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 include its data source connections, GUI for building data pipelines, and target loading within Azure."

"The most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are the flexibility, ability to move data at scale, and the integrations with different Azure components."

"The platform excels in data transformation with its user-friendly interface and robust monitoring capabilities, making ETL processes seamless."

"The most valuable feature is the copy activity."

"The function of the solution is great."

"We have been using drivers to connect to various data sets and consume data."

"Its integrability with the rest of the activities on Azure is most valuable."

"Azure Data Factory is a low code, no code platform, which is helpful."

More Azure Data Factory pros

"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."

"A robust and efficient product."

"It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."

"Data modeling is a valuable feature."

"It is a robust system."

"The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features."

"It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."

Cons

"There is a problem with the integration with third-party solutions, particularly with SAP."

"Data Factory's monitorability could be better."

"When working with AWS, we have noticed that the difference between ADF and AWS is that AWS is more customer-focused. They're more responsive compared to any other company. ADF is not as good as AWS, but it should be. If AWS is ten out of ten, ADF is around eight out of ten. I think AWS is easier to understand from the GUI perspective compared to ADF."

"The setup and configuration process could be simplified."

"Some known bugs and issues with Azure Data Factory could be rectified."

"There are performance issues, particularly with the underlying compute, which should be configurable."

"Sometimes I need to do some coding, and I'd like to avoid that. I'd like no-code integrations."

"Currently, smaller businesses face a disadvantage in terms of pricing, and reducing costs could address this issue."

More Azure Data Factory cons

"Design and modeling could be simplified."

"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."

"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."

"The program is difficult to learn to use"

"The product could provide more features."

"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."

"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."

"I am aware of the pricing of Azure Data Factory, but I prefer not to disclose specific details."

"Azure products generally offer competitive pricing, suitable for diverse budget considerations."

"Product is priced at the market standard."

"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."

"It seems very low initially, but as the data grows, the solution’s bills grow exponentially."

"The pricing model is based on usage and is not cheap."

"Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle."

More Azure Data Factory pricing and cost advice

"Pricing is based on the number of user IDs and tyhe user ID works across a suite of products."

"The licensing cost is high for SAP NetWeaver compared to that for other products."

"All SAP products are expensive."
