Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The most valuable feature of Dremio is it can sit on top of any other data storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Data Factory, SGFS, or Hive. The memory competition is good. If you are running any kind of materialized view, you'd be running in memory."
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function."
"Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization."
"Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it."
"We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue."
"Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported."
"They have an automated tool for building SQL queries, so you don't need to know SQL. That interface works, but it could be more efficient in terms of the SQL generated from those things. It's going through some growing pains. There is so much value in tools like these for people with no SQL experience. Over time, Dermio will make these capabilities more accessible to users who aren't database people."
"Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
"The tool needs to simplify its features."
"The product must be more transparent."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"The product is expensive."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
