About Company

Company Description

Updated 3rd August 2026

Databricks is a data and AI company built on the open lakehouse architecture. The Databricks Data and AI Platform gives data engineering, analytics, machine learning, and AI teams a single place to work, governed by a unified security and data layer called Unity Catalog. The platform is built on open source foundations, Apache Spark, Delta Lake, and MLflow among them, which means organizations avoid vendor lock-in and can run on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Customers use Databricks to find and treat diseases and cancer earlier, identify new approaches to combating climate change, detect financial fraud in real time, accelerate pharmaceutical development, reduce time to mental health intervention, and address local financial inequality. The platform is designed for organizations that want a single foundation for both their data warehouse and their AI workloads, rather than stitching together separate tools for each.

    Scalable and Collaborative Data Platform with Strong Governance Needs in Enterprise Enviroments

    5.0
    Feb 11, 2026
    Overall, our experience with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform has been strong , particularly for large scale data engineering , analytics, and machine learning workloads in a cloud environment. The platform provides a unified workspace that enables collaboration between data engineers, developers, analysts, and testing teams. From a development and quality engineering perspective , it has helped streamline data pipeline development and improve scalability . That said the platform requires disciplined governance and structured adoption. Its flexibility is powerful , but without proper standards around data validation, CI/CD and environment management, complexity can increase as usage grows. When implemented with clear guidelines , it significantly improves productivity and cross team collaboration.

Dislike

It was hard to get started with it, training for non-technical and business users was scattered and there are still features being built (like Lakeflow Designer) for us.
