Well said. It is a sad state of affairs. For those of us who can, push back against IT procurement and show leadership the value (and likely cost reduction) when using tools outside the norm. And yes, the Azure Marketplace has several great solutions for data processing.

Not only is Databricks a deplorable company when it comes to HR, but their product is terrible. I really don't get what it's all about. Much rather spin up my choice of a python notebook, have my own underlying data storage, etc. I really don't understand how they got so big so quickly? Was it all hype? VCs helping close deals?
