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 best part of this product is the extraction, transformation, and load."
"The solution is okay."
"The trigger scheduling options are decently robust."
"Data Factory's most valuable feature is Copy Activity."
"We have used other ETL solutions in the past, and Azure Data Factory is the best one."
"Most of our customers are Microsoft shops and prefer Azure Data Factory because they have good licensing options and a trust factor with Microsoft."
"Data Factory itself is great, it's pretty straightforward, you can easily add sources, join and lookup information, etc., and the ease of use is pretty good."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"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 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."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"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."
"This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications."
"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."
 

Cons

"Some prebuilt data source or data connection aspects are generic."
"It can improve from the perspective of active logging. It can provide active logging information."
"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."
"The initial setup is not very straightforward."
"Technical support isn't the best, as it's a bit delayed at times. Whenever we need some urgent support, wherein we have to restart or something has stuck, it takes a bit of time."
"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."
"Currently, smaller businesses face a disadvantage in terms of pricing, and reducing costs could address this issue."
"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."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"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 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."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"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."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle."
"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
"Our licensing fees are approximately 15,000 ($150 USD) per month."
"While I can't specify the actual cost, I believe it is reasonably priced and comparable to similar products."
"My company is on a monthly subscription for Azure Data Factory, but it's more of a pay-as-you-go model where your monthly invoice depends on how many resources you use. On a scale of one to five, pricing for Azure Data Factory is a four. It's just the usage fees my company pays monthly."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"Data Factory is expensive."
"The solution is cheap."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
