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.

Easy drag-and-drop interface and supports custom Python functions, but the performance needs to be better
The memory processing needs to be improved because when you deal with a large amount of data, the interface tends to hang a little bit. When the system boots up, it can take between two and five minutes, depending on the system memory (RAM). If the system is low on memory then it takes a long time to start up. If you are not familiar with Python then this product will be a little more difficult for you. It can take a long time to migrate from one version to the next because there are a lot of processes to deal with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Azure Data Factory is the drag-and-drop interface. This helps with workflow management because we can just drag any tables or data sources we need. Because of how easy it is to drag and drop, we can deliver things very quickly. It's more customizable through visual effect."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and the readily available adapters for connecting with various sources."
"I like how you can create your own pipeline in your space and reuse those creations. You can collaborate with other people who want to use your code."
"UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages."
"The most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are the flexibility, ability to move data at scale, and the integrations with different Azure components."
"It has built-in connectors for more than 100 sources and onboarding data from many different sources to the cloud environment."
"It's extremely consistent."
"Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."
"The drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy for business users."
 

Cons

"Lacks a decent UI that would give us a view of the kinds of requests that come in."
"You cannot use a custom data delimiter, which means that you have problems receiving data in certain formats."
"The solution needs to be more connectable to its own services."
"It's a good idea to take a Microsoft course. Because they are really helpful when you start from your journey with Data Factory."
"They should work on optimizing their licensing model and pricing structure."
"On the UI side, they could make it a little more intuitive in terms of how to add the radius components. Somebody who has been working with tools like Informatica or DataStage gets very used to how the UI looks and feels."
"Azure Data Factory should be cheaper to move data to a data center abroad for calamities in case of disasters."
"There's no Oracle connector if you want to do transformation using data flow activity, so Azure Data Factory needs more connectors for data flow transformation."
"The memory processing needs to be improved because when you deal with a large amount of data, the interface tends to hang a little bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"Product is priced at the market standard."
"I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support."
"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."
"Data Factory is affordable."
"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
"The pricing model is based on usage and is not cheap."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The open-source version is free to use, although it has a limitation of two-million records."
