Its a gery good and efficient product
What do you like best about the product?
Databricks data intelligence platform is very unique and interesting product, it is very efficient and makes running programs so much faster and easier. Over the cost-efficient price and the uses of this platform bring so appealing is what made me choose this product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Someone I disliked about Databricks Data Intelligence Platform is it is a big slow at times when multiple users are using it which could be worked on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Data Silos and Fragmentation
• Problem: Data spread across multiple systems (e.g., data warehouses, data lakes, databases) creates silos and delays insights.
• Databricks Solution: A unified data platform that supports both data lakes and data warehouses (aka Lakehouse Architecture), allowing for a single source of truth.
2. Slow and Complex Data Processing
• Problem: Legacy tools struggle with big data, streaming, or real-time analytics.
• Databricks Solution: Leverages Apache Spark for scalable and high-performance processing of batch and streaming data.

Databricks with Unity Catalog
What do you like best about the product?
Centralized management of data assets across environments through the Unity Catalog
What do you dislike about the product?
Single megastore per region and having very few metastore admins across the enterprise can make enterprise adoption challenging without having access to Databricks premium support
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralizing data assets under a single umbrella. Ingest data once and share using delta share instead of doing data copies which enables data to be consistent across the enterprise. Good lineage
Databricks has unlocked ML and AI for our data
What do you like best about the product?
ease of model hosting / serving and our availing to always have the latest and greatest with foundation models
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not very intuitive as a platform — lots of different permissions and compute is confusing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, any ML or AI was siloed off. Now we benefit from it all being in one place which makes orchestration much easier
Data lake for the enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
You like Databricks for its ability to streamline data engineering, data analysis, and machine learning workflows in one unified platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
You dislike the Databricks platform for its potential complexity and the costs associated with scaling and managing large data workloads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Databricks Data Intelligence Platform solves problems related to data silos, complex data integration, and real-time analytics, benefiting you by enhancing collaboration across teams, accelerating data processing, and enabling more informed decision-making.
Unity Catalog streamlines efficiency, despite Compute mode limitations
What do you like best about the product?
The Unity Catalog bundles useful data types together like Tables (delta), Models, Views, Functions and Volumes (for unstructured data). Additionally, the Workflows tab streamlines efficiency to run jobs and pipelines updating and engaging with big data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst functionality comes with the compute modes, and the restricted abilities. For example, Dedicated single-user access mode is essential to utilize ML runtimes and some Spark context access; however, Standard shared access mode is key for the latest UC functionality such as engaging with Shallow Clones properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems with managing big data and streamlining execution time while also managing permissions and governance are all problems that are efficiently solved using Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and Unity Catalog.
