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

"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"It has big potential, especially as a PaaS offering."
"The most valuable features are data transformations."
"Allows more data between on-premises and cloud solutions"
"The data is more scalable."
"The data copy template is a valuable feature, and with the pipeline template, it takes only a few clicks for the on-premises data to come in."
"Data Factory's best feature is the ease of setting up pipelines for data and cloud integrations."
"We have used other ETL solutions in the past, and Azure Data Factory is the best one."
"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."
"The solution is very stable and it's great once you get it working correctly."
"This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications."
"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."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
 

Cons

"This solution is currently only useful for basic data movement and file extractions, which we would like to see developed to handle more complex data transformations."
"I have encountered a problem with the integration with third-party solutions, particularly with SAP."
"While it has a range of connectors for various systems, such as ERP systems, the support for these connectors can be lacking."
"There's space for improvement in the development process of the data pipelines."
"The need to work more on developing out-of-the-box connectors for other products like Oracle, AWS, and others."
"The one element of the solution that we have used and could be improved is the user interface."
"The speed and performance need to be improved."
"In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."
"I am aware of the pricing of Azure Data Factory, but I prefer not to disclose specific details."
"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."
"The solution is cheap."
"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."
"The cost is based on the amount of data sets that we are ingesting."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
