We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory and TIBCO BusinessWorks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 solution is okay."
"The data mapping and the ability to systematically derive data are nice features. It worked really well for the solution we had. It is visual, and it did the transformation as we wanted."
"Most of our customers are Microsoft shops and prefer Azure Data Factory because they have good licensing options and a trust factor with Microsoft."
"Its integrability with the rest of the activities on Azure is most valuable."
"When it comes to our business requirements, this solution has worked well for us. However, we have not stretched it to the limit."
"Azure Data Factory became more user-friendly when data-flows were introduced."
"The overall performance is quite good."
"We have found the bulk load feature very valuable."
"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."
"I rate Azure Data Factory six out of 10 for stability. ADF is stable now, but we had problems recently with indexing on an SQL database. It's slow when dealing with a huge volume of data. It depends on whether the database is configured as general purpose or hyperscale."
"Data Factory has so many features that it can be a little difficult or confusing to find some settings and configurations. I'm sure there's a way to make it a little easier to navigate."
"User-friendliness and user effectiveness are unquestionably important, and it may be a good option here to improve the user experience. However, I believe that more and more sophisticated monitoring would be beneficial."
"Lacks in-built streaming data processing."
"The number of standard adaptors could be extended further."
"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."
"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."
"Some of the optimization techniques are not scalable."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
