Considered Both Products	Databricks Austin Franchino Senior Data and Security Engineer in Engineering at Lumos Data (Financial Services, 11-50 employees) 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 … Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Chose Snowflake I evaluated Redshift and Panoply when making the choice for Snowflake. Panoply is built on Redshift, so the two are equal in drawbacks: Redshift requires a cluster to be running 24/7 for your data to live there. We produce terabytes of data every day, so this was not an option … Incentivized Helpful?
