"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The best feature is the customization."
"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."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"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."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"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."
"The dashboards could be enhanced."
"I have some issues with the solution's communication."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."

"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"There is an area for improvement in onboarding new people. They should make it simple for newcomers. Else, we have to put a senior engineer to operate it."

"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
