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."
"The product is stable."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"Apache Airflow is useful for workflow automation, making it capable of automating pipelines, data pipelines, and data warehouse processes."
"Development on Apache Airflow is really fast, and it's easy to use with the newer updates. Everything is in Python, so it's not hard to understand. They also have a graphical view, so if you are not a programmer and you are just an administrator, you can easily track everything and see if everything is working or not."
"Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"I found the following features very useful: DAG - Workload management and orchestration of tasks using."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible."
"The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
 

Cons

"Enhancements become necessary when scaling it up from a few thousand workflows to a more extensive scale of five thousand or ten thousand workflows."
"One area for improvement would be to address specific functionalities removed in recent updates that were previously useful for our operations."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"There is a minor issue with the manual work in Airflow, as everyday activities are managed manually. There is no dashboard for us to check all the Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs); a dashboard would help us analyze the work better."
"I want to see Apache Airflow have more integrations with more production-based databases since it is an area where the product lacks currently."
"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 graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit."
"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option."
"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."

"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
