Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"The solution is flexible for all programming languages for all frameworks."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"Since Apache works very well on Python, we can manage everything and create pipelines there."
"The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"The best feature is the customization."
"Development on Apache Airflow is really fast, and it's easy to use with the newer updates. Everything is in Python, so it's not hard to understand. They also have a graphical view, so if you are not a programmer and you are just an administrator, you can easily track everything and see if everything is working or not."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"We need to develop our workflow description and notations because out of the box, Apache Airflow does not provide some features that are needed."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"We're currently using version 1.10, but I understand that there's a lot of improvements in version 2. In the earlier version that we're using, we sometimes have problems with maintenance complexity. Actually using Airflow is okay, but maintaining it has been difficult."
"We have faced scenarios where Apache Airflow becomes non-responsive, leading to job failures. To resolve such situations, we had to manually reboot Apache Airflow since it doesn't provide an option to restart within the application. This necessitated modifying some configurations to initiate a restart of all Apache Airflow components. Although Apache Airflow is generally dependable, it may occasionally encounter glitches that can disrupt production flows and batches."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
