Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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's extremely consistent."
"Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."
"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"The workflow automation features in GitLab, particularly its low code/no code approach, are highly beneficial for accelerating development speed. This feature allows for quick creation of pipelines and offers customization options for integration needs, making it versatile for various use cases. GitLab supports a wide range of connectors, catering to a majority of integration needs. Azure Data Factory's virtual enterprise and monitoring capabilities, the visual interface of GitLab makes it user-friendly and easy to teach, facilitating adoption within teams. While the monitoring capabilities are sufficient out of the box, they may not be as comprehensive as dedicated enterprise monitoring tools. GitLab's monitoring features are manageable for production use, with the option to integrate log analytics or create custom dashboards if needed. The data flow feature in Azure Data Factory within GitLab is valuable for data transformation tasks, especially for those who may not have expertise in writing complex code. It simplifies the process of data manipulation and is particularly useful for individuals unfamiliar with Spark coding. While there could be improvements for more flexibility, overall, the data flow feature effectively accomplishes its purpose within GitLab's ecosystem."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Data Factory is the core features that help you through the whole Azure pipeline or value chain."
"I like that it's a monolithic data platform. This is why we propose these solutions."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
 

Cons

"Some known bugs and issues with Azure Data Factory could be rectified."
"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."
"Azure Data Factory's pricing in terms of utilization could be improved."
"Integration of data lineage would be a nice feature in terms of DevOps integration. It would make implementation for a company much easier. I'm not sure if that's already available or not. However, that would be a great feature to add if it isn't already there."
"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."
"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."
"You cannot use a custom data delimiter, which means that you have problems receiving data in certain formats."
"Data Factory could be improved by eliminating the need for a physical data area. We have to extract data using Data Factory, then create a staging database for it with Azure SQL, which is very, very expensive. Another improvement would be lowering the licensing cost."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For our use case, it is not expensive. We take into the picture everything: resources, learning curve, and maintenance."
"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 pricing model is based on usage and is not cheap."
"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."
"It seems very low initially, but as the data grows, the solution’s bills grow exponentially."
"Data Factory is expensive."
"Product is priced at the market standard."
"I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
