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

"We have been using drivers to connect to various data sets and consume data."
"The trigger scheduling options are decently robust."
"UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages."
"The initial setup is pretty simple and it can be deployed in a couple of hours."
"My only advice is that Azure Data Factory, particularly for data ingestion, is a good choice."
"This is an excellent tool for pipeline orchestration; connecting the different components and activities as well as gathering data."
"Azure Data Factory is great because it's a cloud service; you do not have to take care of the installation and configuration yourself."
"Most of our customers are Microsoft shops and prefer Azure Data Factory because they have good licensing options and a trust factor with Microsoft."
"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 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."
"The solution is very stable and it's great once you get it working correctly."
"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."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
 

Cons

"The setup and configuration process could be simplified."
"There's space for improvement in the development process of the data pipelines."
"You cannot use a custom data delimiter, which means that you have problems receiving data in certain formats."
"But, I feel that if the usage extends beyond a certain threshold, it will start getting expensive."
"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."
"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"Sometimes, the compute fails to process data if there is a heavy load suddenly, and it doesn't scale up automatically."
"As far as customer service and support with Azure Data Factory, we are not always satisfied with the response time."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."
"The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."
"Our licensing fees are approximately 15,000 ($150 USD) per month."
"I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support."
"The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."
"Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle."
"The solution's fees are based on a pay-per-minute use plus the amount of data required to process."
"Product is priced at the market standard."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
