Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use the solution to move data from on-premises to the cloud."
"Azure Data Factory's most valuable features are the packages and the data transformation that it allows us to do, which is more drag and drop, or a visual interface. So, that eases the entire process."
"The most valuable feature of this solution would be ease of use."
"Microsoft supported us when we planned to provision Azure Data Factory over a private link. As a result, we received excellent support from Microsoft."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"Feature-wise, one of the most valuable ones is the data flows introduced recently in the solution."
"One of the most valuable features of Azure Data Factory is the drag-and-drop interface. This helps with workflow management because we can just drag any tables or data sources we need. Because of how easy it is to drag and drop, we can deliver things very quickly. It's more customizable through visual effect."
"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"It has been a stable product."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"Lacks a decent UI that would give us a view of the kinds of requests that come in."
"Azure Data Factory can improve the transformation features. You have to do a lot of transformation activities. This is something that is just not fully covered. Additionally, the integration could improve for other tools, such as Azure Data Catalog."
"The need to work more on developing out-of-the-box connectors for other products like Oracle, AWS, and others."
"I have not found any real shortcomings within the product."
"Data Factory would be improved if it were a little more configuration-oriented and not so code-oriented and if it had more automated features."
"This solution is currently only useful for basic data movement and file extractions, which we would like to see developed to handle more complex data transformations."
"Azure Data Factory can improve by having support in the drivers for change data capture."
"There's no Oracle connector if you want to do transformation using data flow activity, so Azure Data Factory needs more connectors for data flow transformation."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."
