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."

"The number of standard adaptors could be extended further."
"We are too early into the entire cycle for us to really comment on what problems we face. We're mostly using it for transformations, like ETL tasks. I think we are comfortable with the facts or the facts setting. But for other parts, it is too early to comment on."

"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."

"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
