Light, inexpensive way to ingest data
I primarily use Data Factory to ingest data. For example, if we need to pull data into our data warehouse from somewhere like Azure Event Hub or salesforce.com We have telemetry that streams into an Azure Event Hub, and Data Factory allowed us to move that data from the Event Hub into our data…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data Factory's best features include its data source connections, GUI for building data pipelines, and target loading within Azure."
"The data copy template is a valuable feature."
"It is beneficial that the solution is written with Spark as the back end."
"The solution has a good interface and the integration with GitHub is very useful."
"UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages."
"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."
"It is easy to integrate."
"One advantage of Azure Data Factory is that it's fast, unlike SSIS and other on-premise tools. It's also very convenient because it has multiple connectors. The availability of native connectors allows you to connect to several resources to analyze data streams."
"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
 

Cons

"The Microsoft documentation is too complicated."
"Azure Data Factory should be cheaper to move data to a data center abroad for calamities in case of disasters."
"Data Factory's cost is too high."
"It's a good idea to take a Microsoft course. Because they are really helpful when you start from your journey with Data Factory."
"There is no built-in pipeline exit activity when encountering an error."
"There is no built-in function for automatically adding notifications concerning the progress or outline of a pipeline run."
"Data Factory's monitorability could be better."
"There's space for improvement in the development process of the data pipelines."
"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"The solution might be generic."
"The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."

"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
"The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."
"In terms of licensing costs, we pay somewhere around S14,000 USD per month. There are some additional costs. For example, we would have to subscribe to some additional computing and for elasticity, but they are minimal."
"The cost is based on the amount of data sets that we are ingesting."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
"The cost is a few hundred dollars per user per year."
"I would describe TIBCO Spotfire as an averagely-priced product."
