"Efficient Data Engineering, Needs Better Git Integration"

3/5

What do you like best about Azure Synapse Analytics?

I use Azure Synapse Analytics for ETL/Data Engineering flows, and I appreciate its ability to process large amounts of data, similar to Databricks or MS Fabric. I like the major connections it offers with Azure Data Lake and other Azure solutions, which aid in saving ingested data efficiently. Another aspect I enjoy is the ease of use with data pipelines, especially the low-code approach that allows me to create a prototype and basic ETL flow in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Synapse Analytics?

I believe it needs to improve its git integration features; I don't like the fact that every change is a commit with no clear commit message. Faster Spark Pool start time. Better Git integration framework. Implementation similar to Databricks is the best. Also, it's impossible to review code and pipelines in Azure DevOps, since all the files are JSONs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Synapse Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Azure Synapse Analytics for ETL and data engineering, ingesting and processing data with PySpark. It processes large data volumes efficiently like Databricks. The connection with Azure Datalake and low-code pipelines simplify workflows, enabling quick prototyping and ETL flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Supports multiple Resources- ADF, Databricks Notebooks and Warehouse"

3/5

What do you like best about Azure Synapse Analytics?

It is easy to use, we can create multiple jobs using synapse studio it could be azure data factory, databricks and SQL data warehouse. it supports all the processes and it easily handles a big amount of data we can easily define indexes and dimensions in the synapse analytics platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Synapse Analytics?

Dislike is not specific it is a bit costly and SQL data pool connectivity needs to be improved. It hangs when a large amount of data comes from more than 100K rows also query takes time to run sometimes it gives a timeout error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Synapse Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used synapse to handle the polybase-related data transformation through ADF and It has direct connectivity with databricks using JDBC connector so to store a result directly in the warehouse table I used it. It has fast processing and easily supports all applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
