Microsoft Fabric vs. Databricks vs. Snowflake: Choosing the Right Data Platform
Hi dhanojbo
Choosing the right platform depends on what your requirements are. This is the Fabric community, so clearly there will be a bias towards Fabric here.
SOme of the questions I would ask are:
What does reporting look like for you, what tools are in use/planned? If you're using Power BI, Fabric is a natural choice as Fabric and Power BI are the same platform.
The skills of your data team also comes into account. Do you have a team that is comfortable with writing SQL and Python? Or do you need some no/low code tools to ingest and transform data? Fabric has both.
The last thing to consider is cost and licensing. Is your org already a Microsoft customer? Do you have enterprise licensing? If you already have E5 licensning, that would give everyone in your org power bi pro at no additional charge.
