Vendr community insights for Databricks

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"We pushed hard to get our discount from 18% to 25%. Databricks has been decreasing discounts over the years and it is hard to move the needle as opposed to legacy discounting. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"Support fees are super high and typically a percent of your overall spend. This can end up costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Be aware and negotiate on those costs. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"Databricks has an easier time giving discounts for specific skus (Jobs Compute, Serverless, etc) as opposed to a cross service discount. If you know how your contract will break down in consumption, push on sku discounts to optimize. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"It's crucial to understand your specific workload requirements. Databricks offers many features and configurations that can be fine-tuned to optimize performance and cost. However, this flexibility also means you need to invest time in configuring your workloads properly. For example, if you run a lot of smaller jobs, AWS Glue might be more cost-effective due to its billing model "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"Databricks often claims significant cost savings compared to other platforms like Snowflake. However, these claims should be taken with caution. Some users have found that while Databricks can be cheaper in certain scenarios, it often requires more effort to achieve those savings. It's advisable to conduct a proof of concept (POC) to compare both platforms under your specific use case "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"While Databricks offers many integrated features, it's essential to consider the potential for vendor lock-in. Using open formats like Delta Lake can help mitigate this risk by ensuring your data remains portable"

"Azure has a 30% discount if purchasing Databricks through their marketplace. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Be sure to check utilization on support fees. We were able to get support fees waived (typically anywhere from 20-30% of the contract) due to purchasing through Azure."
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"As this was a new purchase for the team, we were able to push hard on budget requirements and leveraged Vendr to help us understand which areas of the agreement we could press them on such as support costs and training credits. Ultimately saving our team over $100k on this purchase. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"By signing a 2 year renewal with Databricks, our payment terms were changing from our current Quarterly to Annual. Given our growth we were consistent on pushing back on this and was able to obtain semi-annual payments."
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Year over year our contract continued to grow, we were at a place where we had constant rollover and unoptimized spend. Databricks only incentivizes growth so we were trapped and forced to compromise on our discounts. We worked to get leadership, finance, and engineering teams to stress how their pricing structure perpetuates the problem year over year. We were able to keep some rollover, rightsize our contract, and keep discounting (even though we had to fall a couple points). "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"We had to calculate our usage based off a trailing 12 months because of some bugs we found in our usage. Databricks looks at the trailing 3 months and that was not an accurate picture of consumption. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Databricks communicated that they are moving away from offering quarterly payments and their standard terms are Net 30. They cited that anything outside of this takes multiple levels of approval. We were able to leverage a multi-year term to secure semi-annual net 45 payments on a 36 month term. They do not proactively offer roll-over but with a simple ask and explaining the flexible nature of the growth expectations we were able to get 10% roll-over included in our renewal terms."
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We understood that discount was not based on consumption, but based on the length of term committed. We were able to secure a 3 year deal with the existing SKu discount, AWS cross Service discount at 14% and 32% discount off support. We were also able to swop out our $10k funding to additional Learning elements. Annual payments with net60"
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
