"Astronomer improved our developer experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Astro by Astronomer?

The ability to test DAGs locally is second to none. You get complete exposure to what the DAG _should_ do locally so that there are no surprises when you move onto the staging or production environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer?

Astronomer forces you to learn Docker. The curse here is that you may stumble upon a strange error message when running astro dev start from the command line if something in your Dockerfile is not correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Takes care of a lot of issues for us so we don't need to reinvent the wheel!"
5/5
What do you like best about Astro by Astronomer?

Our team already had some experience using Airflow but we had managed it completely ourselves. Wanting to avoid some of the pain points there, we were looking for a fully managed service. We found Airflow to solve our problems without us having to reinvent the wheel. We also found the onboarding process relatively smooth and Astro offered significant resources to get us started.

What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer?

We didn't find anything that we disliked Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best cloud-managed data orchestration product on the market"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Astro by Astronomer?

It has aided in building infrastructure that supports CI/CD, environment management, and it's significantly increased the rate at which we can develop, test, and deploy ETL/ELT pipelines for analytics, machine learning, and business insight at our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer?

Some of the functionality in my local Apache Airflow instance is not available in the managed Apache Airflow instances in Astronomer. If they were consistent in functionality, we wouldn't run into environment issues when deploying dags to Astro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Definitely Recommend Astro"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Astro by Astronomer?

I like the ease of spinning up new deployments, as well as being able to see DAG run stats and Worker CPU/Memory usage in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer?

I would prefer if Worker CPU/Memory could be more granular so a specific process can be identified in the case of high CPU/Memory usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few things are hidden behind the CLI tool, and require using hidden features to, for example, mount volumes when spinning up the containers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Airflow Made Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Astro by Astronomer?

The Astronomer customer success team was extremely helpful throughout the onboarding process and was always available to help answer questions. Astronomer as a product has made our hosting of Airflow smooth and especially simplified local developer experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer?

Astro still has room for improvement in the IAC (infrastructure-as-code) space. Being able to do things like edit user access through code would be helpful, as well as more granular permission-based user controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
