It's easy to implement your python script for the deployment in production. > > **Cons**: The only lack on Airflow so far is that it doesn't give you an overview on all you repository. > > Airflow is a well known and well implemented scheduler that can be use by developpers but also other non IT collabs. ----- ### "Review of Apache Airflow" — 5.0/5 > **Darian** | *27 May 2022* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Apache Airflow made our automations a lot more straightforward to maintain. There were issues we were seeing where our cronjobs were occasionally failing and there were no methods in place to automatically notify on these issues. Similarly, we also were looking for a solution to retry scripts if they failed, especially for tasks that were running overnight. The UI was also a pleasant upgrade from our CLI-based task scheduling system. > > **Cons**: The scheduling aspect could occasionally be slow, especially depending on how many tasks you may have. If you require tasks to be scheduled exactly at a certain time, there could be several second delays before the scheduler will pick up tasks so that should be kept in mind. The learning curve on some parts of Airflow could also be confusing if trying to learn or teach new developers. > > Airflow solved several problems for our business, namely notifications and retry behavior. In addition, it offered integrations with several services that lowered the amount of development time or knowledge we needed. We have since transitioned most of our standalone scripts to this system simply because it does everything we have needed it to. ----- ### "Deploy/schedule/manage DAG's easily with Airflow" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 March 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Airflow being served as a product in leading multi cloud environment is one of the big plus . I also comes at a cheaper rate with lots of features to manage the daily data load pipelines. > > **Cons**: The UI could have been improved by showing statistics of the task in more cleaner way. The version management of the batch that gets deployed should definitely be improved. > > A stable open source product solution to manage and execute batch jobs. ----- ### "Take control of your data processing workflows with Apache Airflow." — 4.0/5 > **Cesar Josue** | *20 April 2023* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Airflow is highly flexible and customizable, making it suitable for a wide range of use cases. Users can define their own tasks and workflows and tailor them according to their specific needs. It is designed to handle large workflows and big data sets. It can scale horizontally across multiple servers to handle large volumes of data processing. In addition, it provides a web user interface for monitoring and managing workflows in real-time. Users can check the status of their tasks and receive alerts about any issues or failures. It has a large community of developers and users, which means there is a wealth of documentation, tutorials, and resources available online. > > **Cons**: Airflow can be difficult to learn and properly configure, especially for those who do not have prior experience in programming or server administration. Some users have reported issues when setting up Airflow in different environments, which can result in stability or performance problems. Even though Airflow can work with a diverse range of tools and technologies, it may not be compatible with certain tools used by certain teams. > > Apache Airflow is a highly useful platform for orchestrating and coordinating complex data processing workflows. While there may be a steep learning curve and some configuration issues, the benefits in terms of flexibility, scalability, and monitoring make it a valuable tool for many data and analytics teams. ----- ### "Powerful workflow orchestration tool" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 April 2022* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the whole concept of DAGs which was made prominent, I think, by Airflow in the data engineering workspace. Airflow is really good at this, both in executing and also in monitoring. It makes dev and ops a lot easier for both data engineering and data science workflows. > > **Cons**: Task scheduling and execution used to be a bit slow, but this has been fixed since version 2.0. So far, I don't have anything else to not like about Airflow. > > Overall, Airflow has allowed us to develop and maintain a large number of automated workflows, both for data engineering and data science. It gave us a force multiplier for each data engineering hire which makes our team a lot more efficient compared to before. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1021332/apache-airflow?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1021332/apache-airflow) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
