Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."I work in the data science field and I found Databricks to be very useful."
"Can cut across the entire ecosystem of open source technology to give an extra level of getting the transformatory process of the data."
"I like how easy it is to share your notebook with others. You can give people permission to read or edit. I think that's a great feature. You can also pull in code from GitHub pretty easily. I didn't use it that often, but I think that's a cool feature."
"The time travel feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The fast data loading process and data storage capabilities are great."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective."
"The tool helps to catch results and review them."
"The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing."
"The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts."
"The initial setup is difficult."
"Databricks would have more collaborative features than it has. It should have some more customization for the jobs."
"Databricks has added some alerts and query functionality into their SQL persona, but the whole SQL persona, which is like a role, needs a lot of development. The alerts are not very flexible, and the query interface itself is not as polished as the notebook interface that is used through the data science and machine learning persona. It is clunky at present."
"The stability of the clusters or the instances of Databricks would be better if it was a much more stable environment. We've had issues with crashes."
"There is room for improvement in the documentation of processes and how it works."
"There could be more support for automated machine learning in the database. I would like to see more ways to do analysis so that the reporting is more understandable."
"Databricks could improve in some of its functionality."
"The product needs samples and templates to help invite users to see results and understand what the product can do."
"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better."
"The solution could run faster."
"The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."
"Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience."
