"The setup is pretty simple."
"Can capture all the transactional data throughout a company."
"They are very reliable and cost-effective."

"Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics could improve the section in the solution where you can implement the Python Spark pipelines, it's not the same as in Databricks which would be better."
