We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and Informatica Cloud API and App Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Apache Airflow is easy to use and can monitor task execution easily. For instance, when performing setup tasks, you can conveniently view the logs without delving into the job details."
"The best feature is the customization."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"It's stable."
"The user interface for monitoring and managing workflows has been excellent, particularly in the latest version. c"
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"I like the UI rework, it's much easier."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"The interface is really good."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"We're currently using version 1.10, but I understand that there's a lot of improvements in version 2. In the earlier version that we're using, we sometimes have problems with maintenance complexity. Actually using Airflow is okay, but maintaining it has been difficult."
"Programmatically, it's very good, and it doesn't have any competitors, but you cannot develop anything in Airflow UI. You need to develop everything within the program. In the market, other tools have come up recently as competitors to Airflow, and they also give graphical programming options, whereas Airflow doesn't provide that feature currently. All the DAGs you want to build need to be coded in Python."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"The setup is complex."
