Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It makes it easy to collect data from different sources."
"In terms of my personal experience, it works fine."
"I like how you can create your own pipeline in your space and reuse those creations. You can collaborate with other people who want to use your code."
"It is very modular. It works well. We've used Data Factory and then made calls to libraries outside of Data Factory to do things that it wasn't optimized to do, and it worked really well. It is obviously proprietary in regards to Microsoft created it, but it is pretty easy and direct to bring in outside capabilities into Data Factory."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and the readily available adapters for connecting with various sources."
"Data Factory's best features are simplicity and flexibility."
"Data Factory's most valuable feature is Copy Activity."
"The solution can scale very easily."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"This solution is currently only useful for basic data movement and file extractions, which we would like to see developed to handle more complex data transformations."
"It does not appear to be as rich as other ETL tools. It has very limited capabilities."
"Azure Data Factory's pricing in terms of utilization could be improved."
"There aren't many third-party extensions or plugins available in the solution."
"I would like to see this time travel feature in Snowflake added to Azure Data Factory."
"When working with AWS, we have noticed that the difference between ADF and AWS is that AWS is more customer-focused. They're more responsive compared to any other company. ADF is not as good as AWS, but it should be. If AWS is ten out of ten, ADF is around eight out of ten. I think AWS is easier to understand from the GUI perspective compared to ADF."
"The setup and configuration process could be simplified."
"I would like to be informed about the changes ahead of time, so we are aware of what's coming."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"Documentation could be improved."
"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
