We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and Informatica Cloud API and App Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"The product is stable."
"The solution is quite configurable so it is easy to code within a configuration kind of environment."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The product integrates well with other pipelines and solutions."
"We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"I like the UI rework, it's much easier."
"The solution is flexible for all programming languages for all frameworks."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The interface is really good."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"We have faced scenarios where Apache Airflow becomes non-responsive, leading to job failures. To resolve such situations, we had to manually reboot Apache Airflow since it doesn't provide an option to restart within the application. This necessitated modifying some configurations to initiate a restart of all Apache Airflow components. Although Apache Airflow is generally dependable, it may occasionally encounter glitches that can disrupt production flows and batches."
"The automation capabilities could be improved; a visual workflow designer and a graphical tool to reduce coding would be very helpful. But for now, it's sufficient for our simple workflows."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"The setup is complex."
