Not much to be honest. In fact, the only interesting thing is that the infrastructure can scale automatically to run your scheduled jobs. Also the technical support, if pinged strongly, can dedicate few hours to your issue, even in a meeting where the technical guys are sharing their screen with all the technical details. This is really helpful! Beside that, on the good feedback, the dev are able to use the product correctly, so all good for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer? First, the user interface. It is a bit messy, and the authentication part was weird until very recently. Second, the monitoring is inexistant. It means you need to implement your own logic to monitor whether or not your job are running properly. There is nothing out of the box. This is a big issue when it comes to production jobs. Third the user management: you cannot create groups of users and assign a group to a workspace. It's very old-fashion user management, so that when a new dev is hired, you have to add him manually to N workspaces. I'm not kidding... Fourth: the price, at the beginning it's cheap, but the price goes crazy quickly for a not-so-much big setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Astro by Astronomer solving and how is that benefiting you? We had many jobs running in crontabs on AWS EC2 servers. So we moved most of them to Astronomer, also adding new workflows directly to it. The good thing is that you have then a dedicated Kubernetes cluster for Astronomer, still under your organization.

I personally review all of the feedback we receive, and take reviews seriously to continuously improve our product. I wanted to share a few updates to our product that were recently released and address your feedback. As you know, our authentication was recently updated to make it a more seamless experience for users. We also released Astro Teams and SCIM, to solve some the user management problems you listed. You can now create your own groups of users within Astro and assign them a role; or you can leverage your existing IdP to automatically create groups and assign roles. Finally, we released pay-as-you-go pricing based on infrastructure consumption that offers competitive and transparent pricing. If you have a chance, we'd love for you to check out these improvements.
