Administrator at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
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.

Has reliable technical support and good stability
From my experience using Bosch, I would recommend it to somebody considering it. I would rate it an eight out of ten. There are better solutions on the market. To make it a perfect ten, they should improve the price. There is a learning curve and sometimes there are issues from the software.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The core features are strong, which are supported by Apache Airflow variables, DAGs, and connections."
"The user experience of Apache Airflow is good."
"The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"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."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"I found the following features very useful: DAG - Workload management and orchestration of tasks using."
"Apache Airflow can be integrated or used to run multiple files."
"We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"We contact their customer support often. They are very good and reliable."
 

Cons

"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"There is a minor issue with the manual work in Airflow, as everyday activities are managed manually. There is no dashboard for us to check all the Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs); a dashboard would help us analyze the work better."
"There is an area for improvement in onboarding new people. They should make it simple for newcomers. Else, we have to put a senior engineer to operate it."
"The restarting part or rerunning specific tasks in Apache Airflow is somewhat confusing for users because it does not directly say restart or replay."
"It is not suitable for real-time ETL tasks."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"I am using a Celery Executor and I find that it crashes and I can't see any logs."
"There are better solutions on the market. To make it a perfect ten, they should improve the price. There is a learning curve and sometimes there are issues from the software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The cost is quite affordable."
"It's open-source."
"Apache Airflow is open-source and free. Hyperscalers like Google (with Composer), Azure, and AWS offer managed Airflow services."
"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."
"It is an open-source tool. There are no additional fees or charges associated with the product."
"Apache Airflow is a cheap solution."
