Room For Improvement

Azure Data Factory needs improved integration, better scheduling, enhanced UI, simplified pricing, more connectors, and responsive support.
Clients seek enhanced error analysis, integration, and user experience in Oracle Integration Cloud Service, addressing cost and functionality issues.
There is a problem with the integration with third-party solutions, particularly with SAP.
When using Git services, there are challenges with linked services and triggers getting overridden when moving between different environments (Dev, UAT, Prod).
Sometimes, the compute fails to process data if there is a heavy load suddenly, and it doesn't scale up automatically.
Setup and deployment can be done in OCI, the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, allowing for role-based access and configuration, managing access levels for Oracle Integration Cloud Service environments such as Dev, Test, and Production.
Most large customers use multiple clouds, and Oracle's partnership with Azure and other hyperscalers needs additional development on the Integration Cloud Service side.
The mapping is a bit complex, so configuration is not very easy for a new user.

Facilitates seamless data pipeline creation with good analytics and and thorough monitoring
Azure Data Factory is a low code, no code platform, which is helpful. It provides many prebuilt functionalities that assist in building data pipelines. Also, it facilitates easy transformation with all required functionalities for analytics. Furthermore, it connects to different sources out-of-the-box, making integration much easier. The monitoring is very thorough, though a more readable version would be appreciable.
