Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"Its user-friendly interface makes it straightforward to operate, offering a plethora of features for data preparation, buffering, and format conversion."
"I like the UI rework, it's much easier."
"The product is stable."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"I would like to see it more friendly for other use cases."
"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"We need to develop our workflow description and notations because out of the box, Apache Airflow does not provide some features that are needed."
"Programmatically, it's very good, and it doesn't have any competitors, but you cannot develop anything in Airflow UI. You need to develop everything within the program. In the market, other tools have come up recently as competitors to Airflow, and they also give graphical programming options, whereas Airflow doesn't provide that feature currently. All the DAGs you want to build need to be coded in Python."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
