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.

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

"Azure Data Factory became more user-friendly when data-flows were introduced."

"ADF is another ETL tool similar to Informatica that can transform data or copy it from on-prem to the cloud or vice versa. Once we have the data, we can apply various transformations to it and schedule our pipeline according to our business needs. ADF integrates with Databricks. We can call our Databricks notebooks and schedule them via ADF."

"The most valuable aspect is the copy capability."

"I like how you can create your own pipeline in your space and reuse those creations. You can collaborate with other people who want to use your code."

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

"The flexibility that Azure Data Factory offers is great."

"The user interface is very good. It makes me feel very comfortable when I am using the tool."

"One advantage of Azure Data Factory is that it's fast, unlike SSIS and other on-premise tools. It's also very convenient because it has multiple connectors. The availability of native connectors allows you to connect to several resources to analyze data streams."

More Azure Data Factory pros

"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."

Cons

"In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added."

"It can improve from the perspective of active logging. It can provide active logging information."

"The solution needs to integrate more with other providers and should have a closer integration with Oracle BI."

"Integration of data lineage would be a nice feature in terms of DevOps integration. It would make implementation for a company much easier. I'm not sure if that's already available or not. However, that would be a great feature to add if it isn't already there."

"The tool’s workflow is not user-friendly. It should also improve its orchestration monitoring."

"There is no built-in function for automatically adding notifications concerning the progress or outline of a pipeline run."

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

"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."

More Azure Data Factory cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Our licensing fees are approximately 15,000 ($150 USD) per month."

"Azure Data Factory gives better value for the price than other solutions such as Informatica."

"It's not particularly expensive."

"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."

"While I can't specify the actual cost, I believe it is reasonably priced and comparable to similar products."

"Product is priced at the market standard."

"Pricing is comparable, it's somewhere in the middle."
