We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and Informatica Cloud API and App Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"The product integrates well with other pipelines and solutions."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"The interface is really good."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"I want to see Apache Airflow have more integrations with more production-based databases since it is an area where the product lacks currently."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"Programmatically, it's very good, and it doesn't have any competitors, but you cannot develop anything in Airflow UI. You need to develop everything within the program. In the market, other tools have come up recently as competitors to Airflow, and they also give graphical programming options, whereas Airflow doesn't provide that feature currently. All the DAGs you want to build need to be coded in Python."
"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"The setup is complex."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
