Room For Improvement

Azure Data Factory needs improved integration, better scheduling, enhanced UI, simplified pricing, more connectors, and responsive support.
Oracle Integration Cloud Service needs improvements in error management, documentation, integration complexities, support for modern technologies, and operational stability.
There is a problem with the integration with third-party solutions, particularly with SAP.
When using Git services, there are challenges with linked services and triggers getting overridden when moving between different environments (Dev, UAT, Prod).
Sometimes, the compute fails to process data if there is a heavy load suddenly, and it doesn't scale up automatically.
The mapping is a bit complex, so configuration is not very easy for a new user.
Most large customers use multiple clouds, and Oracle's partnership with Azure and other hyperscalers needs additional development on the Integration Cloud Service side.
 

Setup Cost

Azure Data Factory pricing is usage-based and cost-effective, but large data volumes can lead to increased expenses.
Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers competitive pricing with flexible models, often securing discounts for existing clients despite potential customization costs.
The pricing is cost-effective.
It is considered cost-effective.
If integration points exceed 30, I recommend that customers use Oracle Integration Cloud Service as it becomes cost-effective with its pay-as-you-use model and multiple available packages.

Featured Reviews

Joy Maitra - PeerSpot reviewer
Facilitates seamless data pipeline creation with good analytics and and thorough monitoring
Azure Data Factory is a low code, no code platform, which is helpful. It provides many prebuilt functionalities that assist in building data pipelines. Also, it facilitates easy transformation with all required functionalities for analytics. Furthermore, it connects to different sources out-of-the-box, making integration much easier. The monitoring is very thorough, though a more readable version would be appreciable.
Virendra Phophaliya - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration experience improves operational efficiency and automation
It is very easy to integrate, and the pre-built APIs available to connect multiple systems help establish connections faster and more accurately. Customers need not worry about data volume flow, and Oracle charges based on usage. Multiple packages are available, such as 10 million messages per annum, allowing customers to choose packages for optimum cost. Oracle Integration Cloud Service makes it simple to connect any third-party products, and Oracle is key for adding pre-built APIs. For all major products, the APIs are available from Oracle itself. The implementation is simple because sufficient documentation is available, and my team has developed expertise. We know precisely what needs to be done. Based on scenarios, customers can have everything within their channel.
