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.

The software is incredibly easy to use and can integrate with any platform (CRM, ERP, HRIS, etc.)
The best features of this product are the following: * Point and Click interface, which requires zero coding and anyone can build workflows and processes without any difficulty. * Seamless customization of the instance so you can customize it to your business needs without the need for developers. * Analytics, which provides 360 views of your business processes in real time (crucial for business decisions) and mobile capabilities so users can execute, track and approve processes on the go no matter where you are (the application is web-based). * Another huge and important feature is security. Process Director holds strong security features within groups and partitions to prevent users from viewing certain data (especially internal and external) and allows administrators to build unique security settings.

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 in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"Airflow integrates well with Cloudera and effectively supports complex operations."
"I worked on a project at a leading German bank for two years, successfully migrating large applications with hundreds of jobs."
"The solution is quite configurable so it is easy to code within a configuration kind of environment."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"Rapid adoption by user community to automate and facilitate existing processes as well as creation of new processes."
"The software is incredibly easy to use and can integrate with any platform (CRM, ERP, HRIS, etc.)."
 

Cons

"I am using a Celery Executor and I find that it crashes and I can't see any logs."
"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."
"We are not satisfied with technical support. We rely on using Google to identify solutions for the problems we have."
"Sometimes I feel that the scheduler in Apache Airflow does not work properly, with tasks not getting triggered."
"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."
"The stability and reliability of Apache Airflow cannot be praised as a great reliable application, but for small-scale solutions and small-scale use cases, we can always rely on Apache Airflow."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"We're currently using version 1.10, but I understand that there's a lot of improvements in version 2. In the earlier version that we're using, we sometimes have problems with maintenance complexity. Actually using Airflow is okay, but maintaining it has been difficult."
"At times the documentation is somewhat unclear or missing, but the support is very helpful in resolving any questions."
"The one area of improvement would be marketing of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is open source so is free."
"Apache Airflow is open-source and free of charge."
"The cost is quite affordable."
"We are using the open-source version of Apache Airflow."
"I use the tool's open-source version."
"The pricing for the product is reasonable."
"Apache Airflow is a cheap solution."
"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."
