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

"Feature-wise, one of the most valuable ones is the data flows introduced recently in the solution."
"This solution will allow the organisation to improve its existing data offerings over time by adding predictive analytics, data sharing via APIs and other enhancements readily."
"The flexibility that Azure Data Factory offers is great."
"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."
"The solution includes a feature that increases the number of processors used which makes it very powerful and adds to the scalability."
"The reason that we implemented this product is for the full integration with the whole Azure environment."
"It is easy to deploy workflows and schedule jobs."
"ADF is another ETL tool similar to Informatica that can transform data or copy it from on-prem to the cloud or vice versa. Once we have the data, we can apply various transformations to it and schedule our pipeline according to our business needs. ADF integrates with Databricks. We can call our Databricks notebooks and schedule them via ADF."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"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 the integration a little faster and makes it easier to implement the integration quickly."
 

Cons

"The tool’s workflow is not user-friendly. It should also improve its orchestration monitoring."
"Currently, our company requires a monitoring tool, and that isn't available in Azure Data Factory."
"As far as customer service and support with Azure Data Factory, we are not always satisfied with the response time."
"Some prebuilt data source or data connection aspects are generic."
"Snowflake connectivity was recently added and if the vendor provided some videos on how to create data then that would be helpful."
"The product integration with advanced coding options could cater to users needing more customization."
"From my perspective, the pricing seems like it could be more user-friendly."
"Some of the optimization techniques are not scalable."
"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."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's fees are based on a pay-per-minute use plus the amount of data required to process."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
