We have 100 connects and we can connect them to the system and copy the data from its respective system to any environment. That is the best feature.""We haven't had any issues connecting it to other products.""UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages.""From what we have seen so far, the solution seems very stable.""The flexibility that Azure Data Factory offers is great."

Cons
"The speed and performance need to be improved.""I would like to see this time travel feature in Snowflake added to Azure Data Factory.""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.""One area for improvement is documentation. At present, there isn't enough documentation on how to use Azure Data Factory in certain conditions. It would be good to have documentation on the various use cases.""We have experienced some issues with the integration. This is an area that needs 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.""Lacks a decent UI that would give us a view of the kinds of requests that come in.""The solution needs to be more connectable to its own services."

More Azure Data Factory Cons →

"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding.""I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients.""The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik.""We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools.""The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text.""We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud.""The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved.""The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
