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.

Open workflows have simplified data ingestion and curation but still need better UI and scheduler resilience
I think there could be improvements or enhancements in Apache Airflow in terms of having a better UI experience. The UX can be done a bit better. The web interface of Apache Airflow has helped me in tracking and troubleshooting since I'm operational and part of the operational side of Apache Airflow. Mostly, I go into the logs of the web server and scheduler to check what's happening in the back-end instead of looking at the front-end. The UI can give errors related to pipelines, but it can be more improved if we get errors related to import errors and scheduling errors. These areas can be improved. Other than a better UI experience, I would want to see improvements in the scheduler. Sometimes, for user-made mistakes, the scheduler goes down. I experienced this issue and I'm not sure whether it got fixed right now or not. If a user is building a data pipeline in Apache Airflow and a user makes a mistake in their code, that makes the scheduler go down and eventually Apache Airflow goes down. That is not what is expected. If that gets fixed, then it can do wonders.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."
"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."
"The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"One of its most valuable features is the graphical user interface, providing a visual representation of the pipeline status, successes, failures, and informative developer messages."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"The product is stable."
"Apache Airflow is easy to scale and its UI improves with each release."
"The user experience of Apache Airflow is good."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"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."
"The in-built package dependencies in Python have some issues in Apache Airflow, making it an area that needs improvement."
"The stability and reliability of Apache Airflow cannot be praised as a great reliable application, but for small-scale solutions and small-scale use cases, we can always rely on Apache Airflow."
"I have some issues with the solution's communication."
"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
"The documentation must be improved."
"One area for improvement would be to address specific functionalities removed in recent updates that were previously useful for our operations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"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."
"The cost is quite affordable."
"It is an open-source tool. There are no additional fees or charges associated with the product."
"I use the tool's open-source version."
"Although Airflow is open source software, there's also commercial support for it by Astronomer. We personally don't use the commercial support, but it's always an option if you don't mind the extra cost."
"The solution is free if you use Amazon AWS."
"Apache Airflow is open-source and free of charge."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"Apache Airflow is a product that is free of licenses, meaning there is no need to buy a license."
