Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."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."
"A very valuable feature is the data processing, and the solution is specifically good at using the Spark ecosystem."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The solution's features are fantastic and include interactive clusters that perform at top speed when compared to other solutions."
"The time travel feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The solution is easy to use and has a quick start-up time due to being on the cloud."
"The solution offers a free community version."
"It's very simple to use Databricks Apache Spark."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
"Doesn't provide a lot of credits or trial options."
"The product could be improved by offering an expansion of their visualization capabilities, which currently assists in development in their notebook environment."
"There could be more support for automated machine learning in the database. I would like to see more ways to do analysis so that the reporting is more understandable."
"The tool should improve its integration with other products."
"It's not easy to use, and they need a better UI."
"This solution only supports queries in SQL and Python, which is a bit limiting."
"I would love an integration in my desktop IDE. For now, I have to code on their webpage."
"The solution could be improved by adding a feature that would make it more user-friendly for our team. The feature is simple, but it would be useful. Currently, our team is more familiar with the language R, but Databricks requires the use of Jupyter Notebooks which primarily supports Python. We have tried using RStudio, but it is not a fully integrated solution. To fully utilize Databricks, we have to use the Jupyter interface. One feature that would make it easier for our team to adopt the Jupyter interface would be the ability to select a specific variable or line of code and execute it within a cell. This feature is available in other Jupyter Notebooks outside of Databricks and in our own IDE, but it is not currently available within Databricks. If this feature were added, it would make the transition to using Databricks much smoother for our team."
"It is not a very scalable product."
