Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Confluent and others in Streaming Analytics."The solution is easy to use and has a quick start-up time due to being on the cloud."
"It's easy to increase performance as required."
"Databricks gives you the flexibility of using several programming languages independently or in combination to build models."
"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."
"When we have a huge volume of data that we want to process with speed, velocity, and volume, we go through Databricks."
"One of the features provides nice interactive clusters, or compute instances that you don't really need to manage often."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to use SQL directly with Databricks."
"The performance and price is good."
"Databricks is not geared towards the end-user, but rather it is for data engineers or data scientists."
"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."
"Costs can quickly add up if you don't plan for it."
"I would like it if Databricks made it easier to set up a project."
"Can be improved by including drag-and-drop features."
"The ability to customize our own pipelines would enhance the product, similar to what's possible using ML files in Microsoft Azure DevOps."
"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 has a lack of debuggers, and it would be good to see more components."
"Improvement can be made by implementing a clear sales point that guides users in making choices, especially for virtualization purposes."
