Both Qubole and Databricks are solving the same problem – enabling analytics and machine learning on data lakes. Moreover, if you are here because you are evaluating Qubole vs. Databricks or looking for Databricks alternatives, you are at the right place. There are many who love us more than Databricks due to choice and openness, we bring to the table.

So what is the difference between Qubole and Databricks?

“The biggest difference is our approach. Qubole is built on the foundation of openness and flexibility of choice. This manifests in the form of the choice of cloud, hardware, data processing engines, and tools. For example, while we love Apache Spark (and Qubole runs some of the largest Apache Spark clusters in the world), we also incorporate other data processing engines for workload variety and efficiency. More than 75% of our customers use Qubole for multiple workloads ranging from ETL, Streaming Analytics, and Machine Learning.”

In the Words of Your Peers

“Because we let Qubole manage the scaling of our clusters, we also have the ability to specify using spot instances, rather than just everything on demand, and we can tune that. That saves a lot of money.” -Nathan McIntyre, Data Engineer, Ibotta
“The savings from Qubole makes our data engineering team much more productive. Our data engineering team moved away from doing routine maintenance and management work to focusing on serving our customers’ needs and road safety.” -Lei Pan, Director of Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure, Nauto
“We are looking to increase our investment in machine learning-based products multifold, and due to our early partnership with Qubole, we have the data and infrastructure ready to enable that.” -Barkha Saxena, VP Data Science and Analytics, Poshmark
“We were able to scale up quite a lot on Qubole. The reason why is we are able to use Spot instances a lot more with Qubole than with other platforms.” -Dan Peterson, VP of Systems Engineering, Neustar
