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

"Apache Airflow is a stable and flexible platform."
"One of its most valuable features is the graphical user interface, providing a visual representation of the pipeline status, successes, failures, and informative developer messages."
"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."
"I love this solution."
"This is a good product and I definitely recommend it."
"I definitely recommend Apache Airflow and would rate it nine out of ten."
"For low to middle scaled tasks, Apache Airflow could be a substitute for Control-M."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"We contact their customer support often. They are very good and reliable."
 

Cons

"The in-built package dependencies in Python have some issues in Apache Airflow, making it an area that needs improvement."
"Apache Airflow improved workflow efficiency, but we had to find solutions for large workflows. For instance, a monthly workflow with 1200 jobs had to be split into three to four pieces as it struggled with large job numbers. Loading a workflow with 500 jobs could take 10 minutes, which wasn't acceptable."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"Apache Airflow could be improved by integrating some versioning principles."
"One area for improvement would be to address specific functionalities removed in recent updates that were previously useful for our operations."
"We are not satisfied with technical support. We rely on using Google to identify solutions for the problems we have."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"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 free solution that can be downloaded and ready for use at any moment."
"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."
"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 pricing for the product is reasonable."
"For the time being, it doesn't cost anything."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"We use a community edition of Apache Airflow. It is open source and free."
"It is an open-source solution."
