Databricks Lakehouse Platform vs Trifacta

Likelihood to Recommend

Databricks has helped my teams write PySpark and Spark SQL jobs and test them out before formally integrating them in Spark jobs. Through Databricks we can create parquet and JSON output files. Datamodelers and scientists who are not very good with coding can get good insight into the data using the notebooks that can be developed by the engineers.

The data wrangling process is what makes this a powerful tool for trending and data discovery. Using the data mining process, Trifecta allows you to cleanse the data and have cleaner visualization.

Cons

Better Localized Testing
When they were primarily OSS Spark; it was easier to test/manage releases versus the newer DB Runtime. Wish there was more configuration in Runtime less pick a version.
Graphing Support went non-existent; when it was one of their compelling general engine.

Usability

Databricks Lakehouse Platform 9.0

This has been very useful in my organization for shared notebooks, integrated data pipeline automation and data sources integrations. Integration with AWS is seamless. Non tech users can easily learn how to use Databricks. You can have your company LDAP connect to it for login based access controls to some extent

Alternatives Considered

I also use Microsoft Azure Machine Learning in parallel with Databricks. They use different file formats which teach me to be flexible and able to write different programs. They are equally useful to me and I would like to master both platforms for any future usage. I do prefer Databricks because it could be free if I decided to go with the Databricks Community Edition only.

Our IT group presented Trifacta to me. They picked it out and among the crowd for me. This was way beyond ETL tools, SQL, or any programming language. It's just much faster and because it's sitting on Hadoop you bypass some of the slowdowns typically faced with RDBMS.

Trifacta is not cheap. Replacing expensive programmers is a plus, though.
The ability to get at desired data quickly can be a differentiator for your organization, as tools like Trifacta are not yet mainstream, but they will be.
