Cons
"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation.""Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications.""Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving.""On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."

More Spring Cloud Data Flow Cons →

"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations.""From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
