Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"On the tool itself, we've never experienced any bugs or glitches. There haven't been crashes. Stability has been good.""An excellent tool for pipeline orchestration.""Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive.""Its integrability with the rest of the activities on Azure is most valuable.""I like that it's a monolithic data platform. This is why we propose these solutions.""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.""The feature I found most helpful in Azure Data Factory is the pipeline feature, including being able to connect to different sources. Azure Data Factory also has built-in security, which is another valuable feature.""The security of the agent that is installed on-premises is very good."

Cons
"I have not found any real shortcomings within the product.""The need to work more on developing out-of-the-box connectors for other products like Oracle, AWS, and others.""When working with AWS, we have noticed that the difference between ADF and AWS is that AWS is more customer-focused. They're more responsive compared to any other company. ADF is not as good as AWS, but it should be. If AWS is ten out of ten, ADF is around eight out of ten. I think AWS is easier to understand from the GUI perspective compared to ADF.""There should be a way that it can do switches, so if at any point in time I want to do some hybrid mode of making any data collections or ingestions, I can just click on a button.""Azure Data Factory should be cheaper to move data to a data center abroad for calamities in case of disasters.""Areas for improvement in Azure Data Factory include connectivity and integration. When you use integration runtime, whenever there's a failure, the backup process in Azure Data Factory takes time, so this is another area for improvement.""Data Factory's monitorability could be better.""One area for improvement is documentation. At present, there isn't enough documentation on how to use Azure Data Factory in certain conditions. It would be good to have documentation on the various use cases."
