream data and the queries run pretty fast too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes some coding knowledge to set up and a good Data Engineering team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to pull reports in one place.
Not optimized for algorithms but a great warehousing tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to automatically load data from aws into databricks for collection, and analysis. It does a great job of customizing the notebooks and nodes that can be created.
What do you dislike about the product?
This tool is not optimized for R users. They were supposed to have an update Q1 for R studio but their help team informed me that this was no longer a priority. Even so, heavy AI and machine learning algorithms are not optimized for use here besides the usual theano and keras on python. Its also difficult to run analyses on a large volume of data without sampling which defeats the purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
data warehousing, sampling, simple models
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have simple needs and not looking to run unsupervised AI on this then it will work for you. I, however, need to create sophisticated models and cannot do so without constantly running into issues left and right.
One of the best scalability solutions out there.
What do you like best about the product?
It is no surprise that Spark is one of the fastest growing technologies today and databricks provides a platform that makes transitioning to Spark easier. I like how there are also tutorials for people who are just beginning to learn make the onboarding to Spark easier. Love the connection with Github so there is the ease of sharing the projects with the world. Love the ease of pipeline creation in whatever language that one is comfortable in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could give a bigger size of the cluster for individuals and students so that they can explore it to a bigger extent. Also, technical support is not good enough. I also do not like there is no way you can collaborate on a project. Visualization could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are scaling our marketing solutions using this platform. Would love even more tutorials. Should have video tutorials as well.
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.
