Integrates diverse data sources and streamlines ETL processes effectively
Regarding potential areas of improvement for Azure Data Factory, there is a need for better data transformation, especially since many people are now depending on DataBricks more for connectivity and data integration. Azure Data Factory should consider how to enhance integration or filtering for more transformations, such as integrating with Spark clusters. I am satisfied with Azure Data Factory so far, but I suggest integrating some AI functionality to analyze data during the transition itself, providing insights such as null records, common records, and duplicates without running a separate pipeline or job. The monitoring tools in Azure Data Factory are helpful for optimizing data pipelines; while the current feature is adequate, they can improve by creating a live dashboard to see the online process, including how much percentage has been completed, which will be very helpful for people who are monitoring the pipeline.

Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL
We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has provided us with an easier, and more efficient way to carry out data migration tasks."
"The solution can scale very easily."
"The solution includes a feature that increases the number of processors used which makes it very powerful and adds to the scalability."
"The most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are the flexibility, ability to move data at scale, and the integrations with different Azure components."
"In terms of my personal experience, it works fine."
"The solution handles large volumes of data very well. One of its best features is its ability to integrate data end-to-end, from pulling data from the source to accessing Databricks. This makes it quite useful for our needs."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Data Factory is that it has a good combination of flexibility, fine-tuning, automation, and good monitoring."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
 

Cons

"Data Factory could be improved in terms of data transformations by adding more metadata extractions."
"There is room for improvement primarily in its streaming capabilities. For structured streaming and machine learning model implementation within an ETL process, it lags behind tools like Informatica."
"I would like to see this time travel feature in Snowflake added to Azure Data Factory."
"It's a good idea to take a Microsoft course. Because they are really helpful when you start from your journey with Data Factory."
"Sometimes I need to do some coding, and I'd like to avoid that. I'd like no-code integrations."
"The support and the documentation can be improved."
"One area for improvement is documentation. At present, there isn't enough documentation on how to use Azure Data Factory in certain conditions. It would be good to have documentation on the various use cases."
"The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."
"My company is on a monthly subscription for Azure Data Factory, but it's more of a pay-as-you-go model where your monthly invoice depends on how many resources you use. On a scale of one to five, pricing for Azure Data Factory is a four. It's just the usage fees my company pays monthly."
"I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support."
"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."
"Data Factory is affordable."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."
"While I can't specify the actual cost, I believe it is reasonably priced and comparable to similar products."
"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
