Business processes are automated efficiently with a well-designed interface
There is room for improvement in integrations and customizations for AgilePoint and other low-code, no-code solutions. Additionally, the marketing of such products should be more honest. They often claim to solve all process automation needs, but they only handle problems of certain complexity. AgilePoint cannot handle highly complex processes like ERPs.

Open workflows have simplified data ingestion and curation but still need better UI and scheduler resilience
I think there could be improvements or enhancements in Apache Airflow in terms of having a better UI experience. The UX can be done a bit better. The web interface of Apache Airflow has helped me in tracking and troubleshooting since I'm operational and part of the operational side of Apache Airflow. Mostly, I go into the logs of the web server and scheduler to check what's happening in the back-end instead of looking at the front-end. The UI can give errors related to pipelines, but it can be more improved if we get errors related to import errors and scheduling errors. These areas can be improved. Other than a better UI experience, I would want to see improvements in the scheduler. Sometimes, for user-made mistakes, the scheduler goes down. I experienced this issue and I'm not sure whether it got fixed right now or not. If a user is building a data pipeline in Apache Airflow and a user makes a mistake in their code, that makes the scheduler go down and eventually Apache Airflow goes down. That is not what is expected. If that gets fixed, then it can do wonders.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Anytime companies need any solution with workflow, they can base it on AgilePoint, because AgilePoint allows companies to design and implement workflows very fast using the system's interface."
"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"I would rate Apache Airflow from one to ten points overall as ten points, which means it is a very good solution."
"Airflow integrates well with Cloudera and effectively supports complex operations."
"The solution is flexible for all programming languages for all frameworks."
"The best feature is the customization that can be done using Python."
"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"The user experience of Apache Airflow is good."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"The features and capabilities of Apache Airflow that I have found the most valuable and useful so far include its rich integration with many technologies."
 

Cons

"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"Technical support is very slow to respond and they need to be quicker in getting back to clients when problems arise."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."
"I have some issues with the solution's communication."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process and providing access to its support team to guide integration."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"The restarting part or rerunning specific tasks in Apache Airflow is somewhat confusing for users because it does not directly say restart or replay."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"We have faced scenarios where Apache Airflow becomes non-responsive, leading to job failures. To resolve such situations, we had to manually reboot Apache Airflow since it doesn't provide an option to restart within the application. This necessitated modifying some configurations to initiate a restart of all Apache Airflow components. Although Apache Airflow is generally dependable, it may occasionally encounter glitches that can disrupt production flows and batches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"It is an open-source tool. There are no additional fees or charges associated with the product."
"Although Airflow is open source software, there's also commercial support for it by Astronomer. We personally don't use the commercial support, but it's always an option if you don't mind the extra cost."
"The solution is cheap."
"It's open-source."
"We use a community edition of Apache Airflow. It is open source and free."
"Apache Airflow is a free solution that can be downloaded and ready for use at any moment."
"The solution is free if you use Amazon AWS."
"I use the tool's open-source version."
