User Testimonials
	Azure Databricks	OpenAI API
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenAI Evolving own Business.
