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.

Seamless automation for workflows, customizable and UI friendly
I would rate the stability a seven out of ten because other tools in the market have extra capabilities that BizFlow doesn't have yet. They have some built-in capabilities and AI features, and everyone is thinking about how to implement AI in their area. I haven't seen any updates from BizFlow on this, but they might plan to implement it soon. However, we don't have this capability right now. This could be one reason why people might move from BizFlow to another tool. For example, with Nintex, we can integrate Google Cloud and achieve some functionality from Google Cloud as well. IBM also introduced some free tests in their DPM services with AI. These are good things in the market right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the UI rework, it's much easier."
"The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"Airflow integrates well with Cloudera and effectively supports complex operations."
"For low to middle scaled tasks, Apache Airflow could be a substitute for Control-M."
"Apache Airflow is useful for workflow automation, making it capable of automating pipelines, data pipelines, and data warehouse processes."
"The core features are strong, which are supported by Apache Airflow variables, DAGs, and connections."
"I worked on a project at a leading German bank for two years, successfully migrating large applications with hundreds of jobs."
"Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"Working with BizFlow (the company) has been an equal pleasure."
"Overall, BizFlow has provided seamless integration of Human-Centric and Integration-Centric BPM capabilities to enable efficient use of Personnel resources while automating data-driven activities via web service interactions."
"There are so many advantages. First things, like we have a seamless automation capability available here in BizFlow. Totally customizable, UI we can create, and the third-party integration is also achievable. Not with the in-built functionality, but with custom code and all, we can achieve that thing also."
 

Cons

"The dashboards could be enhanced."
"I want to see Apache Airflow have more integrations with more production-based databases since it is an area where the product lacks currently."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process and providing access to its support team to guide integration."
"Programmatically, it's very good, and it doesn't have any competitors, but you cannot develop anything in Airflow UI. You need to develop everything within the program. In the market, other tools have come up recently as competitors to Airflow, and they also give graphical programming options, whereas Airflow doesn't provide that feature currently. All the DAGs you want to build need to be coded in Python."
"Running frequent jobs, such as every minute or five minutes, is not appropriate for Airflow. It is not suitable for real-time ETL tasks."
"I suggest BizFlow create look up functionality to add and cache reusable form data (e.g., static drop down data) as it is required in almost every software application."
"Nintex provided an in-built functionality. Like integration-related things, so many service types are available. You just have to configure it. So, such kinds of things decrease the timing of development. So, it is missing in Bizflow."
"I suggest BizFlow continue to invest in JDK 64 bit and Siteminder integration for single sign on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apache Airflow is a free solution that can be downloaded and ready for use at any moment."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"We use a community edition of Apache Airflow. It is open source and free."
"Apache Airflow is open-source and free. Hyperscalers like Google (with Composer), Azure, and AWS offer managed Airflow services."
"Apache Airflow is a product that is free of licenses, meaning there is no need to buy a license."
"The solution is cheap."
"Apache Airflow is a cheap solution."
"I use the tool's open-source version."
"Pricing is a main concern for any organization, but some big organizations may find it affordable. For example, in Indian currency, it would be around 1,000 per license for a BizFlow license."
