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

"It has built-in connectors for more than 100 sources and onboarding data from many different sources to the cloud environment."
"It is beneficial that the solution is written with Spark as the back end."
"It is very modular; it works well, is very flexible, and you can easily bring in outside capabilities and build any features you want."
"Azure Data Factory is a very easy to use tool."
"It is beneficial that the solution is written with Spark as the back end."
"It works very well with Azure Data Factory to pull the records, parse them quickly and post them in the database and data warehouse."
"Data Factory's best features include its data source connections, GUI for building data pipelines, and target loading within Azure."
"I find the most valuable feature in Azure Data Factory to be its ability to handle large datasets."
"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."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"This is a well-established product that's good to have if you hold an Oracle suite of applications."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
"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."
 

Cons

"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex. It needs to be simplified, and easier to understand."
"Data Factory could be improved in terms of data transformations by adding more metadata extractions."
"For some of the data, there were some issues with data mapping. Some of the error messages were a little bit foggy. There could be more of a quick start guide or some inline examples. The documentation could be better."
"Currently, our company requires a monitoring tool, and that isn't available in Azure Data Factory."
"There is always room to improve. There should be good examples of use that, of course, customers aren't always willing to share. It is Catch-22. It would help the user base if everybody had really good examples of deployments that worked, but when you ask people to put out their good deployments, which also includes me, you usually got, "No, I'm not going to do that." They don't have enough good examples. Microsoft probably just needs to pay one of their partners to build 20 or 30 examples of functional Data Factories and then share them as a user base."
"To my mind, the solution needs to be more connectable to its own services."
"While it has a range of connectors for various systems, such as ERP systems, the support for these connectors can be lacking."
"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."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."
"The price is fair."
"Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle."
"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."
"Pricing appears to be reasonable in my opinion."
"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."
"It seems very low initially, but as the data grows, the solution’s bills grow exponentially."
"I am aware of the pricing of Azure Data Factory, but I prefer not to disclose specific details."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
