Joy Maitra - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."
"Data Factory allows you to pull data from multiple systems, transform it according to your business needs, and load it into a data warehouse or data lake."
"The feature I found most helpful in Azure Data Factory is the pipeline feature, including being able to connect to different sources. Azure Data Factory also has built-in security, which is another valuable feature."
"It is easy to deploy workflows and schedule jobs."
"We have found the bulk load feature very valuable."
"The data copy template is a valuable feature."
"I find the most valuable feature in Azure Data Factory to be its ability to handle large datasets."
"The most valuable aspect is the copy capability."

Cons

"The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes."
"The product could provide more ways to import and export data."
"Lacks in-built streaming data processing."
"There is no built-in pipeline exit activity when encountering an error."
"User-friendliness and user effectiveness are unquestionably important, and it may be a good option here to improve the user experience. However, I believe that more and more sophisticated monitoring would be beneficial."
"Azure Data Factory can improve the transformation features. You have to do a lot of transformation activities. This is something that is just not fully covered. Additionally, the integration could improve for other tools, such as Azure Data Catalog."
"The product's technical support has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Azure Data Factory uses many resources and has issues with parallel workflows."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate Data Factory's pricing nine out of ten."
"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."
"The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."
"The solution's fees are based on a pay-per-minute use plus the amount of data required to process."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
