Pros

You can collaborate with other people who want to use your code.""Data Factory's most valuable feature is Copy Activity.""The data copy template is a valuable feature.""From my experience so far, the best feature is the ability to copy data to any environment. We have 100 connects and we can connect them to the system and copy the data from its respective system to any environment. That is the best feature.""It is beneficial that the solution is written with Spark as the back end.""The most valuable feature is the copy activity."

"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable.""It's scalable.""One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis.""The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions.""The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board.""The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized.""The solution is an affordable one.""The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization.

Cons
"The solution needs to be more connectable to its own services.""It's a good idea to take a Microsoft course. Because they are really helpful when you start from your journey with Data Factory.""There are limitations when processing more than one GD file.""The pricing scheme is very complex and difficult to understand.""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.""Currently, smaller businesses face a disadvantage in terms of pricing, and reducing costs could address this issue.""There is room for improvement primarily in its streaming capabilities. For structured streaming and machine learning model implementation within an ETL process, it lags behind tools like Informatica.""The setup and configuration process could be simplified."

More Azure Data Factory Cons →

"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist.""We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud.""We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding.""Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier.""The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced.""The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved.""The initial setup can be difficult.""The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
