The best ETL service out there

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Data Factory from other similar products?

The one great thing about the Microsfot Azure Data Factory is that it is a fully cloud-based, serverless service, which means if a user wants to use it, they don't have to worry about the underlying infrastructure because the vendor takes care of that. Along with that, the customer support provided by Microsoft is very good and keen on solving the customer's issues.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Microsoft Azure Data Factory provides many great features that highly improve the productivity of a user, but I am a big fan of their data integration service. You can integrate the data with so many in-built connectors that are available and this is highly helpful in the ETL process.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Even though it's great to use the service provided by Microsoft Azure Data Factory, it does come with a challenge in terms of budget. The cost to use this is on the higher side, which is not ideal for companies that are on a lower budget, and it lacks the feature of data exploration.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking for a service that can fulfil all of your ETL needs, then please go ahead with Microsoft Azure Data Factory because it has almost all the features you need and they also provide great support to their customers.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy
  • Effective Service

Cons

  • Charges for Enhancements
