Facilitates seamless data pipeline creation with good analytics and and thorough monitoring

Azure Data Factory is a low code, no code platform, which is helpful. It provides many prebuilt functionalities that assist in building data pipelines. Also, it facilitates easy transformation with all required functionalities for analytics. Furthermore, it connects to different sources out-of-the-box, making integration much easier. The monitoring is very thorough, though a more readable version would be appreciable.

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

"It is a complete ETL Solution."

"I can do everything I want with SSIS and Azure Data Factory."

"The most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are the flexibility, ability to move data at scale, and the integrations with different Azure components."

"I like that it's a monolithic data platform. This is why we propose these solutions."

"The data mapping and the ability to systematically derive data are nice features. It worked really well for the solution we had. It is visual, and it did the transformation as we wanted."

"Data Factory's most valuable feature is Copy Activity."

"Data Factory itself is great. It's pretty straightforward. You can easily add sources, join and lookup information, etc. The ease of use is pretty good."

"Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."

More Azure Data Factory pros

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

Cons

"Lacks in-built streaming data processing."

"Data Factory would be improved if it were a little more configuration-oriented and not so code-oriented and if it had more automated features."

"For some of the data, there were some issues with data mapping. Some of the error messages were a little bit foggy. There could be more of a quick start guide or some inline examples. The documentation could be better."

"Occasionally, there are problems within Microsoft itself that impacts the Data Factory and causes it to fail."

"There is no built-in function for automatically adding notifications concerning the progress or outline of a pipeline run."

"Some of the optimization techniques are not scalable."

"User-friendliness and user effectiveness are unquestionably important, and it may be a good option here to improve the user experience. However, I believe that more and more sophisticated monitoring would be beneficial."

"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."

More Azure Data Factory cons

"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 cost is based on the amount of data sets that we are ingesting."

"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."

"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."

"The price is fair."

"The solution's pricing is competitive."

"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."

"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."

"Product is priced at the market standard."

More Azure Data Factory pricing and cost advice

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
