User Testimonials
	Azure Databricks	Picterra
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft 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.

Pros	Microsoft Data Processing and Transformations based on Spark Delta Lakehouse when clubbed with an external cloud storage Governance using Unity Catalog to unify IAM Delta Live Tables is a product, which although relatively newer, has a great potential with the visuals of a pipeline.

Usability	Microsoft The developers are able to switch between Python and SQL in the Notebook which allows the collaboration of SQL analyst and Data scientist. The integration of Mosaic AI allows users to write complex codes in natural languages. Unity catalog has centralized the security and governance features and simplified the process of maintaining it Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Picterra No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft 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.

On a framework level, it has had an amazing impact and has reduced the clients overall data platform costs by a staggering 65% There has been a 40% Manual work requirement on average for the clients when they move to Azure Databricks Data Platform Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Picterra No answers on this topic
