Best all-in-one Data Platform environment
What do you like best about the product?
By providing a fully-managed, highly performant and customizable Spark environment along with regular top-tier productivity features, Databricks is undeniably the most complete Data Platform in the market. My favorites features would be :
* Unity Catalog that provides colum-level lineage and a centralized access right management service
* Delta Live Table that provides easy to implement Data Quality control and monitoring
* Extensive CLIs that gives freedom in chosing your CI/CD platform
* Clusters policies that allows a better cost control

What do you dislike about the product?
The offline development can be improved. The recently release of a VsCode Extension and also Spark connect are steps towards this but still needs more features to be satisfying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Databricks helps us develop and deploy Data Products and train Machine Learning models more successfully in production, in very short amount of time, a secured environment and with controlled costs management.
Its compatibility with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform also allows us to easily reproduce our standards accross multiple instances.
The integration with Azure Active Directory also eases the adoption and Access Control of resources and data assets.

Databricks Review
What do you like best about the product?
Best for Analytics, we also got started off first using Fivetran and it was the easiest destination for us to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting setup wasnt the easiest thing to do, also the UI feels a little old.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our use case is a little different, first we needed a destination when we were using Fivetran for connectors so we needed a place to put data in from the connectors we had setup using Fivetran and Databricks was the best solution for that.
We were also building analytics solutions and so Databricks also capture that well for us as well.

One stop solution for Multi-cloud architecture
What do you like best about the product?
It is the best datalake even when compared to the offerings by AWS, GCP or Azure due to its proprietary delta lake technology
What do you dislike about the product?
No offering for developers to debug their code line by line
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It served as a data warehouse for all our unstructured data with super fast retrieval
A great platform to realize business value through DE, ML and analytics"
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is easy to use and collaborate with my colleagues. Deploying to production is simple and can be even easier if you choose the non-self-hosted option. Although Databricks does some of the heavy lifting, it's still open enough to allow teams to use their own flexibility and complex processes without too much configuration. "
What do you dislike about the product?
Platforms constantly change as they adapt, so staying on top of everything can be difficult. - If you don't have a CICD system in place, once you hit a certain number it starts to get difficult to manage.

- MLFLOW experiment and Model registry, where all trained models can be tracked and registered in one place
What do you dislike about the product?
Connect my local code in Visual code to my Databricks cluster so I can run the code on the cluster. The old databricks-connect approach has many bugs and is hard to set up. The new Databricks extension on Visual Code, doesn't allow the developers to debug their code line by line (only we can run the code).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dealing with big data and being able to train different models that address many problems in my business. In addition to its computational capabilities, using Databricks allowed us to do all development in one platform.

Databrick Lakehouse Review
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best analytical databases currently available in the market and can handle all formats of data ranging from structured, semi-structured, to unstructured.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like some of the documentation. Some of the features are not being maintained properly and some of the features that are mainly needed never get added. However, I don't think this is an issue with Databricks but rather an issue on MLFLow.
