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 cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Most of our customers are Microsoft shops and prefer Azure Data Factory because they have good licensing options and a trust factor with Microsoft."
"This solution will allow the organisation to improve its existing data offerings over time by adding predictive analytics, data sharing via APIs and other enhancements readily."
"The valuable feature of Azure Data Factory is its integration capability, as it goes well with other components of Microsoft Azure."
"I find the most valuable feature in Azure Data Factory to be its ability to handle large datasets."
"My only advice is that Azure Data Factory, particularly for data ingestion, is a good choice."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"An excellent tool for pipeline orchestration."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"The stability of Azure as a PaaS could be improved."
"There are limitations when processing more than one GD file."
"It can improve from the perspective of active logging. It can provide active logging information."
"There are performance issues, particularly with the underlying compute, which should be configurable."
"There is one particular problem with Azure Data Factory. When you have a parent-to-child relationship and the child has one more relationship, creating a hierarchy situation, there are issues."
"When you raise an issue, sometimes the people who are available are unfamiliar with that particular technology, so they have to route the issue to the concerned person."
"On the UI side, they could make it a little more intuitive in terms of how to add the radius components. Somebody who has been working with tools like Informatica or DataStage gets very used to how the UI looks and feels."
"I did not see any positive impact from Azure Data Factory overall."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is based on usage and is not cheap."
"The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."
"I would rate Data Factory's pricing nine out of ten."
"My company is on a monthly subscription for Azure Data Factory, but it's more of a pay-as-you-go model where your monthly invoice depends on how many resources you use. On a scale of one to five, pricing for Azure Data Factory is a four. It's just the usage fees my company pays monthly."
"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
