No deployment cost, quick implementation, pay only for the processing time and data
The primary use case of this solution is to extract ETLS, transform and load data, and organize database synchronization The most valuable feature of this solution is the data flow, which is the same SQL server in important service, integration services, which is a very robust and powerful tool…

A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users
The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am one hundred percent happy with the stability."
"It makes it easy to collect data from different sources."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Data Factory is that it has a good combination of flexibility, fine-tuning, automation, and good monitoring."
"I can do everything I want with SSIS and Azure Data Factory."
"I like that it's a monolithic data platform. This is why we propose these solutions."
"Data Flow and Databricks are going to be extremely valuable services, allowing data solutions to scale as the business grows and new data sources are added."
"The most important feature is that it can help you do the multi-threading concepts."
"Data Factory's best features include its data source connections, GUI for building data pipelines, and target loading within Azure."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."
"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things. TIBCO is very good for cloud integration"
 

Cons

"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."
"Azure Data Factory uses many resources and has issues with parallel workflows."
"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."
"It can improve from the perspective of active logging. It can provide active logging information."
"The setup and configuration process could be simplified."
"Data Factory's cost is too high."
"Data Factory's monitorability could be better."
"Sometimes I need to do some coding, and I'd like to avoid that. I'd like no-code integrations."
"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."
"The deployment was rather complicated."
"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is based on usage and is not cheap."
"The pricing is pay-as-you-go or reserve instance. Of the two options, reserve instance is much cheaper."
"The licensing model for Azure Data Factory is good because you won't have to overpay. Pricing-wise, the solution is a five out of ten. It was not expensive, and it was not cheap."
"The cost is based on the amount of data sets that we are ingesting."
"ADF is cheaper compared to AWS."
"It's not particularly expensive."
"In terms of licensing costs, we pay somewhere around S14,000 USD per month. There are some additional costs. For example, we would have to subscribe to some additional computing and for elasticity, but they are minimal."
"It seems very low initially, but as the data grows, the solution’s bills grow exponentially."
"We don't pay for a license."
