Efficient pipeline building with intuitive UI and powerful Python features
The primary use case for us is ETL pipelines. We write some pipelines to ingest the data. That is the primary use. And, secondly, we use it to run some scheduling and orchestration. We need to run some automation jobs every day. So, we just write an Airflow task and pipeline that runs every day or…

It is a very stable and scalable product without downtime.
It's a one-way process which results in less back and forth work I find the flexibility most valuable. In addition, being able to connect and integrate with various systems, as well as being solution oriented is valuable to me, as well. The areas that would benefit in improvement would be the…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"Apache Airflow can be integrated or used to run multiple files."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"Its user-friendly interface makes it straightforward to operate, offering a plethora of features for data preparation, buffering, and format conversion."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"One of its most valuable features is the graphical user interface, providing a visual representation of the pipeline status, successes, failures, and informative developer messages."
"Apache Airflow is easy to use and can monitor task execution easily. For instance, when performing setup tasks, you can conveniently view the logs without delving into the job details."
"It's stable."
"It is very stable. There is no downtime."
"The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good."
 

Cons

"Apache Airflow improved workflow efficiency, but we had to find solutions for large workflows. For instance, a monthly workflow with 1200 jobs had to be split into three to four pieces as it struggled with large job numbers. Loading a workflow with 500 jobs could take 10 minutes, which wasn't acceptable."
"I have some issues with the solution's communication."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"Enhancements become necessary when scaling it up from a few thousand workflows to a more extensive scale of five thousand or ten thousand workflows."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"The dashboards could be enhanced."
"The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"The setup and configuration is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's open source. You can install it locally on your own system. If you are deploying it in the production system, you normally deploy it on some cloud, such as EC2 service, which would have some cost. If you are setting up a Docker container or something for Apache Airflow yourself, which is quite easy, you can do pretty much everything online."
"The solution is cheap."
"It is an open-source solution."
"Apache Airflow is a free solution that can be downloaded and ready for use at any moment."
"The solution is free if you use Amazon AWS."
"Apache Airflow is open-source and free. Hyperscalers like Google (with Composer), Azure, and AWS offer managed Airflow services."
"I use the tool's open-source version."
"We are using the open-source version of Apache Airflow."
