We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory and Delphix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Feature-wise, one of the most valuable ones is the data flows introduced recently in the solution."
"ADF is another ETL tool similar to Informatica that can transform data or copy it from on-prem to the cloud or vice versa. Once we have the data, we can apply various transformations to it and schedule our pipeline according to our business needs. ADF integrates with Databricks. We can call our Databricks notebooks and schedule them via ADF."
"An excellent tool for pipeline orchestration."
"Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."
"It is easy to integrate."
"I can do everything I want with SSIS and Azure Data Factory."
"The tool's most valuable features are its connectors. It has many out-of-the-box connectors. We use ADF for ETL processes. Our main use case involves integrating data from various databases, processing it, and loading it into the target database. ADF plays a crucial role in orchestrating these ETL workflows."
"It makes it easy to collect data from different sources."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"It is a stable solution."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The product's technical support has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I have not found any real shortcomings within the product."
"Currently, smaller businesses face a disadvantage in terms of pricing, and reducing costs could address this issue."
"The user interface could use improvement. It's not a major issue but it's something that can be improved."
"For some of the data, there were some issues with data mapping. Some of the error messages were a little bit foggy. There could be more of a quick start guide or some inline examples. The documentation could be better."
"A room for improvement in Azure Data Factory is its speed. Parallelization also needs improvement."
"It would be better if it had machine learning capabilities."
"Data Factory could be improved by eliminating the need for a physical data area. We have to extract data using Data Factory, then create a staging database for it with Azure SQL, which is very, very expensive. Another improvement would be lowering the licensing cost."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
