We performed a comparison between Databricks and Domo based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I work in the data science field and I found Databricks to be very useful."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its notebook. It's quite convenient to use, both terms of the research and the development and also the final deployment, I can just declare the spark jobs by the load tables. It's quite convenient."
"I like the ability to use workspaces with other colleagues because you can work together even without seeing the other team's job."
"The built-in optimization recommendations halved the speed of queries and allowed us to reach decision points and deliver insights very quickly."
"Databricks is hosted on the cloud. It is very easy to collaborate with other team members who are working on it. It is production-ready code, and scheduling the jobs is easy."
"When we have a huge volume of data that we want to process with speed, velocity, and volume, we go through Databricks."
"We are completely satisfied with the ease of connecting to different sources of data or pocket files in the search"
"The most valuable feature is the Spark cluster which is very fast for heavy loads, big data processing and Pi Spark."
"The dashboarding itself was pretty easy. So both the front and the back end were positive in this case."
"We've worked with all the features of Domo. Among the most important are Pivot and Sumo Cards. We can use drill-down from the top-most level with a click, generating charts."
"The user interface is quite good."
"Using the "cards" which function as preconfigured reports or views. I use many of them simultaneously on an organized page, with filters that allow me to see high-level information as well as subsets across the dataset, in a few clicks. Many Excel-challenged users love to use this product for its simplicity."
"All our client SLAs and daily and weekly dashboards are tracked on Domo."
"We find the ease of using the solution valuable."
"The best thing is that the data storage is pretty much free. I can store as much data as I want, from different sources."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature and allows for customization to create and share reports."
"Databricks has added some alerts and query functionality into their SQL persona, but the whole SQL persona, which is like a role, needs a lot of development. The alerts are not very flexible, and the query interface itself is not as polished as the notebook interface that is used through the data science and machine learning persona. It is clunky at present."
"The query plan is not easy with Databrick's job level. If I want to tune any of the code, it is not easily available in the blogs as well."
"There is room for improvement in visualization."
"The tool should improve its integration with other products."
"It would be very helpful if Databricks could integrate with platforms in addition to Azure."
"Implementation of Databricks is still very code heavy."
"The pricing of Databricks could be cheaper."
"Pricing is one of the things that could be improved."
"I would like to see more flexibility in their pricing structure. The trend is moving from database pricing to a user-license pricing model. That would be a benefit if they wanted to reevaluate their pricing structure."
"It's quite slow. We are using about 2,000,000 rows of data. Creating certain reports takes almost a couple of minutes, which should not be the case."
"They could use more charts. They have had a very limited number of charts we can use. I believe, now, there are somewhere around 30 of them, but they could definitely use some more options."
"It is very difficult too, if we do have specific requests or errors that we can't get figure out - especially when it comes to the development platform, developing custom connectors or doing any kind of API work, custom cards - in that there's a lag in the response time."
"I would like to publish a dashboard for the employees so that they can also see the performance of our organization. But that is not a feature in Domo, although it's something that Zoho provided."
"It is expensive."
"It's too early for me to say that something needs improvement, but there are times when there have been some flexibility issues with Domo... Tableau has a window function which can be integrated into a calculated field. That is missing in Domo so you have to make changes to the data set using ETL or SQL."
"It is expensive."
