Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."Databricks' Lakehouse architecture has been most useful for us. The data governance has been absolutely efficient in between other kinds of solutions."
"The solution is an impressive tool for data migration and integration."
"The solution is built from Spark and has integration with MLflow, which is important for our use case."
"Databricks is a unified solution that we can use for streaming. It is supporting open source languages, which are cloud-agnostic. When I do database coding if any other tool has a similar language pack to Excel or SQL, I can use the same knowledge, limiting the need to learn new things. It supports a lot of Python libraries where I can use some very easily."
"Ability to work collaboratively without having to worry about the infrastructure."
"Databricks' most valuable feature is the data transformation through PySpark."
"The load distribution capabilities are good, and you can perform data processing tasks very quickly."
"It's great technology."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE, for me, would be the Web Catalog. From a development perspective, I do not need any client or any software to be installed on my laptop or desktop. Everything is browser-based, so I just open the browser and start development."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run it in Exalytics within memory coupled to a Repository on Exadata is where it flies. So it's not meant for mom and pop shops, but if you are a global 500 fortune 1000 company, this is a tool that can get you what you need on time and even in real time."
"Some of the dashboard capabilities are good. The dashboard capabilities that tell you what kind of reports are available and provide you a summary of the reports are valuable. It is easy to navigate and easy to download reports into Excel to utilize them."
"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly. When I retrieve the data from the database it is in a very raw form, then when I use the Oracle Report Builder it has advanced intelligence features to allow me to view and make changes to the data easily."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"The product needs samples and templates to help invite users to see results and understand what the product can do."
"Some of the error messages that we receive are too vague, saying things like "unknown exception", and these should be improved to make it easier for developers to debug problems."
"Doesn't provide a lot of credits or trial options."
"I would like more integration with SQL for using data in different workspaces."
"CI/CD needs additional leverage and support."
"Databricks is not geared towards the end-user, but rather it is for data engineers or data scientists."
"There is room for improvement in visualization."
"The product should provide more advanced features in future releases."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it."
"It is not a good product for data visualization."
"I find I prefer Oracle OAC over OBIEE. It's more advanced, has artificial intelligence, and there's more that we can do with it in general. OBIEE is lacking features."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
