Considered Both Products
Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks is a true all-in-one platform, and at the time of implementation, it had more features available to us, making it a clear choice over Snowflake. Moving our workloads from local computing to the servers in Databricks gave our start-up staff a great quality of life …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Compared to Synapse & Snowflake, Databricks provides a much better development experience, and deeper configuration capabilities.
It works out-of-the-box but still allows you intricate customisation of the environment.
I find Databricks very flexible and resilient at the same …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
The most important differentiating factor for Databricks Lakehouse Platform from these other platforms is support for ACID transactions and the time travel feature. Also, native integration with managed MLflow is a plus. EMR, Cloudera, and Hortonworks are not as optimized when …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks has a much better edge than Synapse in hundred different ways. Databricks has Photon engine, faster available release in cloud and databricks does not run on Open source spark version so better optimization, better performance and better agility and all kind of …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks [Lakehouse Platform (Unified Analytics Platform)] can work with all data types in their original format while Snowflake requires additional structures to fit the data before loading it. Databricks is open source so potential is far greater.
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks provides support for CURD operations by introducing Delta Lake file format.
Cloudera doesn't have support for the same.
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Databricks was picked among other competitors. Closest competition in our organization was H2O.ai and Databricks came out to be more useful for ROI and time to market in our internal research.
We could have used AWS products, however Databricks notebooks and ability to launch …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
When we started using it, only the notebook experience was mature. However, DB was very helpful giving us direct support to get onto their platform. Really there was little in the way to compare to them at the time. AWS has services but not the same low-cost angle.
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
I also use Microsoft Azure Machine Learning in parallel with Databricks. They use different file formats which teach me to be flexible and able to write different programs. They are equally useful to me and I would like to master both platforms for any future usage. I do prefer …
Chose Databricks Data Intelligence Platform
Easier to set up and get started. Less of a learning curve.

if you need to automate reports pulling information directly from your data source Savant is the tool you need, it's very simple, easy to set up and also it's very reliable, we've never had a time where the service is down and that's something worth mentioning because making something easy to use and reliable is not easy.

Cons
  • Connect my local code in Visual code to my Databricks Lakehouse Platform cluster so I can run the code on the cluster. The old databricks-connect approach has many bugs and is hard to set up. The new Databricks Lakehouse Platform extension on Visual Code, doesn't allow the developers to debug their code line by line (only we can run the code).
  • Maybe have a specific Databricks Lakehouse Platform IDE that can be used by Databricks Lakehouse Platform users to develop locally.
  • Visualization in MLFLOW experiment can be enhanced

  • Let the user implement HTML code to the automated emails
  • let you sync again with the data source when a new column is added without the need to re run the bot
  • dark theme.

Usability
Because it is an amazing platform for designing experiments and delivering a deep dive analysis that requires execution of highly complex queries, as well as it allows to share the information and insights across the company with their shared workspaces, while keeping it secured.

in terms of graph generation and interaction it could improve their UI and UX

Because it has made things much easier for us, sometimes the stake holders need the data in a certain way in a certain time and with Savant that's not a problem anymore, in fact we are able to customize a little bit more the emails and not send any if there is nothing to report on which is great.

Support Rating
One of the best customer and technology support that I have ever experienced in my career. You pay for what you get and you get the Rolls Royce. It reminds me of the customer support of SAS in the 2000s when the tools were reaching some limits and their engineer wanted to know more about what we were doing, long before "data science" was even a name. Databricks truly embraces the partnership with their customer and help them on any given challenge.
