Drag-and-drop pipelines have saved days of work and now automate data movement and backfilling

If the AI features were more improved so that I don't have to provide each and every detail, Azure Data Factory could be improved in a much better way by improving the AI features. For example, if I want to fetch any data from a raw source, I need to provide each and every detail. But if I am just uploading my raw data and if AI will sync with that data, it can analyze that data and give me proper suggestions on how that should be done in a proper way. Automatic suggestions could improve in a much better way. As I have mentioned, the AI features as well as more drag-and-drop activities could be improved. If I am making a pipeline, it should give me suggestions, such as which activity should be used, so that I don't have to remember each activity. If I have used one activity, I shouldn't have to remember what activity should I use next. It should give auto-suggestions. That is why I have given a nine out of 10. Currently, I don't know about its governance and security, but in view of its improvement, I think Azure Data Factory should improve in these areas. As I already mentioned, the AI features should be improved. Also, the auto-suggestion features should also improve.

Efficient data integration and good automation with challenging configurability

The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met. The application also lacks capabilities within its terminal commands that are not available in their GUI. It requires a lot of configurability, which could be streamlined for an enterprise application user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is beneficial that the solution is written with Spark as the back end."

"For developers that are very accustomed to the Microsoft development studio, it's very easy for them to complete end-to-end data integration."

"Microsoft's technical support is responsive and quick to help."

"I am one hundred percent happy with the stability."

"Data Factory lets us consolidate those steps into a single pipeline."

"Data Factory allows you to pull data from multiple systems, transform it according to your business needs, and load it into a data warehouse or data lake."

"Data Flow and Databricks are going to be extremely valuable services, allowing data solutions to scale as the business grows and new data sources are added."

"The solution is okay."

More Azure Data Factory pros

"The crawler agents they provide, as well as TetraScience exclusive parsers, allow for specific instruments that we use in our labs with proprietary formats to extract data and put it into more standard formats for various purposes."

"The ingestion engines were pretty good."

Cons

"There's no Oracle connector if you want to do transformation using data flow activity, so Azure Data Factory needs more connectors for data flow transformation."

"Real-time replication is required, and this is not a simple task."

"Areas for improvement would be the product's performance and its mapping of data flow."

"Sometimes, the compute fails to process data if there is a heavy load suddenly, and it doesn't scale up automatically."

"Azure Data Factory uses many resources and has issues with parallel workflows."

"You cannot use a custom data delimiter, which means that you have problems receiving data in certain formats."

"They should work on optimizing their licensing model and pricing structure."

"Data Factory could be improved in terms of data transformations by adding more metadata extractions."

More Azure Data Factory cons

"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."

"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support."

"The licensing model for Azure Data Factory is good because you won't have to overpay. Pricing-wise, the solution is a five out of ten. It was not expensive, and it was not cheap."

"For our use case, it is not expensive. We take into the picture everything: resources, learning curve, and maintenance."

"The solution is cheap."

"The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."

"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."

"It's not particularly expensive."

"Data Factory is affordable."
