Integrates diverse data sources and streamlines ETL processes effectively
Regarding potential areas of improvement for Azure Data Factory, there is a need for better data transformation, especially since many people are now depending on DataBricks more for connectivity and data integration. Azure Data Factory should consider how to enhance integration or filtering for more transformations, such as integrating with Spark clusters. I am satisfied with Azure Data Factory so far, but I suggest integrating some AI functionality to analyze data during the transition itself, providing insights such as null records, common records, and duplicates without running a separate pipeline or job. The monitoring tools in Azure Data Factory are helpful for optimizing data pipelines; while the current feature is adequate, they can improve by creating a live dashboard to see the online process, including how much percentage has been completed, which will be very helpful for people who are monitoring the pipeline.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is robust."
"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."
"I think it makes it very easy to understand what data flow is and so on. You can leverage the user interface to do the different data flows, and it's great. I like it a lot."
"When it comes to our business requirements, this solution has worked well for us. However, we have not stretched it to the limit."
"It is very modular. It works well. We've used Data Factory and then made calls to libraries outside of Data Factory to do things that it wasn't optimized to do, and it worked really well. It is obviously proprietary in regards to Microsoft created it, but it is pretty easy and direct to bring in outside capabilities into Data Factory."
"Most of our customers are Microsoft shops and prefer Azure Data Factory because they have good licensing options and a trust factor with Microsoft."
"The solution has a good interface and the integration with GitHub is very useful."
"The most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are the flexibility, ability to move data at scale, and the integrations with different Azure components."
"Data Factory's best feature is the ease of setting up pipelines for data and cloud integrations."
"Feature-wise, one of the most valuable ones is the data flows introduced recently in the solution."
 

Cons

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."
"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."
"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."
"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."
"You cannot use a custom data delimiter, which means that you have problems receiving data in certain formats."
"The support and the documentation can be improved."
"The need to work more on developing out-of-the-box connectors for other products like Oracle, AWS, and others."
"It can improve from the perspective of active logging. It can provide active logging information."
"This solution is currently only useful for basic data movement and file extractions, which we would like to see developed to handle more complex data transformations."
"There are performance issues, particularly with the underlying compute, which should be configurable."
"There aren't many third-party extensions or plugins available in the solution."
"Sometimes, the compute fails to process data if there is a heavy load suddenly, and it doesn't scale up automatically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."
"API Gateway is priced on the number of transactions you run through it. API Gateway is free, and you can install as many API Gateways as you like or are necessary for your network. For example, if all of the data is inside your network or firewall, you may just need one API Gateway. If you have external customers trying to come into your organization through your firewall, you're going to need one API Gateway outside the firewall and one inside the firewall. If you have a lot of remote offices, you may want to put API Gateway in some of those offices as well. They only charge you for your usage of it. In other words, the number of transactions going through it. That's a good benefit."
"The product is not expensive."
"Data Factory is affordable."
"Product is priced at the market standard."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"Azure products generally offer competitive pricing, suitable for diverse budget considerations."
"I am aware of the pricing of Azure Data Factory, but I prefer not to disclose specific details."
"I would not say that this product is overly expensive."
"The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."
"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
