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.

A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users

The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."

"Azure Data Factory became more user-friendly when data-flows were introduced."

"This solution has provided us with an easier, and more efficient way to carry out data migration tasks."

"The most valuable features are data transformations."

"The feature I found most helpful in Azure Data Factory is the pipeline feature, including being able to connect to different sources. Azure Data Factory also has built-in security, which is another valuable feature."

"Azure Data Factory is a low code, no code platform, which is helpful."

"The stability of the Azure Data Factory is very good."

More Azure Data Factory pros

"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."

"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things; TIBCO is very good for cloud integration."

"The initial setup was straightforward and because we often work with one of the most interesting companies in integration in Italy, what the program offers is absolutely outstanding."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

Cons

"From my perspective, the pricing seems like it could be more user-friendly."

"The pricing model should be more transparent and available online."

"If the user interface was more user friendly and there was better error feedback, it would be helpful."

"They should work on optimizing their licensing model and pricing structure."

"Occasionally, there are problems within Microsoft itself that impacts the Data Factory and causes it to fail."

"Data Factory could be improved in terms of data transformations by adding more metadata extractions."

"The product could provide more ways to import and export data."

"Additionally, 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."

More Azure Data Factory cons

"It is an extremely powerful solution, but it is very expensive, even though it only offers adequate functionality."

"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."

"The deployment was rather complicated."

"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model for Azure Data Factory is good because you won't have to overpay. Pricing-wise, the solution is a five out of ten. It was not expensive, and it was not cheap."

"It's not particularly expensive."

"It seems very low initially, but as the data grows, the solution’s bills grow exponentially."

"For our use case, it is not expensive. We take into the picture everything: resources, learning curve, and maintenance."

"There's no licensing for Azure Data Factory, they have a consumption payment model. How often you are running the service and how long that service takes to run. The price can be approximately $500 to $1,000 per month but depends on the scaling."

"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."

"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 Data Factory gives better value for the price than other solutions such as Informatica."
