Python (especially Python 3) and R are much more robust in Databricks
The full suite of libraries for both environments can be used and notebooks can switch between Python 2 and 3
Install Python/R libraries as we need them, enabling us to use and prototype new libraries without requesting external support
Ability to push internal code base to the notebook clusters allows for customization and less code reproduction for common tasks
Engineers have the ability to use the latest and greatest technology with little cost for prototyping
Analysts can use the tools they are most familiar with and deliver insights at rapid speed across large scale data sources
