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.

Syncs data in real-time while managing transaction volumes
The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me. I set it to a master-master pluggable database that serves as a container used from clones to provide test environments for various teams. This makes it very effective in managing high-volume transactions. The ability to sync data in real time is a key feature I rely on.
