Market Chatter: Microsoft Defends Data Visualization Product by Blocking Databricks Feature

MT Newswires Live05-22 21:50

Microsoft (MSFT) blocked a new feature created by Databricks, a longtime partner, that makes it easier for its customers to connect information on its platform to Microsoft's Power BI, which provides companies with data visualizations of their operations, The Information reported Friday, citing two Databricks salespeople and consultants who work with customers.

Microsoft blocked the feature weeks after Databricks began testing it in early March, which caused the reports that customers had built with it to immediately stop working, the salespeople and consultants reportedly said.

The new feature made it easier for Power BI customers to manage their data and build AI agents in Databricks than through a competing data management offering from Microsoft, called Fabric, the report said, citing the salespeople.

Microsoft did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
