We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and WorkflowGen 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."
"Development on Apache Airflow is really fast, and it's easy to use with the newer updates. Everything is in Python, so it's not hard to understand. They also have a graphical view, so if you are not a programmer and you are just an administrator, you can easily track everything and see if everything is working or not."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"The product is stable."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"The documentation must be improved."
"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"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."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"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."
"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."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
