Hello,
We have been trialing Fabric in the business for a lengthy period but have only recently taken on a Data Engineer and attempted to create a proof of concept for Fabric to replace many of our current reporting solutions.
The trial has been disapointing both in experiencing down time, pipeline failures and huge CU usage when performing fairly standard Spark Notebooks within a custom environment. We have queried and spoken to MindTree several times but between a lack of knowledge on our side, confussing usage and pricing data and a lack of clarity from the documentation, we have not proved to the busienss that Fabric is the solution.
We have been told there is no chance of extanding the Trial and therfore are likley to look at other options. This is not desirebale given that we are a microsoft house so reaching out for anyones suggestions as to how to move forward, has anyone had extensions beyond 60 days or more than 5 user trails? Is anyone from Micrsoft able to help us look at out proof of concept and tell us why it is so inefficient?
