Drag-and-drop pipelines have saved days of work and now automate data movement and backfilling
If the AI features were more improved so that I don't have to provide each and every detail, Azure Data Factory could be improved in a much better way by improving the AI features. For example, if I want to fetch any data from a raw source, I need to provide each and every detail. But if I am just uploading my raw data and if AI will sync with that data, it can analyze that data and give me proper suggestions on how that should be done in a proper way. Automatic suggestions could improve in a much better way. As I have mentioned, the AI features as well as more drag-and-drop activities could be improved. If I am making a pipeline, it should give me suggestions, such as which activity should be used, so that I don't have to remember each activity. If I have used one activity, I shouldn't have to remember what activity should I use next. It should give auto-suggestions. That is why I have given a nine out of 10. Currently, I don't know about its governance and security, but in view of its improvement, I think Azure Data Factory should improve in these areas. As I already mentioned, the AI features should be improved. Also, the auto-suggestion features should also improve.

Easy drag-and-drop interface and supports custom Python functions, but the performance needs to be better
The memory processing needs to be improved because when you deal with a large amount of data, the interface tends to hang a little bit. When the system boots up, it can take between two and five minutes, depending on the system memory (RAM). If the system is low on memory then it takes a long time to start up. If you are not familiar with Python then this product will be a little more difficult for you. It can take a long time to migrate from one version to the next because there are a lot of processes to deal with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data Factory lets us consolidate those steps into a single pipeline."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it allows more data between on-premises and cloud solutions."
"It makes it easy to collect data from different sources."
"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"One advantage of Azure Data Factory is that it's fast, unlike SSIS and other on-premise tools. It's also very convenient because it has multiple connectors. The availability of native connectors allows you to connect to several resources to analyze data streams."
"Data Factory's most valuable feature is Copy Activity."
"Azure Data Factory is a very easy to use ETL tool for loading and transforming data from one location to another."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"This solution allows you to include your own functions that are coded in Python."
"The drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy for business users."
 

Cons

"DataStage is easier to learn than Data Factory because it's more visual. Data Factory has some drag-and-drop options, but it's not as intuitive as DataStage. It would be better if they added more drag-and-drop features. You can start using DataStage without knowing the code. You don't need to learn how the code works before using the solution."
"The performance could be better. It would be better if Azure Data Factory could handle a higher load. I have heard that it can get overloaded, and it can't handle it."
"The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes."
"There is a need for better data transformation, especially since many people are now depending on DataBricks more for connectivity and data integration."
"Data Factory's cost is too high."
"Azure Data Factory can improve the transformation features. You have to do a lot of transformation activities. This is something that is just not fully covered. Additionally, the integration could improve for other tools, such as Azure Data Catalog."
"They should work on optimizing their licensing model and pricing structure."
"Azure Data Factory didn't bring a lot of good when we were also using Alteryx."
"The memory processing needs to be improved because when you deal with a large amount of data, the interface tends to hang a little bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It seems very low initially, but as the data grows, the solution’s bills grow exponentially."
"The solution's fees are based on a pay-per-minute use plus the amount of data required to process."
"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."
"Azure products generally offer competitive pricing, suitable for diverse budget considerations."
"The price is fair."
"In terms of licensing costs, we pay somewhere around S14,000 USD per month. There are some additional costs. For example, we would have to subscribe to some additional computing and for elasticity, but they are minimal."
"For our use case, it is not expensive. We take into the picture everything: resources, learning curve, and maintenance."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."
"The open-source version is free to use, although it has a limitation of two-million records."
