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

"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"Apache Airflow is easy to scale and its UI improves with each release."
"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."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The core features are strong, which are supported by Apache Airflow variables, DAGs, and connections."
"It helped us to manage the complex workflows and orchestration of tasks efficiently."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
 

Cons

"There are some drawbacks to this solution. The code does not cover all tasks in the data warehouse automation process."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"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 dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"I would like to see workflow integration across the servers."
"The in-built package dependencies in Python have some issues in Apache Airflow, making it an area that needs improvement."
"I have some issues with the solution's communication."
"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source tool. There are no additional fees or charges associated with the product."
"It's open source. You can install it locally on your own system. If you are deploying it in the production system, you normally deploy it on some cloud, such as EC2 service, which would have some cost. If you are setting up a Docker container or something for Apache Airflow yourself, which is quite easy, you can do pretty much everything online."
"For the time being, it doesn't cost anything."
"The solution is cheap."
"Apache Airflow is a free solution that can be downloaded and ready for use at any moment."
"The cost is quite affordable."
"It is an open-source solution."
"We are using the open-source version of Apache Airflow."
