"The connectivity with various BI tools could be improved, specifically the performance and real time integration."
"It should have more compatible and more advanced visualization and machine learning libraries."

"The integration and query capabilities can be improved."
"The interface of Databricks could be easier to use when compared to other solutions. It is not easy for non-data scientists. The user interface is important before we had to write code manually and as solutions move to "No code AI" it is critical that the interface is very good."
"The data visualization for this solution could be improved. They have started to roll out a data visualization tool inside Databricks but it is in the early stages. It's not comparable to a solution like Power BI, Luca, or Tableau."
"In the next release, I would like to see more optimization features."
"The user interface should be easier to use and navigate."
"This product could be improved with Cloud Integrations and Predictive Analytics functions integration."

"The self-service area, or dashboard, needs some improvement. While the reporting itself is great, the dashboard and Analytics Cloud are not user friendly."
