Thulani David Mngadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Data flow feature is valuable for data transformation tasks
The workflow automation features in GitLab, particularly its low code/no code approach, are highly beneficial for accelerating development speed. This feature allows for quick creation of pipelines and offers customization options for integration needs, making it versatile for various use cases. GitLab supports a wide range of connectors, catering to a majority of integration needs. Azure Data Factory's virtual enterprise and monitoring capabilities, the visual interface of GitLab makes it user-friendly and easy to teach, facilitating adoption within teams. While the monitoring capabilities are sufficient out of the box, they may not be as comprehensive as dedicated enterprise monitoring tools. GitLab's monitoring features are manageable for production use, with the option to integrate log analytics or create custom dashboards if needed. The data flow feature in Azure Data Factory within GitLab is valuable for data transformation tasks, especially for those who may not have expertise in writing complex code. It simplifies the process of data manipulation and is particularly useful for individuals unfamiliar with Spark coding. While there could be improvements for more flexibility, overall, the data flow feature effectively accomplishes its purpose within GitLab's ecosystem.

Easy drag-and-drop interface and supports custom Python functions, but the performance needs to be better
The memory processing needs to be improved because when you deal with a large amount of data, the interface tends to hang a little bit. When the system boots up, it can take between two and five minutes, depending on the system memory (RAM). If the system is low on memory then it takes a long time to start up. If you are not familiar with Python then this product will be a little more difficult for you. It can take a long time to migrate from one version to the next because there are a lot of processes to deal with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution can scale very easily."
"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"The data copy template is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and the readily available adapters for connecting with various sources."
"Microsoft supported us when we planned to provision Azure Data Factory over a private link. As a result, we received excellent support from Microsoft."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in which you can create an ETL pipeline."
"The best part of this product is the extraction, transformation, and load."
"It's extremely consistent."
"The drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy for business users."
 

Cons

"Azure Data Factory could benefit from improvements in its monitoring capabilities to provide a more robust feature set. Enhancing the ease of deployment to higher environments within Azure DevOps would be beneficial, as the current process often requires extensive scripting and pipeline development. It is also known for the flexibility of the data flow feature, particularly in supporting more dynamic data-driven architectures. These enhancements would contribute to a more seamless and efficient workflow within GitLab."
"There's space for improvement in the development process of the data pipelines."
"In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added."
"The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes."
"The main challenge with implementing Azure Data Factory is that it processes data in batches, not near real-time. To achieve near real-time processing, we need to schedule updates more frequently, which can be an issue. Its interface needs to be lighter."
"The need to work more on developing out-of-the-box connectors for other products like Oracle, AWS, and others."
"Some known bugs and issues with Azure Data Factory could be rectified."
"Sometimes I need to do some coding, and I'd like to avoid that. I'd like no-code integrations."
"The memory processing needs to be improved because when you deal with a large amount of data, the interface tends to hang a little bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Product is priced at the market standard."
"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
"The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."
"Data Factory is affordable."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."
"There's no licensing for Azure Data Factory, they have a consumption payment model. How often you are running the service and how long that service takes to run. The price can be approximately $500 to $1,000 per month but depends on the scaling."
"Azure Data Factory gives better value for the price than other solutions such as Informatica."
"Azure products generally offer competitive pricing, suitable for diverse budget considerations."
"The open-source version is free to use, although it has a limitation of two-million records."
