We performed a comparison between Actian Ingres and Databricks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"Databricks has helped us have a good presence in data."
"Databricks has improved my organization by allowing us to transform data from sources to a different format and feed that to the analytics, business intelligence, and reporting teams. This tool makes it easy to do those kinds of things."
"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."
"This solution offers a lake house data concept that we have found exciting. We are able to have a large amount of data in a data lake and can manage all relational activities."
"Databricks is a scalable solution. It is the largest advantage of the solution."
"Databricks has a scalable Spark cluster creation process. The creators of Databricks are also the creators of Spark, and they are the industry leaders in terms of performance."
"What I like about Databricks is that it's one of the most popular platforms that give access to folks who are trying not just to do exploratory work on the data but also go ahead and build advanced modeling and machine learning on top of that."
"The simplicity of development is the most valuable feature."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"When I used the support, I had communication problems because of the language barrier with the agent. The accent was difficult to understand."
"There are no direct connectors — they are very limited."
"The stability of the clusters or the instances of Databricks would be better if it was a much more stable environment. We've had issues with crashes."
"The connectivity with various BI tools could be improved, specifically the performance and real time integration."
"I would love an integration in my desktop IDE. For now, I have to code on their webpage."
"Databricks is not geared towards the end-user, but rather it is for data engineers or data scientists."
"Instead of relying on a massive instance, the solution should offer micro partition levels. They're working on it, however, they need to implement it to help the solution run more effectively."
"Support for Microsoft technology and the compatibility with the .NET framework is somewhat missing."
