We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is robust.""Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution.""Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use.""The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."

"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.""Azure Data Factory became more user-friendly when data-flows were introduced.""What I like best about Azure Data Factory is that it allows you to create pipelines, specifically ETL pipelines. I also like that Azure Data Factory has connectors and solves most of my company's problems.""It makes it easy to collect data from different sources.""We use the solution to move data from on-premises to the cloud.""The most valuable feature of Azure Data Factory is the core features that help you through the whole Azure pipeline or value chain.""The most valuable feature is the copy activity.""The most valuable features are data transformations."

Cons
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution.""The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises.""Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished.""The product must improve its visibility and scalability."

More Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration Cons →

"I rate Azure Data Factory six out of 10 for stability. ADF is stable now, but we had problems recently with indexing on an SQL database. It's slow when dealing with a huge volume of data. It depends on whether the database is configured as general purpose or hyperscale.""Data Factory has so many features that it can be a little difficult or confusing to find some settings and configurations. I'm sure there's a way to make it a little easier to navigate.""Lacks in-built streaming data processing.""Some of the optimization techniques are not scalable.""DataStage is easier to learn than Data Factory because it's more visual. Data Factory has some drag-and-drop options, but it's not as intuitive as DataStage. It would be better if they added more drag-and-drop features. You can start using DataStage without knowing the code. You don't need to learn how the code works before using the solution.""Data Factory's cost is too high.""The tool’s workflow is not user-friendly. It should also improve its orchestration monitoring.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "API Gateway is priced on the number of transactions you run through it. API Gateway is free, and you can install as many API Gateways as you like or are necessary for your network. For example, if all of the data is inside your network or firewall, you may just need one API Gateway. If you have external customers trying to come into your organization through your firewall, you're going to need one API Gateway outside the firewall and one inside the firewall. If you have a lot of remote offices, you may want to put API Gateway in some of those offices as well. They only charge you for your usage of it. In other words, the number of transactions going through it. That's a good benefit."
  • "The product is not expensive."
  • "Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."

  • "This is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."
  • "Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
