"Strong at Scale Scheduling and Observability, but Documentation Needs Work"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Prefect?

The ability to schedule tasks at scale and then have clear observability into how they’re progressing is really valuable. Our tasks run smoothly even at larger scale, without issues. The interfaces also give us a solid overview of how our tasks are running, which makes it easier to monitor everything. On top of that, it includes a lot of out-of-the-box features that help streamline the full workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prefect?

The documentation is very poor for most use cases, and there were several times when we had to figure things out on our own. On top of that, support is limited to the self-hosted version, and the community wasn’t that helpful either. We ended up going for a paid plan, but for our use case it wasn’t ideal, and the cost didn’t feel worth it. Because of that, we ultimately managed to make it work with the self-hosted version.

I don’t think the product is very popular yet, but when it becomes more widely used, it will grow a good following. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
