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."The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"The solution is flexible for all programming languages for all frameworks."
"One of its most valuable features is the graphical user interface, providing a visual representation of the pipeline status, successes, failures, and informative developer messages."
"Apache Airflow is useful for workflow automation, making it capable of automating pipelines, data pipelines, and data warehouse processes."
"Since Apache works very well on Python, we can manage everything and create pipelines there."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"The stability of the product is very good."
"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"The dashboards could be enhanced."
"We need to develop our workflow description and notations because out of the box, Apache Airflow does not provide some features that are needed."
"The documentation must be improved."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"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."
"We have faced scenarios where Apache Airflow becomes non-responsive, leading to job failures. To resolve such situations, we had to manually reboot Apache Airflow since it doesn't provide an option to restart within the application. This necessitated modifying some configurations to initiate a restart of all Apache Airflow components. Although Apache Airflow is generally dependable, it may occasionally encounter glitches that can disrupt production flows and batches."
"Airflow should support the dynamic drag creation."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
