What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Azure Data Factory?

ADF is cheaper compared to AWS.

I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price.

While I can't specify the actual cost, I believe it is reasonably priced and comparable to similar products.

It seems very low initially, but as the data grows, the solution’s bills grow exponentially.

I rate ADF six out of 10 for affordability. The cost depends on the services we use. It's usage-based.

I cannot comment on the pricing parts since our company's admin team handles it.

The cost is based on the amount of data sets that we are ingesting. The more data we ingest the more we pay.

I would rate Data Factory's pricing nine out of ten.

Azure Data factory is a pay-as-you-go service so cost depends on the number of connections, how many times each activity in that node is run, and how much data gets moved. There are a number of factors that define the price, but it pairs with your service. You're charged for the amount of data that's moved, but there are no charges for the features you use.

The pricing model is based on usage and is not cheap. Based on our activity, we pay about $2,000 per month. Pricing is rated a four out of ten.

I'm not sure about the exact cost of the solution.

I cannot comment on licensing costs because I was not involved.

The solution's fees are based on a pay-per-minute use plus the amount of data required to process. The more data you process the more CPUs and time is required which increases the cost of using this solution.

The cost is based on usage and the computing resources consumed. However, since Azure Data Factory connects with so many different functionalities that Azure provides, such as Azure functions, Logic apps and others in the Azure Data Factory pipelines, additional costs can be acquired by using other tools.

Data Factory is expensive.

The setup cost is only the time it takes to organize Azure resources so you can operate effectively and figure out how to manage different environments (dev/test/sit/uat/prod, etc.). Also, how to enable multiple developers to work on a single data factory without losing changes or conflicting other changes.

I'm not too familiar with the cost, but I believe we're reasonably happy with what we're paying. My understanding is that the cost of Data Factory is tied to consumption. It depends on the amount of data or the number of pipelines running, and the cost varies from month to month depending on the usage. You'll obviously pay more if you're scheduling heavy digital transformation processes to run every hour, but I don't think there are any other hidden costs or anything extra. When you set up a new account, you have a trial period that enables you to create a test pipeline or process that's typical of your use case and then do a benchmark test to see if Data Factory can achieve the efficiency you need. You'll also get some idea of how much the process will cost to run. From there, it's straightforward to do a cost evaluation or comparison to see if it's the right fit for your company.

As far as I know, there isn’t any licensing per se for this solution.

You pay based on your workload. Depending on how much data you process through it, the cost could range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle. There are no additional fees to the standard licensing fee.

Pricing appears to be reasonable in my opinion.

I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support. I have been told that you have to be very careful because it can blow out. I have not experienced it yet, but I've been warned that as Azure ingestion increases, the costs can rise. In my opinion, the price is competitive.

There's no licensing for Azure Data Factory, they have a consumption payment model. How often you are running the service and how long that service takes to run. The price can be approximately $500 to $1,000 per month but depends on the scaling.

Licensing costs of Data Factory are reasonable. The cost is mainly on the Synapse and Databricks side of things because they are the tools where the computations are done and where you need more nodes and servers.

It's not particularly expensive.

We pay monthly for this.

The licensing cost is included in the Synapse.

The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume.

Cost-wise, it is quite affordable. It's not a factor in the decision-making process when it comes to whether or not we should use it. That said, the pricing is very reasonable.

I would not say that this product is overly expensive. It is competing with the other providers, and they have almost the same pricing model.

It's a pay-as-you-go module. I'm not very sure about cost because our usage currently is very low. But, I feel that if the usage extends beyond a certain threshold, it will start getting expensive. It depends what the threshold is. I see we're not at that threshold right now, so it's pretty decent right now.

Pricing is quite complex. I have had feedback from many people and many of my team members, and they say that it is difficult to understand. Understanding the pricing of Data Factory is quite complex. It is not presented in a straightforward way.

It's a pay-per-use model. So if you run it, it's hardly licensing. The entire cost of Azure is per-use. The price you pay is determined by how much you use it.

I don't have any information about the pricing. I don't deal with that aspect of the solution.

This is a cost-effective solution.

I would highly recommend Azure Data Factory as it has proof of concept.

Our licensing fees are approximately 15,000 ($150 USD) per month. There are no additional fees.

In terms of licensing costs, we pay somewhere around S14,000 USD per month. There are some additional costs. For example, we would have to subscribe to some additional computing and for elasticity, but they are minimal. For disaster recovery and readability setups, we did that on Data Lake.

In general, we've been satisfied with the pricing. However, since it's a service based on usage, it's really hard to estimate the cost in advance for this product. This makes it hard to quote. It's not so easy to estimate the costs in advance when giving a quote. That makes it difficult to convince some customers because most would like to see a number in advance.

I'm not sure of the specific cost, but it is monthly and is somewhere in the ballpark of a few hundred Euros. You don't have to pay for extras. Everything is included in the cost.
