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.
WH
A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Cons

"DataStage is easier to learn than Data Factory because it's more visual. Data Factory has some drag-and-drop options, but it's not as intuitive as DataStage. It would be better if they added more drag-and-drop features. You can start using DataStage without knowing the code. You don't need to learn how the code works before using the solution."
"A room for improvement in Azure Data Factory is its speed. Parallelization also needs improvement."
"There aren't many third-party extensions or plugins available in the solution."
"The support and the documentation can be improved."
"Azure Data Factory's pricing in terms of utilization could be improved."
"Azure Data Factory uses many resources and has issues with parallel workflows."
"The tool’s workflow is not user-friendly. It should also improve its orchestration monitoring."
"It would be better if it had machine learning capabilities."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of licensing costs, we pay somewhere around S14,000 USD per month. There are some additional costs. For example, we would have to subscribe to some additional computing and for elasticity, but they are minimal."
"I am aware of the pricing of Azure Data Factory, but I prefer not to disclose specific details."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."
"The solution is cheap."
