We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and iGrafx Process360 Live Platform 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."The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"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."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"Its user-friendly interface makes it straightforward to operate, offering a plethora of features for data preparation, buffering, and format conversion."
"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."
"I like the UI rework, it's much easier."
"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."
"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"Simulation is most valuable."
"iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"The solution's technical support is of good quality since they offer fast and seamless services."
"I want to see Apache Airflow have more integrations with more production-based databases since it is an area where the product lacks currently."
"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."
"The dashboards could be enhanced."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"The automation capabilities could be improved; a visual workflow designer and a graphical tool to reduce coding would be very helpful. But for now, it's sufficient for our simple workflows."
"Apache Airflow could be improved by integrating some versioning principles."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"It can be more user-friendly."
"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
