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 java based platform, which is used for application integration and has a user-friendly GUI

I haven't encountered any drawbacks with TIBCO BusinessWorks so far. Despite being a new user for the past year, everything has been smooth, including development and deployment. Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution handles large volumes of data very well. One of its best features is its ability to integrate data end-to-end, from pulling data from the source to accessing Databricks. This makes it quite useful for our needs."

"It's cloud-based, allowing multiple users to easily access the solution from the office or remote locations. I like that we can set up the security protocols for IP addresses, like allow lists. It's a pretty user-friendly product as well. The interface and build environment where you create pipelines are easy to use. It's straightforward to manage the digital transformation pipelines we build."

"The solution includes a feature that increases the number of processors used which makes it very powerful and adds to the scalability."

"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."

"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."

"The most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are the flexibility, ability to move data at scale, and the integrations with different Azure components."

"In terms of my personal experience, it works fine."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and the readily available adapters for connecting with various sources."

More Azure Data Factory pros

"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."

"The most valuable feature is the integration."

"Customer support is very efficient."

"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."

"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."

"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."

"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."

"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

Cons

"Data Factory's monitorability could be better."

"Areas for improvement in Azure Data Factory include connectivity and integration. When you use integration runtime, whenever there's a failure, the backup process in Azure Data Factory takes time, so this is another area for improvement."

"We are too early into the entire cycle for us to really comment on what problems we face. We're mostly using it for transformations, like ETL tasks. I think we are comfortable with the facts or the facts setting. But for other parts, it is too early to comment on."

"There are limitations when processing more than one GD file."

"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 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."

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

"There's space for improvement in the development process of the data pipelines."

More Azure Data Factory cons

"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."

"The communication protocols could be improved."

"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."

"There is room for improvement on the learning side."

"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."

"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."

"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."

"Technical support is average. It's not the best."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."

"The solution's fees are based on a pay-per-minute use plus the amount of data required to process."

"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."

"I don't see a cost; it appears to be included in general support."

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

"Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."

"The price is fair."

"The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."

"Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."

"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."

"The cost depends on the components required."

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."

"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
