Drag-and-drop pipelines have saved days of work and now automate data movement and backfilling

If the AI features were more improved so that I don't have to provide each and every detail, Azure Data Factory could be improved in a much better way by improving the AI features. For example, if I want to fetch any data from a raw source, I need to provide each and every detail. But if I am just uploading my raw data and if AI will sync with that data, it can analyze that data and give me proper suggestions on how that should be done in a proper way. Automatic suggestions could improve in a much better way. As I have mentioned, the AI features as well as more drag-and-drop activities could be improved. If I am making a pipeline, it should give me suggestions, such as which activity should be used, so that I don't have to remember each activity. If I have used one activity, I shouldn't have to remember what activity should I use next. It should give auto-suggestions. That is why I have given a nine out of 10. Currently, I don't know about its governance and security, but in view of its improvement, I think Azure Data Factory should improve in these areas. As I already mentioned, the AI features should be improved. Also, the auto-suggestion features should also improve.

Streamlines daily data workflows and has improved reliability for complex business integrations

One area where Integrate.io Platform could improve is around visibility and debugging. While the logging is helpful, it can sometimes take time to trace issues across multiple steps in a pipeline, especially when flows become complex. A more streamlined way to track data through each stage or clearer error messaging would make troubleshooting faster and more intuitive. Another improvement would be flexibility in handling edge cases. For standard transformations, it works well, but when business logic gets more complex, it can feel a bit limited without introducing workarounds. Having more advanced customization options without sacrificing the ease of use would be a big plus, in my opinion. Documentation clarity around existing pipelines was also something I felt could be better supported. Since integrations tend to evolve over time, having strong built-in documentation features or easier ways to understand dependencies between jobs would have helped, especially when onboarding someone new. I only stayed with this client for six months, so we needed to bring or train their team members to do this. Revisiting flows after a while would have been nice. The last thing would be performance transparency could be improved. Jobs generally run reliably, but having clearer insights into performance, such as bottlenecks, processing time per step, or optimizing suggestions would make it easier to fine-tune workflows as data volume grows. Part of my job, and what the client in this case wanted, was to scale in the future without having to change to another tool, so that would help a lot. I would say the platform is solid, but these kinds of improvements that I mentioned would make it even more efficient to manage at scale and over time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you have Azure as a cloud service and you want to perform ETL then Azure Data Factory is a product that I can recommend."

"Feature-wise, one of the most valuable ones is the data flows introduced recently in the solution."

"In terms of my personal experience, it works fine."

"The platform excels in data transformation with its user-friendly interface and robust monitoring capabilities, making ETL processes seamless."

"The data flows were beneficial, allowing us to perform multiple transformations."

"An excellent tool for pipeline orchestration."

"It's extremely consistent."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and the readily available adapters for connecting with various sources."

More Azure Data Factory pros

"Integrate.io Platform has helped simplify my data pipelines, as it is really good with Salesforce sync."

"I think the platform helped them move forward towards a more streamlined, reliable, and scalable way of handling their data operations."

"Integrate.io Platform has positively impacted my organization by reducing a lot of our workloads because we can make this replication faster and connect it with other connectors, and it also gives us this GPU that allows us to work faster."

Cons

"It would be better if it had machine learning capabilities."

"The product's technical support has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

"The only challenge with Azure Data Factory is its exception-handling mechanism."

"Compared to Informatica, it's really crude. I think it's a very crude solution."

"It would be helpful if they could adjust the data capture feature so that when there are source-side changes ADF could automatically figure it out."

"We are too early into the entire cycle for us to really comment on what problems we face. We're mostly using it for transformations, like ETL tasks. I think we are comfortable with the facts or the facts setting. But for other parts, it is too early to comment on."

"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."

"In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added."

More Azure Data Factory cons

"Customer support could be better. We often get replies that are delayed, and sometimes there is a lot of back and forth."

"Another improvement would be flexibility in handling edge cases. For standard transformations, it works well, but when business logic gets more complex, it can feel a bit limited without introducing workarounds."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."

"Data Factory is affordable."

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

"The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."

"The licensing model for Azure Data Factory is good because you won't have to overpay. Pricing-wise, the solution is a five out of ten. It was not expensive, and it was not cheap."

"There's no licensing for Azure Data Factory, they have a consumption payment model. How often you are running the service and how long that service takes to run. The price can be approximately $500 to $1,000 per month but depends on the scaling."

"The solution's fees are based on a pay-per-minute use plus the amount of data required to process."
