Featured Reviews

KandaswamyMuthukrishnan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Sathish Pamisetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Security and integration features are appreciated but some bugs need addressing
The main feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its budget-friendly pricing compared to other middleware tools such as MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, or Workato. Additionally, Oracle Integration Cloud Service provides tools such as PCS and Apex for building user interfaces, allowing users to create UIs with drag-and-drop features. Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers capabilities for data customization and validation, handling different date formats, and API calls using REST and SOAP. With approximately 60 to 70 adapters, it allows integration with systems such as SAP, Salesforce, and ERP. Oracle Integration Cloud Service also comes with pre-built adapters, offering easy setup and security features such as OAuth for connecting with systems such as Salesforce.
