"It's cloud-based, allowing multiple users to easily access the solution from the office or remote locations. I like that we can set up the security protocols for IP addresses, like allow lists. It's a pretty user-friendly product as well. The interface and build environment where you create pipelines are easy to use. It's straightforward to manage the digital transformation pipelines we build.""The scalability of the product is impressive.""We haven't had any issues connecting it to other products.""I think it makes it very easy to understand what data flow is and so on. You can leverage the user interface to do the different data flows, and it's great. I like it a lot.""Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data.""The initial setup is very quick and easy.""UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages.""On the tool itself, we've never experienced any bugs or glitches. There haven't been crashes. Stability has been good."

Cons
"There's space for improvement in the development process of the data pipelines.""We have experienced some issues with the integration. This is an area that needs improvement.""On the UI side, they could make it a little more intuitive in terms of how to add the radius components. Somebody who has been working with tools like Informatica or DataStage gets very used to how the UI looks and feels.""There is no built-in function for automatically adding notifications concerning the progress or outline of a pipeline run.""The number of standard adaptors could be extended further.""The setup and configuration process could be simplified.""If the user interface was more user friendly and there was better error feedback, it would be helpful.""Lacks in-built streaming data processing."

More Azure Data Factory Cons →

"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data.""As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms.""Delphix is quite expensive.""Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling.""One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating.""Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option.""The solution's price needs improvement.""The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
