Business processes are automated efficiently with a well-designed interface
There is room for improvement in integrations and customizations for AgilePoint and other low-code, no-code solutions. Additionally, the marketing of such products should be more honest. They often claim to solve all process automation needs, but they only handle problems of certain complexity. AgilePoint cannot handle highly complex processes like ERPs.

Orchestration has streamlined complex data pipelines and supports rapid table onboarding
Sometimes I feel that the scheduler in Apache Airflow does not work properly, with tasks not getting triggered. Additionally, the UI may be a bit more responsive. Logging and debugging can be enhanced. Not all tasks support XComs, and the Spark job which runs is not able to push XCom into the task. I have to run another task in order to see the output of the previous task. Currently, Apache Airflow that I am using for my client requires me to put my password itself, which is my account password. It could be integrated with Okta or something, because they already have Okta for other things, and two-factor authentication can be implemented in the login. From a governance perspective, it is adequate. There are different controls such as admin user. From the authentication point of view, it could be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Anytime companies need any solution with workflow, they can base it on AgilePoint, because AgilePoint allows companies to design and implement workflows very fast using the system's interface."
"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."
"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"To increase efficiency, it's quite simple to add dbt tasks to an Apache Airflow pipeline or orchestration file. With the tool, you can specify dependencies."
"The product integrates well with other pipelines and solutions."
"It helped us to manage the complex workflows and orchestration of tasks efficiently."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
 

Cons

"They should add more information about functionality."
"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."
"Technical support is very slow to respond and they need to be quicker in getting back to clients when problems arise."
"The dashboards could be enhanced."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"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."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"The in-built package dependencies in Python have some issues in Apache Airflow, making it an area that needs improvement."
"I am using a Celery Executor and I find that it crashes and I can't see any logs."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"Apache Airflow is a cheap solution."
"We use a community edition of Apache Airflow. It is open source and free."
"The pricing for the product is reasonable."
"Apache Airflow is a free solution that can be downloaded and ready for use at any moment."
"The cost is quite affordable."
"Apache Airflow is open-source and free. Hyperscalers like Google (with Composer), Azure, and AWS offer managed Airflow services."
"We are using the open-source version of Apache Airflow."
"Apache Airflow is a product that is free of licenses, meaning there is no need to buy a license."
