Efficient pipeline building with intuitive UI and powerful Python features
The declarative language in Python is very powerful as the learning curve is really less. The UI is also very intuitive, and it makes sense. The core features are strong, which are supported by Apache Airflow variables, DAGs, and connections. Connections make it really extendable to plug-ins and custom modules we can write around it.
HJ
It is a very stable and scalable product without downtime.
I suggest that before you purchase a solution, you understand their business well, and before selecting a supplier to understand what they are targeting. Too many companies go into this with complex procedures and processes,not understanding it and trying to model it as it goes. So, in the end, they end up with a solution that it is not what they aimed for in the beginning.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"I found the following features very useful: DAG - Workload management and orchestration of tasks using."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"The product integrates well with other pipelines and solutions."
"Apache Airflow can be integrated or used to run multiple files."
"It's stable."
"I worked on a project at a leading German bank for two years, successfully migrating large applications with hundreds of jobs."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good."
"It is very stable. There is no downtime."
 

Cons

"We need to develop our workflow description and notations because out of the box, Apache Airflow does not provide some features that are needed."
"I want to see Apache Airflow have more integrations with more production-based databases since it is an area where the product lacks currently."
"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."
"We're currently using version 1.10, but I understand that there's a lot of improvements in version 2. In the earlier version that we're using, we sometimes have problems with maintenance complexity. Actually using Airflow is okay, but maintaining it has been difficult."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"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."
"Programmatically, it's very good, and it doesn't have any competitors, but you cannot develop anything in Airflow UI. You need to develop everything within the program. In the market, other tools have come up recently as competitors to Airflow, and they also give graphical programming options, whereas Airflow doesn't provide that feature currently. All the DAGs you want to build need to be coded in Python."
"One area for improvement would be to address specific functionalities removed in recent updates that were previously useful for our operations."
"The setup and configuration is complex."
"The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use a community edition of Apache Airflow. It is open source and free."
"For the time being, it doesn't cost anything."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"It is an open-source solution."
"It is an open-source tool. There are no additional fees or charges associated with the product."
"Although Airflow is open source software, there's also commercial support for it by Astronomer. We personally don't use the commercial support, but it's always an option if you don't mind the extra cost."
"Apache Airflow is open-source and free. Hyperscalers like Google (with Composer), Azure, and AWS offer managed Airflow services."
"The pricing for the product is reasonable."
