We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and Informatica Cloud API and App Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"The product is stable."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"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."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"The interface is really good."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"I want to see Apache Airflow have more integrations with more production-based databases since it is an area where the product lacks currently."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"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."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"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."
"Programmatically, it's very good, and it doesn't have any competitors, but you cannot develop anything in Airflow UI. You need to develop everything within the program. In the market, other tools have come up recently as competitors to Airflow, and they also give graphical programming options, whereas Airflow doesn't provide that feature currently. All the DAGs you want to build need to be coded in Python."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"The setup is complex."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
