Facilitates seamless data pipeline creation with good analytics and and thorough monitoring

Azure Data Factory is a low code, no code platform, which is helpful. It provides many prebuilt functionalities that assist in building data pipelines. Also, it facilitates easy transformation with all required functionalities for analytics. Furthermore, it connects to different sources out-of-the-box, making integration much easier. The monitoring is very thorough, though a more readable version would be appreciable.

If you need a real big data solution, look for a distributed solution that actually has a proven track record.

This version of Infobright has zero support for distributed scalability. The internal smart grid employed for each table has a major flaw in that the data size cannot be expunged until 2GB of data is reached at the column-level. This is a major flaw, making usage in a big-data scenario impossible. This means that you can delete as many records from a database table as you want. However, unless the 2GB aggregate size threshold was reached for some of the columns in the table, no reduction in disk space usage will occur. Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk. I spent countless hours trying to find some workaround for this. I have nightmares of my e-mail inbox full of unsolvable questions about data size reduction from our field engineers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data is more scalable."

"I can do everything I want with SSIS and Azure Data Factory."

"I think it makes it very easy to understand what data flow is and so on. You can leverage the user interface to do the different data flows, and it's great. I like it a lot."

"Data Factory's best features include its data source connections, GUI for building data pipelines, and target loading within Azure."

"We use the solution to move data from on-premises to the cloud."

"Data Factory itself is great. It's pretty straightforward. You can easily add sources, join and lookup information, etc. The ease of use is pretty good."

"The solution has a good interface and the integration with GitHub is very useful."

"The interface of Azure Data Factory is very usable with a more interactive visual experience, making it easier for people who are not as experienced in coding to work with."

More Azure Data Factory pros

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

Cons

"I rate Azure Data Factory six out of 10 for stability. ADF is stable now, but we had problems recently with indexing on an SQL database. It's slow when dealing with a huge volume of data. It depends on whether the database is configured as general purpose or hyperscale."

"The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes."

"The product's technical support has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

"I have not found any real shortcomings within the product."

"The deployment should be easier."

"Currently, smaller businesses face a disadvantage in terms of pricing, and reducing costs could address this issue."

"Sometimes I need to do some coding, and I'd like to avoid that. I'd like no-code integrations."

"The support and the documentation can be improved."

More Azure Data Factory cons

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is based on the amount of data sets that we are ingesting."

"My company is on a monthly subscription for Azure Data Factory, but it's more of a pay-as-you-go model where your monthly invoice depends on how many resources you use. On a scale of one to five, pricing for Azure Data Factory is a four. It's just the usage fees my company pays monthly."

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

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

"Azure products generally offer competitive pricing, suitable for diverse budget considerations."

"It's not particularly expensive."

"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."

"The pricing model is based on usage and is not cheap."

More Azure Data Factory pricing and cost advice

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
