More Azure Data Factory Pros →

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."

More JumpMind SymmetricDS Pros →

Cons
"They require more detailed error reporting, data normalization tools, easier connectivity to other services, more data services, and greater compatibility with other commonly used schemas.""Data Factory would be improved if it were a little more configuration-oriented and not so code-oriented and if it had more automated features.""The initial setup is not very straightforward.""Azure Data Factory could benefit from improvements in its monitoring capabilities to provide a more robust feature set. Enhancing the ease of deployment to higher environments within Azure DevOps would be beneficial, as the current process often requires extensive scripting and pipeline development. It is also known for the flexibility of the data flow feature, particularly in supporting more dynamic data-driven architectures. These enhancements would contribute to a more seamless and efficient workflow within GitLab.""In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added.""There is no built-in function for automatically adding notifications concerning the progress or outline of a pipeline run.""Some known bugs and issues with Azure Data Factory could be rectified.""The user interface could use improvement. It's not a major issue but it's something that can be improved."
