Solution Architect at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Our company uses the solution for big data and as an interface for analytics.
We also create custom APIs to get data and provide SQL endpoints so users can access it over traditional tools like JDVC or ODBC.
We use the solution on AWS and Azure. The data lake is wide open for departmental use. We have ten departments and two or three people from each department access the solution.

Business Architect at YASH Technologies
Our company uses the solution for series-based and panel-based migrations. We collect and store user requirements, use apps to fetch data, and provide customers with better data for business reports. There are 30 to 40 users in our company.
View full review »Our company uses the solution's Spark module for big data analytics as a processing engine.
We do not use the module as a streaming engine. The historic perception is that Spark is for batches, machine learning, analytics, and big data processing but not for streaming and that is exactly how we use it.

We were using Databricks to build an AI solution. We are only evaluating it, we have approximately three people that tried it out. Later we choose another solution, we did not fully deploy Databricks.
View full review »Our primary use case for the solution is data analysis by providing a Spark cluster environment with a driver to analyze a huge amount of data and gigabytes of data and can create Notebooks in Databricks. We can write SQL commands, Python code, Scala, or Spark with Python. With Databricks, we get a cluster hosted in the public cloud and we adjust it based on how much we use it.

We are using Databricks for machine learning workloads specifically.
Databricks aligns well with our skillset and overall approach. We sought out their solution specifically for a big data application we are currently working on, as we needed a platform capable of handling large amounts of data and building models. Additionally, the fact that they use open-source software and can integrate data warehouse and data lake systems was particularly appealing, as we have encountered such issues in the past. We determined that Databricks would be an effective solution for our needs.

We ran on multiple clusters set up for a minimum of three and a maximum of nine nodes having 16GB RAM each.
For one ad hoc requirement, a 32-node cluster was required.
Databricks clusters were set for autoscaling and to time out after forty minutes of inactivity. Multiple users attached their notebooks to a cluster. When some workloads required different libraries, a dedicated cluster was spun up for that user.
Databricks is very useful and can handle thousands of different use cases. The use cases are all over the place.

Data Scientist at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
I am a data scientist here and that is my official role. I own the company. Our team is quite small at this point. We have around five people on the team and we are working with about five different businesses. The projects we get from them are massive undertakings. Each of us on the team takes multiple roles in our company and we use multiple tools to help best serve our clients. We are trying to look at creative ways that different solutions can be integrated and we try to understand what products we can use to create solutions for client companies that will be effective in meeting their needs.
We are personally using Databricks for certain projects where we want to consider creating intelligent solutions. I have been working on Databricks as part of my role in this company, trying to see if there are any kind of standard products that we can use with it to create solutions. We know that Databricks integrates with Airflow, so that is something that we are exploring right now as a potential solution for enabling a creative response. We are exploring the cloud as an option. Databricks is available in Azure and we are currently figuring out the viability of using that as a cloud platform. So we are exploring the way Databricks and Azure integrate at the same time to give us this type of flexibility.
What we use it for right now is more like asset management. If we have a lot of assets and we get a lot of real-time data, we certainly want to do some processing on some of this data, but you do not want to have to work on all of it in real-time. That is why we use Databricks. We push the data from Azure through Databricks and work on the data algorithm in Databricks and execute it from Azure with probably an RPA (Robotic Process Automation) or something of that sort. It intelligently offloads real-time processing.
