We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory and SAP Replication Server 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."The trigger scheduling options are decently robust."
"It is easy to integrate."
"From my experience so far, the best feature is the ability to copy data to any environment. We have 100 connects and we can connect them to the system and copy the data from its respective system to any environment. That is the best feature."
"I think it makes it very easy to understand what data flow is and so on. You can leverage the user interface to do the different data flows, and it's great. I like it a lot."
"On the tool itself, we've never experienced any bugs or glitches. There haven't been crashes. Stability has been good."
"When it comes to our business requirements, this solution has worked well for us. However, we have not stretched it to the limit."
"We haven't had any issues connecting it to other products."
"The data factory agent is quite good and programming or defining the value of jobs, processes, and activities is easy."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"Occasionally, there are problems within Microsoft itself that impacts the Data Factory and causes it to fail."
"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."
"Integration of data lineage would be a nice feature in terms of DevOps integration. It would make implementation for a company much easier. I'm not sure if that's already available or not. However, that would be a great feature to add if it isn't already there."
"We require Azure Data Factory to be able to connect to Google Analytics."
"The tool’s workflow is not user-friendly. It should also improve its orchestration monitoring."
"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."
"The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes."
"It does not appear to be as rich as other ETL tools. It has very limited capabilities."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
