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

"The scalability of the product is impressive."
"It works very well with Azure Data Factory to pull the records, parse them quickly and post them in the database and data warehouse."
"Instead of individual people reviewing these files, we were able to automate the ingestion process, which saved a bunch of time and hours of repeated manual work."
"It is a complete ETL Solution."
"It is very modular; it works well, is very flexible, and you can easily bring in outside capabilities and build any features you want."
"Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."
"I am one hundred percent happy with the stability."
"The solution handles large volumes of data very well. One of its best features is its ability to integrate data end-to-end, from pulling data from the source to accessing Databricks. This makes it quite useful for our needs."
"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 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 solution is very stable and it's great once you get it working correctly."
"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 the integration a little faster and makes it easier to implement the integration quickly."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
 

Cons

"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."
"Data Factory has so many features that it can be a little difficult or confusing to find some settings and configurations. I'm sure there's a way to make it a little easier to navigate."
"Azure Data Factory's pricing in terms of utilization could be improved."
"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."
"I have encountered a problem with the integration with third-party solutions, particularly with SAP."
"The stability of Azure as a PaaS could be improved."
"In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added."
"The solution should offer better integration with Azure machine learning. We should be able to embed the cognitive services from Microsoft, for example as a web API. It should allow us to embed Azure machine learning in a more user-friendly way."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"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 pricing could be more competitive."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's fees are based on a pay-per-minute use plus the amount of data required to process."
"While I can't specify the actual cost, I believe it is reasonably priced and comparable to similar products."
"Azure Data Factory gives better value for the price than other solutions such as Informatica."
"The solution is cheap."
"Pricing appears to be reasonable in my opinion."
"For our use case, it is not expensive. We take into the picture everything: resources, learning curve, and maintenance."
"Data Factory is affordable."
"The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
