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.

A well-established product that meets all our specifications in terms of usability
In the initial stage when we went with Data Integrator Cloud Service it was primarily the nativity factor that was key for us. Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications, and the ability to configure activities and direct integration with various other Oracle products, were the main attractive features within ODI. This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications. It meets all our specifications in terms of usability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface of Azure Data Factory is very usable with a more interactive visual experience, making it easier for people who are not as experienced in coding to work with."
"Our stakeholders and clients have expressed satisfaction with Azure Data Factory's efficiency and cost-effectiveness."
"The most valuable aspect is the copy capability."
"The most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are the flexibility, ability to move data at scale, and the integrations with different Azure components."
"The most valuable feature of this solution would be ease of use."
"The solution is okay."
"I like that it's a monolithic data platform. This is why we propose these solutions."
"Data Flow and Databricks are going to be extremely valuable services, allowing data solutions to scale as the business grows and new data sources are added."
"The most valuable thing to me is its simplicity. A person with zero knowledge can also develop the integration without having extensive technology knowledgebase. They can also work on creating their own integration."
"The solution is easy to manage and offers good integration. You can run all the tasks one by one which is really helpful, and pick the day and time to do so."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
 

Cons

"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."
"Real-time replication is required, and this is not a simple task."
"Data Factory's performance during heavy data processing isn't great."
"The product integration with advanced coding options could cater to users needing more customization."
"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."
"Azure Data Factory can improve by having support in the drivers for change data capture."
"The user interface could use improvement. It's not a major issue but it's something that can be improved."
"It's a good idea to take a Microsoft course. Because they are really helpful when you start from your journey with Data Factory."
"It can be made much easier for users. They should be allowed to easily monitor the data extraction and flow, allowing them to observe real-time data flow within the software, making the process straightforward."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"I would like to see different cloud adapters or connectors in case of integration. When you have Oracle to Oracle, they are good. They have really good connectors, but if it is a different ERP, like Obsidian, that is where they are faced with problems in OIC."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."
"I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support."
"Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle."
"Our licensing fees are approximately 15,000 ($150 USD) per month."
"Data Factory is expensive."
"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."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
