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."Data Flow and Databricks are going to be extremely valuable services, allowing data solutions to scale as the business grows and new data sources are added."
"The data factory agent is quite good and programming or defining the value of jobs, processes, and activities is easy."
"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages."
"Data Factory itself is great. It's pretty straightforward. You can easily add sources, join and lookup information, etc. The ease of use is pretty good."
"We use the solution to move data from on-premises to the cloud."
"The initial setup is very quick and easy."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"Data Factory's monitorability could be better."
"It does not appear to be as rich as other ETL tools. It has very limited capabilities."
"A room for improvement in Azure Data Factory is its speed. Parallelization also needs improvement."
"Azure Data Factory's pricing in terms of utilization could be improved."
"There is room for improvement primarily in its streaming capabilities. For structured streaming and machine learning model implementation within an ETL process, it lags behind tools like Informatica."
"It would be better if it had machine learning capabilities."
"The number of standard adaptors could be extended further."
"Some of the optimization techniques are not scalable."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."
