Alokik Gupta - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective microservice and task management but needs more dashboard features
The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable. By injecting the dependency of Spring Cloud Dataflow into our Spring Boot application and annotating it with 'enable task annotation', we can manage tasks effectively. Additionally, the platform allows us to create pipelines and use microservices like a logical AND gate, giving us greater control over our microservices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing I like about Spring Cloud Data Flow is its plug-and-play model."
"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."
"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it allows us to use different batch data sources, retrieve the data, and then do the data processing, after which we can convert and store it in the target."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable."
"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."
"The ease of deployment on Kubernetes, the seamless integration for orchestration of various pipelines, and the visual dashboard that simplifies operations even for non-specialists such as quality analysts."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"Teradata's capabilities enhance data management efficiency, support scalability, and contribute to faster query performance."
"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"Teradata can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
 

Cons

"I would improve the dashboard features as they are not very user-friendly."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."
"The solution's community support could be improved."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow is not an easy-to-use tool, so improvements are required."
"There were instances of deployment pipelines getting stuck, and the dashboard not always accurately showing the application status, requiring manual intervention such as rerunning applications or refreshing the dashboard."
"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."
"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."
"​I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly.​"
"The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"​The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code.​"
"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."
"Teradata's UI could be improved."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
"If you want support from Spring Cloud Data Flow there is a fee. The Spring Framework is open-source and this is a free solution."
"The solution provides value for money, and we are currently using its community edition."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
"It is still a very expensive solution. While I very much like the pure technological supremacy of the software itself, I believe Teradata as a company needs to become more affordable. They are already losing the market to more flexible or cheaper competitors."
"It's a very expensive product."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space."
"The price of Teradata could be less expensive."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
"Make sure you have the in-house skills to design and support the solution, as relying on external sources is extremely costly and tends to lock you into specific platforms, tools, and paradigms."
