Power packed tool for all your data related needs
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics from other similar products?
One can do everything related to creating a pipeline with this single tool. We can extract the data, transform it, orchestrate the pipeline and even store the data which I think is not feasible with any other tool to my knowledge.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
We can integrate it directly with Data Factory to facilitate any data transformations. We can also integrate it with other services and even external dashboarding tools which can be then used to create reports.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We need to start and switch off the storage cluster manually in this service. Also, the costing for persistent tables is high as compared to other Data warehousing tools.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Always remember to switch off the cluster whenever not being used since not doing this would increase your costing exponentially.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Performance Enhancing
- Inspires Innovation
- Caring
