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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"I like that it's a monolithic data platform. This is why we propose these solutions."
"We have been using drivers to connect to various data sets and consume data."
"The data flows were beneficial, allowing us to perform multiple transformations."
"The most valuable features are data transformations."
"From my experience so far, the best feature is the ability to copy data to any environment. We have 100 connects and we can connect them to the system and copy the data from its respective system to any environment. That is the best feature."
"An excellent tool for pipeline orchestration."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in which you can create an ETL pipeline."
More Azure Data Factory pros
"The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features."
"It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."
"A robust and efficient product."
"Data modeling is a valuable feature."
"It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."
"It is a robust system."
"Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics."
 

Cons

"Azure Data Factory should be cheaper to move data to a data center abroad for calamities in case of disasters."
"Lacks a decent UI that would give us a view of the kinds of requests that come in."
"Some prebuilt data source or data connection aspects are generic."
"The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes."
"Currently, smaller businesses face a disadvantage in terms of pricing, and reducing costs could address this issue."
"Data Factory would be improved if it were a little more configuration-oriented and not so code-oriented and if it had more automated features."
"A room for improvement in Azure Data Factory is its speed. Parallelization also needs improvement."
"The number of standard adaptors could be extended further."
More Azure Data Factory cons
"Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."
"Design and modeling could be simplified."
"The product could provide more features."
"The program is difficult to learn to use"
"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."
"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."
"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Product is priced at the market standard."
"Data Factory is affordable."
"Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle."
"It seems very low initially, but as the data grows, the solution’s bills grow exponentially."
"I would rate Data Factory's pricing nine out of ten."
"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."
"The cost is based on the amount of data sets that we are ingesting."
"The solution is cheap."
More Azure Data Factory pricing and cost advice
"The licensing cost is high for SAP NetWeaver compared to that for other products."
"Pricing is based on the number of user IDs and tyhe user ID works across a suite of products."
"All SAP products are expensive."
