Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Feature-wise, one of the most valuable ones is the data flows introduced recently in the solution."
"It is a complete ETL Solution."
"The user interface is very good. It makes me feel very comfortable when I am using the tool."
"Data Factory's best features are simplicity and flexibility."
"I like how you can create your own pipeline in your space and reuse those creations. You can collaborate with other people who want to use your code."
"It is very modular. It works well. We've used Data Factory and then made calls to libraries outside of Data Factory to do things that it wasn't optimized to do, and it worked really well. It is obviously proprietary in regards to Microsoft created it, but it is pretty easy and direct to bring in outside capabilities into Data Factory."
"UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages."
"The flexibility that Azure Data Factory offers is great."
"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
"It does not appear to be as rich as other ETL tools. It has very limited capabilities."
"Data Factory's performance during heavy data processing isn't great."
"There's space for improvement in the development process of the data pipelines."
"Integration of data lineage would be a nice feature in terms of DevOps integration. It would make implementation for a company much easier. I'm not sure if that's already available or not. However, that would be a great feature to add if it isn't already there."
"Occasionally, there are problems within Microsoft itself that impacts the Data Factory and causes it to fail."
"Azure Data Factory's pricing in terms of utilization could be improved."
"The number of standard adaptors could be extended further."
"The support and the documentation can be improved."
"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools."
"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
