"One of the most valuable features of Azure Data Factory is the drag-and-drop interface. This helps with workflow management because we can just drag any tables or data sources we need. Because of how easy it is to drag and drop, we can deliver things very quickly. It's more customizable through visual effect."
"For developers that are very accustomed to the Microsoft development studio, it's very easy for them to complete end-to-end data integration."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"From what we have seen so far, the solution seems very stable."
"The trigger scheduling options are decently robust."
"ADF is another ETL tool similar to Informatica that can transform data or copy it from on-prem to the cloud or vice versa. Once we have the data, we can apply various transformations to it and schedule our pipeline according to our business needs. ADF integrates with Databricks. We can call our Databricks notebooks and schedule them via ADF."
"I can do everything I want with SSIS and Azure Data Factory."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."

"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."

"In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added."
"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."
"There should be a way that it can do switches, so if at any point in time I want to do some hybrid mode of making any data collections or ingestions, I can just click on a button."
"The product could provide more ways to import and export data."
"There aren't many third-party extensions or plugins available in the solution."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
