There are many ETL tools , but nothing comes near Databricks. We can have n number of complex transformations that can be done in datbricks notebooks using pyspark and Unity catalog is the best feature.

Costing is more, but if you have proper policies in place as organization and have control over cluster usage then can easily overcome high cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is one issue I really hope they can fix. The widgets panel settings of notebooks default to "Run Accessed Commands," which I find really inconvenient. I strongly suggest they change it to "Do Nothing." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
