"Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"I found the following features very useful: DAG - Workload management and orchestration of tasks using."
"The solution is flexible for all programming languages for all frameworks."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."

"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"The interface is really good."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."

"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."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"Airflow should support the dynamic drag creation."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"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."
"The documentation must be improved."
"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."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"The setup is complex."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
