"The two most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are that it's very scalable and that it's also highly reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the copy activity."
"I can do everything I want with SSIS and Azure Data Factory."
"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."
"It is very modular. It works well. We've used Data Factory and then made calls to libraries outside of Data Factory to do things that it wasn't optimized to do, and it worked really well. It is obviously proprietary in regards to Microsoft created it, but it is pretty easy and direct to bring in outside capabilities into Data Factory."
"The advantage of using MuleSoft as part as the Salesforce ecosystem is that anything new they build is guaranteed to work with the new features that are coming from the other side."

"The prebuilt connectors have saved our customers a lot of time and money."
"Data Factory could be improved in terms of data transformations by adding more metadata extractions."
"We have experienced some issues with the integration. This is an area that needs improvement."
"It can improve from the perspective of active logging. It can provide active logging information."
"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."
"Areas for improvement in Azure Data Factory include connectivity and integration. When you use integration runtime, whenever there's a failure, the backup process in Azure Data Factory takes time, so this is another area for improvement."
"Real-time replication is required, and this is not a simple task."
"We require Azure Data Factory to be able to connect to Google Analytics."
"I would like to see this time travel feature in Snowflake added to Azure Data Factory."
"One additional feature they could add might be something like regional prices. Since we're based in Brazil, we pay in dollars but earn in Brazilian Real."

"MuleSoft Composer needs to improve its interface and scalability."
"The technical support team's response time must be improved."
