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."The most valuable feature is the ease in which you can create an ETL pipeline."
"One advantage of Azure Data Factory is that it's fast, unlike SSIS and other on-premise tools. It's also very convenient because it has multiple connectors. The availability of native connectors allows you to connect to several resources to analyze data streams."
"I enjoy the ease of use for the backend JSON generator, the deployment solution, and the template management."
"The most valuable feature of this solution would be ease of use."
"UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages."
"Data Factory's best features are simplicity and flexibility."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"The security of the agent that is installed on-premises is very good."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."
"We require Azure Data Factory to be able to connect to Google Analytics."
"There is room for improvement primarily in its streaming capabilities. For structured streaming and machine learning model implementation within an ETL process, it lags behind tools like Informatica."
"The setup and configuration process could be simplified."
"The one element of the solution that we have used and could be improved is the user interface."
"If the user interface was more user friendly and there was better error feedback, it would be helpful."
"Azure Data Factory should be cheaper to move data to a data center abroad for calamities in case of disasters."
"It can improve from the perspective of active logging. It can provide active logging information."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools."
"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."
"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."
