We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively.""Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Pros →

"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines.""When it comes to our business requirements, this solution has worked well for us. However, we have not stretched it to the limit.""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.""The solution has a good interface and the integration with GitHub is very useful.""Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive.""On the tool itself, we've never experienced any bugs or glitches. There haven't been crashes. Stability has been good.""The trigger scheduling options are decently robust.""Feature-wise, one of the most valuable ones is the data flows introduced recently in the solution."

Cons
"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies.""An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Cons →

"You cannot use a custom data delimiter, which means that you have problems receiving data in certain formats.""I would like to see this time travel feature in Snowflake added to Azure Data Factory.""Snowflake connectivity was recently added and if the vendor provided some videos on how to create data then that would be helpful.""We have experienced some issues with the integration. This is an area that needs improvement.""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.""The product could provide more ways to import and export data.""The pricing model should be more transparent and available online.""This solution is currently only useful for basic data movement and file extractions, which we would like to see developed to handle more complex data transformations."
