Room For Improvement

Azure Data Factory needs better setup, connectivity, documentation, support, performance, and UI for enhanced functionality and user experience.
Talend Open Studio faces compatibility and feature limitations, needs better support, performance, and SaaS capabilities, with high memory concerns.
The ability to handle the largest volumes of data is another concern; if I have to manage more than one terabyte of data every day, I am not comfortable dealing with Azure Data Factory and had to switch to Oracle Data Integrators (ODI) because it lacks performance features.
Senior Consultant Oracle Technologies at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.
Test Engineer at Happiest Minds Technologies
Incorporating more dedicated API sources to specific services like HubSpot CRM or Salesforce would be beneficial.
Chief Analytics Officer at Idiro Analytics
If we could have round-the-clock support, we would be able to resolve many issues which we encounter during the development part.
Program Manager at InfoCepts
 

Setup Cost

Azure Data Factory's pricing is competitive but complex, requiring careful monitoring to manage costs for high data usage.
Talend Open Studio is free; paid versions offer more features but may be costly with robust infrastructure requirements.
The pricing is cost-effective.
Chief Analytics Officer at Idiro Analytics
It is considered cost-effective.
Sr. Technical Architect at Hexaware Technologies Limited

The platform excels in handling major datasets, particularly when working with Power BI for reporting purposes.

Regarding the integration feature in Azure Data Factory, the integration part is excellent; we have major source connectors, so we can integrate the data from different data sources and also perform basic transformation while transforming, which is a great feature in Azure Data Factory.
Director at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
It also comes with a console which helps us to monitor the jobs we have built in, making that monitoring part easy.

Kunal Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Test Engineer at Happiest Minds Technologies
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.

Has supported building flexible data pipelines and streamlined ETL orchestration
There should be a dedicated support team for Talend Open Studio. We do have a support team, but at times it is critical for us to fix certain things within one or two hours. Usually, the support team takes some 12 hours, which is the standard edition of support. If we could have round-the-clock support, we would be able to resolve many issues which we encounter during the development part. The initial setup for Talend Open Studio is a little complex. We need to have a dedicated person who has an understanding of Talend Open Studio as a tool. It takes some level of expertise, so it is not an easy process, but once we have a dedicated associate who is knowledgeable in that particular field, it becomes comparatively easier.
