Mohit Manna - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Engineer III (Contract) at Expedia Group
Orchestration has streamlined complex data pipelines and supports rapid table onboarding
Sometimes I feel that the scheduler in Apache Airflow does not work properly, with tasks not getting triggered. Additionally, the UI may be a bit more responsive. Logging and debugging can be enhanced. Not all tasks support XComs, and the Spark job which runs is not able to push XCom into the task. I have to run another task in order to see the output of the previous task. Currently, Apache Airflow that I am using for my client requires me to put my password itself, which is my account password. It could be integrated with Okta or something, because they already have Okta for other things, and two-factor authentication can be implemented in the login. From a governance perspective, it is adequate. There are different controls such as admin user. From the authentication point of view, it could be improved.
Satya Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Human Resource Executive at MetLife
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

"It helped us to manage the complex workflows and orchestration of tasks efficiently."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"Apache Airflow is easy to scale and its UI improves with each release."
"For low to middle scaled tasks, Apache Airflow could be a substitute for Control-M."
"We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"Airflow integrates well with Cloudera and effectively supports complex operations."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"Working with BizFlow (the company) has been an equal pleasure."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The automation capabilities could be improved; a visual workflow designer and a graphical tool to reduce coding would be very helpful. But for now, it's sufficient for our simple workflows."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process and providing access to its support team to guide integration."
"I would like to see workflow integration across the servers."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"Apache Airflow could be improved by integrating some versioning principles."
"Sometimes I feel that the scheduler in Apache Airflow does not work properly, with tasks not getting triggered."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"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."
"I suggest BizFlow continue to invest in JDK 64 bit and Siteminder integration for single sign on."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the time being, it doesn't cost anything."
"The solution is cheap."
"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."
"I use the tool's open-source version."
"Apache Airflow is a cheap solution."
"The solution is free if you use Amazon AWS."
"Apache Airflow is a cheap solution."
"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."
