We performed a comparison between Databricks and Domino Data Science Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."I like that Databricks is a unified platform that lets you do streaming and batch processing in the same place. You can do analytics, too. They have added something called Databricks SQL Analytics, allowing users to connect to the data lake to perform analytics. Databricks also will enable you to share your data securely. It integrates with your reporting system as well."
"One of the features provides nice interactive clusters, or compute instances that you don't really need to manage often."
"The solution is an impressive tool for data migration and integration."
"Databricks is a scalable solution. It is the largest advantage of the solution."
"Databricks gives you the flexibility of using several programming languages independently or in combination to build models."
"There are good features for turning off clusters."
"The ability to stream data and the windowing feature are valuable."
"The load distribution capabilities are good, and you can perform data processing tasks very quickly."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"There would also be benefits if more options were available for workers, or the clusters of the two points."
"We'd like a more visual dashboard for analysis It needs better UI."
"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."
"It should have more compatible and more advanced visualization and machine learning libraries."
"The solution has some scalability and integration limitations when consolidating legacy systems."
"It would be very helpful if Databricks could integrate with platforms in addition to Azure."
"The solution could be improved by integrating it with data packets. Right now, the load tables provide a function, like team collaboration. Still, it's unclear as to if there's a function to create different branches and/or more branches. Our team had used data packets before, however, I feel it's difficult to integrate the current with the previous data packets."
"There should be better integration with other platforms."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
