Azure Databricks vs. Gavagai

Centralised notebooks are out directly into production. This can lead to poorly engineered code. It is very good for fast queries and our data team are always able to provide what we ask for. It is a big cost to our business so it is important it runs efficiently and returns on our investment.

Gavagai is well suited for a B2C business that receives a lot of customer feedback in a form of open-ended text. It makes life easier for the customer experience team to efficiently identify the strengths and areas of improvement for the business. It saves a lot of time and also the hassle of analysing text data manually. It is not just a word cloud tool that shows you the words with the most number of mentions. Gavagai directs you towards actionability.

I have found Azure Databricks to be much better than Snowflake for handling bigger, diverse data types. Snowflake is much simpler and better for smaller warehousing. The real time processing is much better in Azure Databricks and we have much more language options. Snowflake is more expensive but simpler to use. Both are great for different needs.

I didn't evaluate many options while choosing Gavagai, I had explored a few local vendors whose capabilities were either incomplete or were not up to the mark. Their customer support was also quite poor. Also, the tool was debugged enough which led to frequent crashing. Alchmer although is not a direct competitor to Gavagai, since it's more of a customer feedback tool with additional capabilities of text analytics. I found Alchemer to be extremely expensive. Zonka on the other hand was quite welcoming to feedback from me and promised to develop additional capabilities for my specific requirements although the plan didn't go through due to internal reasons.
