Capability to integrate diverse coding languages in a single notebook greatly enhances workflow
Databricks offers various courses that I can use, whether it's PySpark, Scala, or R. I can leverage all these courses in a single notebook, which is beneficial for clients as they can access various tools in one place whenever needed. This is quite significant. I usually work with PySpark based on client requirements. After coding, I feed the Databricks notebooks into the ADF pipeline for updates. Databricks' capability to process data in parallel enhances data processing speed. Furthermore, I can connect our Databricks notebook directly with Power BI and other visualization tools like Qlik. Once we develop code, it allows us to transform raw data into visualizations for clients using analysis diagrams, which is very helpful.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Databricks is the integration with Microsoft Azure."
"The capacity of use of the different types of coding is valuable. Databricks also has good performance because it is running in spark extra storage, meaning the performance and the capacity use different kinds of codes."
"Databricks is based on a Spark cluster and it is fast. Performance-wise, it is great."
"Databricks is a scalable solution. It is the largest advantage of the solution."
"The load distribution capabilities are good, and you can perform data processing tasks very quickly."
"The Delta Lake data type has been the most useful part of this solution. Delta Lake is an opensource data type and it was implemented and invented by Databricks."
"I like cloud scalability and data access for any type of user."
"Databricks' most valuable feature is the data transformation through PySpark."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
 

Cons

"I would like more integration with SQL for using data in different workspaces."
"There should be better integration with other platforms."
"The biggest problem associated with the product is that it is quite pricey."
"In the next release, I would like to see more optimization features."
"Databricks would have more collaborative features than it has. It should have some more customization for the jobs."
"Databricks can improve by making the documentation better."
"Support for Microsoft technology and the compatibility with the .NET framework is somewhat missing."
"I have had some issues with some of the Spark clusters running on Databricks, where the Spark runtime and clusters go up and down, which is an area for improvement."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay. It's competitive."
"We're charged on what the data throughput is and also what the compute time is."
"I rate the price of Databricks as eight out of ten."
"Licensing on site I would counsel against, as on-site hardware issues tend to really delay and slow down delivery."
"The solution is based on a licensing model."
"The licensing costs of Databricks is a tiered licensing regime, so it is flexible."
"The solution uses a pay-per-use model with an annual subscription fee or package. Typically this solution is used on a cloud platform, such as Azure or AWS, but more people are choosing Azure because the price is more reasonable."
"The pricing depends on the usage itself."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
