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

"The most valuable feature of Azure Data Factory is the core features that help you through the whole Azure pipeline or value chain."
"The most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are the flexibility, ability to move data at scale, and the integrations with different Azure components."
"We haven't had any issues connecting it to other products."
"The user interface is very good. It makes me feel very comfortable when I am using the tool."
"The data mapping and the ability to systematically derive data are nice features. It worked really well for the solution we had. It is visual, and it did the transformation as we wanted."
"We have been using drivers to connect to various data sets and consume data."
"The most valuable features are data transformations."
"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"Some of the optimization techniques are not scalable."
"One area for improvement is documentation. At present, there isn't enough documentation on how to use Azure Data Factory in certain conditions. It would be good to have documentation on the various use cases."
"When working with AWS, we have noticed that the difference between ADF and AWS is that AWS is more customer-focused. They're more responsive compared to any other company. ADF is not as good as AWS, but it should be. If AWS is ten out of ten, ADF is around eight out of ten. I think AWS is easier to understand from the GUI perspective compared to ADF."
"I have not found any real shortcomings within the product."
"I would like to be informed about the changes ahead of time, so we are aware of what's coming."
"The pricing scheme is very complex and difficult to understand."
"The deployment should be easier."
"Data Factory's monitorability could be better."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."
"While I can't specify the actual cost, I believe it is reasonably priced and comparable to similar products."
"The solution's fees are based on a pay-per-minute use plus the amount of data required to process."
"It's not particularly expensive."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The cost is based on the amount of data sets that we are ingesting."
"Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle."
"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."
