Well-documented with plenty of resources available online but improvement needed in automation capabilities

Pros

"We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed. "

Cons

"The automation capabilities could be improved; a visual workflow designer and a graphical tool to reduce coding would be very helpful. But for now, it's sufficient for our simple workflows."

An open-source solution that has limitations in processing too many jobs

Pros

" I worked on a project at a leading German bank for two years, successfully migrating large applications with hundreds of jobs. "

Cons

"Apache Airflow improved workflow efficiency, but we had to find solutions for large workflows. For instance, a monthly workflow with 1200 jobs had to be split into three to four pieces as it struggled with large job numbers. Loading a workflow with 500 jobs could take 10 minutes, which wasn't acceptable. "
