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.

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

"It works very well with Azure Data Factory to pull the records, parse them quickly and post them in the database and data warehouse."
"The most valuable feature of this solution would be ease of use."
"The platform excels in data transformation with its user-friendly interface and robust monitoring capabilities, making ETL processes seamless."
"The most important feature is that it can help you do the multi-threading concepts."
"Data Factory lets us consolidate those steps into a single pipeline."
"For me, it was that there are dedicated connectors for different targets or sources, different data sources. For example, there is direct connector to Salesforce, Oracle Service Cloud, etcetera, and that was really helpful."
"Our stakeholders and clients have expressed satisfaction with Azure Data Factory's efficiency and cost-effectiveness."
"We have been using drivers to connect to various data sets and consume data."
"The solution is very stable and it's great once you get it working correctly."
"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."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"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."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes the integration a little faster and makes it easier to implement the integration quickly."
 

Cons

"The performance could be better. It would be better if Azure Data Factory could handle a higher load. I have heard that it can get overloaded, and it can't handle it."
"The only challenge with Azure Data Factory is its exception-handling mechanism."
"The main challenge with implementing Azure Data Factory is that it processes data in batches, not near real-time. To achieve near real-time processing, we need to schedule updates more frequently, which can be an issue. Its interface needs to be lighter."
"The number of standard adaptors could be extended further."
"The initial setup is not very straightforward."
"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."
"Additionally, the ability to handle the largest volumes of data is another concern; if I have to manage more than one terabyte of data every day, I am not comfortable dealing with Azure Data Factory and had to switch to Oracle Data Integrators (ODI) because it lacks performance features."
"There is one particular problem with Azure Data Factory. When you have a parent-to-child relationship and the child has one more relationship, creating a hierarchy situation, there are issues."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"The solution is expensive."
"Licensing costs for this Oracle solution are expensive. ODI forms an integral part of the overall PaaS solution and becomes a kind of backbone for that particular service, which is painful because from a PaaS perspective, the licensing costs just shoot off the roof."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."
"I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support."
"Our licensing fees are approximately 15,000 ($150 USD) per month."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
"It's not particularly expensive."
"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."
"Pricing appears to be reasonable in my opinion."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
