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."
"The workflow automation features in GitLab, particularly its low code/no code approach, are highly beneficial for accelerating development speed. This feature allows for quick creation of pipelines and offers customization options for integration needs, making it versatile for various use cases. GitLab supports a wide range of connectors, catering to a majority of integration needs. Azure Data Factory's virtual enterprise and monitoring capabilities, the visual interface of GitLab makes it user-friendly and easy to teach, facilitating adoption within teams. While the monitoring capabilities are sufficient out of the box, they may not be as comprehensive as dedicated enterprise monitoring tools. GitLab's monitoring features are manageable for production use, with the option to integrate log analytics or create custom dashboards if needed. The data flow feature in Azure Data Factory within GitLab is valuable for data transformation tasks, especially for those who may not have expertise in writing complex code. It simplifies the process of data manipulation and is particularly useful for individuals unfamiliar with Spark coding. While there could be improvements for more flexibility, overall, the data flow feature effectively accomplishes its purpose within GitLab's ecosystem."
"The most valuable aspect is the copy capability."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Data Factory is the core features that help you through the whole Azure pipeline or value chain."
"It is very modular; it works well, is very flexible, and you can easily bring in outside capabilities and build any features you want."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"The most valuable features are data transformations."
"The feature I found most helpful in Azure Data Factory is the pipeline feature, including being able to connect to different sources. Azure Data Factory also has built-in security, which is another valuable feature."
"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."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire 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."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"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 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

"I did not see any positive impact from Azure Data Factory overall."
"Azure Data Factory is a bit complicated compared to Informatica. There are a lot of connectors that are missing and there are a lot of instances where I need to create a server and install Integration Runtime."
"Occasionally, there are problems within Microsoft itself that impacts the Data Factory and causes it to fail."
"The performance and stability are touch and go."
"While it has a range of connectors for various systems, such as ERP systems, the support for these connectors can be lacking."
"It does not appear to be as rich as other ETL tools. It has very limited capabilities."
"It's a good idea to take a Microsoft course. Because they are really helpful when you start from your journey with 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."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to bulk uploading; there are problems with it when you hit the upper limit."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."
"In terms of licensing costs, we pay somewhere around S14,000 USD per month. There are some additional costs. For example, we would have to subscribe to some additional computing and for elasticity, but they are minimal."
"Our licensing fees are approximately 15,000 ($150 USD) per month."
"I am aware of the pricing of Azure Data Factory, but I prefer not to disclose specific details."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
