Our data warehouse was growing at a 1TB/year rate, and we needed a solution that would be both cheap and effective.
Previously we were using Azure SQL Database with its JSON capabilities and various Azure serverless services to manage our data, but at that growth rate, time and cost were becoming limiting factors.

Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics (formally Azure SQL Data Warehouse) is being used as our marketing data warehouse. We are pulling data down from a number of different API's such as Facebook ads, Google ads and Google analytics, and then pumping that information back into the Azure Synapse Analytics Warehouse on a daily basis.

As a consulting company, we implement data warehouse solutions for our clients. We use Azure Synapse for enterprises data warehouse implementations. Data from various internal sources like sales, finance and operations are integrated into Synapse via Azure Data Factory and Data Lake. It’s used as reporting data source for Microsoft Power BI as well.

We've been using Azure Synapse Analytics to create data pipelines for onPrem/onCloud ETL processing where the transform data will store inside the Azure Data Lake for further processing using PowerBI.

I am an independent developer using Azure Synapse for other companies. My company is machinery production oriented (i.e. automotive companies) so I'm used to [utilizing] the Synapse for statistics-driven quality control, some logistics stuff, etc.

Azure Synapse Analytics is being used for data Warehousing - Azure Data Factory to pull in the initial data from source to Data Lake, then Spark notebook to process from raw (bronze) to staging (silver) in Synapse dedicated pools, then stored procedures in Synapse dedicated pool to process from staging to reporting (gold).

We use Azure Synapse Analytics (Azure SQL Data Warehouse) to hold all our daily sales data to serve reports. Without any storage constraint, we save large datasets and process them in a matter of time, thanks to the Azure lake storage support and Massive Parallel processing capabilities. It supports major file formats like Avro, Parquet and many more.

SQL Data Warehouse is being used to hold all of our summary level reporting. The data is loaded using SSIS and transformed into a star schema. SQL does a great job mapping all of the OLAP values and providing efficient structures to house all of the reporting data. We then use a reporting tool to build cubes and publish the data

We use it to store large amounts of SQL data for our predictive analytics and big data modeling. We use it across several team but I cannot say it is used for the entire organization as my department operates relatively independently of the rest of the organization. We have an extremely large data sets and need to store it in a way that makes it accessible and fast.
