Integrates diverse data sources and streamlines ETL processes effectively
Regarding potential areas of improvement for Azure Data Factory, there is a need for better data transformation, especially since many people are now depending on DataBricks more for connectivity and data integration. Azure Data Factory should consider how to enhance integration or filtering for more transformations, such as integrating with Spark clusters. I am satisfied with Azure Data Factory so far, but I suggest integrating some AI functionality to analyze data during the transition itself, providing insights such as null records, common records, and duplicates without running a separate pipeline or job. The monitoring tools in Azure Data Factory are helpful for optimizing data pipelines; while the current feature is adequate, they can improve by creating a live dashboard to see the online process, including how much percentage has been completed, which will be very helpful for people who are monitoring the pipeline.

A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users
The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

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 feature is the ease of setting up pipelines for data and cloud integrations."
"The interface of Azure Data Factory is very usable with a more interactive visual experience, making it easier for people who are not as experienced in coding to work with."
"We have found the bulk load feature very valuable."
"This solution will allow the organisation to improve its existing data offerings over time by adding predictive analytics, data sharing via APIs and other enhancements readily."
"It is a complete ETL Solution."
"This solution has provided us with an easier, and more efficient way to carry out data migration tasks."
"Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."
"Its integrability with the rest of the activities on Azure is most valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things. TIBCO is very good for cloud integration"
"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to integrate more with other providers and should have a closer integration with Oracle BI."
"The need to work more on developing out-of-the-box connectors for other products like Oracle, AWS, and others."
"The inability to connect local VMs and local servers into the data flow is a limitation that prevents giving Azure Data Factory a perfect score."
"Azure Data Factory can improve the transformation features. You have to do a lot of transformation activities. This is something that is just not fully covered. Additionally, the integration could improve for other tools, such as Azure Data Catalog."
"Some known bugs and issues with Azure Data Factory could be rectified."
"Azure Data Factory should be cheaper to move data to a data center abroad for calamities in case of disasters."
"Data Factory would be improved if it were a little more configuration-oriented and not so code-oriented and if it had more automated features."
"The product integration with advanced coding options could cater to users needing more customization."
"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."
"The deployment was rather complicated."
"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is on a monthly subscription for Azure Data Factory, but it's more of a pay-as-you-go model where your monthly invoice depends on how many resources you use. On a scale of one to five, pricing for Azure Data Factory is a four. It's just the usage fees my company pays monthly."
"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."
"Azure products generally offer competitive pricing, suitable for diverse budget considerations."
"Data Factory is affordable."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
"Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle."
"I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support."
"I would rate Data Factory's pricing nine out of ten."
"We don't pay for a license."
