"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Automation with Databricks is very easy when using the API."
"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."
"The ability to stream data and the windowing feature are valuable."
"I work in the data science field and I found Databricks to be very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Databricks is the integration with Microsoft Azure."

"If I want to create a Databricks account, I need to have a prior cloud account such as an AWS account or an Azure account. Only then can I create a Databricks account on the cloud. However, if they can make it so that I can still try Databricks even if I don't have a cloud account on AWS and Azure, it would be great. That is, it would be nice if it were possible to create a pseudo account and be provided with a free trial. It is very essential to creating a workforce on Databricks. For example, students or corporate staff can then explore and learn Databricks."
"Databricks would benefit from enhanced metrics and tighter integration with Azure's diagnostics."
"Databricks' performance when serving the data to an analytics tool isn't as good as Snowflake's."
"The product needs samples and templates to help invite users to see results and understand what the product can do."
"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better."
"Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience."
"The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."
"The solution could run faster."
