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."This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"The product integrates well with other pipelines and solutions."
"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."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"The best feature is the customization."
"Apache Airflow is useful for workflow automation, making it capable of automating pipelines, data pipelines, and data warehouse processes."
"Since Apache works very well on Python, we can manage everything and create pipelines there."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"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."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"There is an area for improvement in onboarding new people. They should make it simple for newcomers. Else, we have to put a senior engineer to operate it."
"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."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"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."
"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
