Our take
Open source data management tools are not easy to use, and Databricks offers each of these tools on a centralised platform in the form of SaaS. The company mitigates all previous management headaches associated with using these tools.
Databricks is one of the fastest growing cloud enterprise software companies on record. Through smart features like its notebooks and by sitting on top of open-source tools like Azure and AWS, the company is able to maximise the production capabilities and security of these platforms, turning its service into an even better tool.
Databricks next moves include plans to move public. As the company has many institutional investors, including BlackRock, when it sets out for a likely IPO it is going to have a great head start. Further, a recent product release that allows for the interaction of curated data alongside unstructured data places Databricks in a strong position against major competitors like BigQuery and Snowflake.
