Governance And Engagement Lead
Improved data governance has enabled sensitive data tracking but cost management still needs work
I believe we could improve Databricks integration with cloud service providers. The impact of our current integration has not been particularly good, and it's becoming very expensive for us. The inefficiencies in our implementation, such as not shutting down warehouses when they're not in use or reserving the right number of credits, have led to increased costs. We made several beginner mistakes, such as not taking advantage of incremental loading and running overly complicated queries all the time. We should be using ETL tools to help us instead of doing it directly in Databricks. We need more experienced professionals to manage Databricks effectively, as it's not as forgiving as other platforms such as Snowflake. I think introducing customer repositories would facilitate easier implementation with Databricks.

I use TIBCO Statistica for quality control, creating profile control charts, and employing basic statistical tools in production. Some clients prefer advanced options like neural networks and decision trees for more in-depth analysis. TIBCO Statistica helps us meet a range of statistical needs for…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Easy to use and requires minimal coding and customizations."
"The features of Databricks have impacted my organization positively, as it has done so very efficiently since we switched from several platforms to using this one."
"If you have a lot of data, Databricks is a good choice."
"I like the simplicity and ease of use."
"Databricks is a scalable solution. It is the largest advantage of the solution."
"The ability to stream data and the windowing feature are valuable."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The most valuable feature is the Spark cluster which is very fast for heavy loads, big data processing and Pi Spark."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"Databricks would have more collaborative features than it has. It should have some more customization for the jobs."
"One area of improvement is the Databricks File System (DBFS), where command-line challenges arise when accessing files. Standardization of file paths on the system could help, as engineers sometimes struggle."
"The connectivity with various BI tools could be improved, specifically the performance and real time integration."
"The solution is expensive. It's not like a lot of competitors, which are open-source."
"I would like to see more documentation in terms of how an end-user could use it, and users like me can easily try it and implement use cases."
"I would like it if Databricks adopted an interface more like R Studio. When I create a data frame or a table, R Studio provides a preview of the data. In R Studio, I can see that it created a table with so many columns or rows. Then I can click on it and open a preview of that data."
"The pricing of Databricks could be cheaper."
"CI/CD needs additional leverage and support."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing on site I would counsel against, as on-site hardware issues tend to really delay and slow down delivery."
"Databricks are not costly when compared with other solutions' prices."
"There are different versions."
"We're charged on what the data throughput is and also what the compute time is."
"The basic version of this solution is now open-source, so there are no license costs involved. However, there is a charge for any advanced functionality and this can be quite expensive."
"I would rate Databricks' pricing seven out of ten."
"I'm not involved in the financing, but I can say that the solution seemed reasonably priced compared to the competitors. Similar products are usually in the same price range. With five being affordable and one being expensive, I would rate Databricks a four out of five."
"I am based in South Africa, where it is expensive adapting to the cloud, and then there is the price for the tool itself."
