Azure Databricks vs. Azure OpenAI Service

Having access to all databases and tables in one place is what has helped me and my team to function better. The in built functionality/access to SQL and Python is definitely an added bonus! The icing on the cake is the ability to export your data into an Excel spreadsheet for additional analysis. If you have less to no working knowledge of SQL or Python, its better to look at alternatives.

The pricing doesn't seem fair to me if we compare the limitations and errors in the models. Also, they are currently working on new unified portal for all AI projects which is in beta preview. So, I guess we should wait until it matures, and fixes all the issues and should use once pricing and performance improves.

• Consistently great performance when dealing with huge scale data with the help of spark architecture
• Magic commands such as spark sql, pyspark, scala . This comes really handy in day to day work
• Integration with other Azure services is super smooth and robust

• It's generative AI like ChatGPT but you get advanced models, so it's more powerful.
• You can use API to automate the process of Generative AI tasks.
• It also provides a sample script code on how we can use the API.

Incentivized

• Intuitive interface
• Ease of use
• Providing FAQ or QRGs

• The user interface is similar to the Azure, so it's bit laggy, they should improve it.
• The chat models sometimes return nothing, I guess they are still testing them.
• The models we use have quota limitation on tokens and number of requests.

Overall, Azure OpenAI services are not worth using, but only reason I used it because I got it under Startup sponsorship from Microsoft. Pricing is very high.

Incentivized

• Helped reduce time for collecting data
• Reduced cost in maintaining multiple data sources
• Access for multiple users and management of users/data in a single platform

Incentivized

• Honestly, I just started using it a few months ago, and I haven't seen any major benefits.
• It has almost similar capabilities as free version of ChatGPT, so it's worth paying for chat models unless we need to use API.
• ROI has not been impacted at all, as I mostly use free version over this to avoid higher charges.
