The solution is stable with no issues. Stability is rated a nine out of ten.
We did have some breaches, but that was because we misconfigured something. Since we corrected it, we haven't had any issues.

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.

Sometimes, we experienced some instability, mainly on injection.

Production operation seems to run reliably so far, however, the development environment seems very buggy where something works one day and not the next.
View full review »Everything is computed inside the SQL server if we're working with pipelines, so we have to be very careful when designing our solution in Azure Data Factory. Alteryx spoiled us because we never cared how it looked in the backend because all the operations were happening on the Alteryx server. But in Azure Data Factory, they run on the capacity of our data warehouse. So Azure Data Factory cannot run your queries, and it directly sends the query to the instance in the SQL server or data warehouse. So we have to be very careful about how we perform certain operations.
We need to have knowledge of SQL and how to optimize our queries. If we are calling a stored procedure, it joins one table in Alteryx. It is pretty easy, and we just put a joint tool. Suppose we want to do it with a stored procedure in the Azure Data Factory. In that case, we have to be very careful about how we write our code. So that is a challenge for our team because we were not looking into how to optimize their SQL queries when fighting queries from Azure Data Factory to the data warehouse.
In addition, the workflows were running very slow, the performance was bad, and some queries were getting timed out because we have a threshold. So we faced many challenges and had to reeducate ourselves on SQL and query optimization.
View full review »Overall, I believe the stability has been good, but there have been a couple of occasions when Microsoft's resources needed to be allocated were overburdened, and we had to wait for unacceptable amounts of time to get our slot. It has now happened twice which is not ideal.
View full review »This solution is stable. We are using an Azure subscription, so there is no maintenance or direct updates, it's just always the latest version.

View full review »Azure Data Factory is very stable, so it's a four out of five for me. In some instances, the solution failed, but I wouldn't wholly blame Azure Data Factory because my company connected to some on-premise databases in some cases. Sometimes, you'll get errors from self-hosted integration, faulty connections, or the on-premise server is down, so my rating for stability is a four.

From a security perspective, the product has come up a long way.
With the Azure Cloud Platform, in 2015, I was in a different organization and it was not reliable at all. It has become much more reliable since then and is very stable at the moment. It's reliable.

The solution is new in the market and pretty stable because ADF is a little more codified than AWS. Synapse Analytics adds another tool for data.
Stability is not quite at the level of Informatica or DataStage.

This is a stable product and we're expecting more updates from Microsoft. We have not used more than one terabyte of data so that remains untested, but for one terabyte it works fine.
Development is only done on an occasional basis, but the solution is used every day. If it is streaming data then the process is continuous, otherwise, it is initiated by the user on demand.
