Working with python and spinning up flows in the cloud just like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Got caught in the middle of a big transition. Too many releases! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prefect has enabled our team to orchestrate the execution of a variety of services, with complex interdependencies, into a single flow. Automating complex workflows helps reduce user error and helps engineers focus on their areas of expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to some competitors, the language support for Prefect is minimal (Python only). Support for defining flows in additional languages would enable polyglot engineering environments to leverage Prefect even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Prefect has an incredible community around it.

2. They are dedicated to improving the product with helpful features and regular updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't really think of anything bad about it :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy orchestration and visualization, also its decorator in python make it a tool a super easy-to-learn tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its documentation, should appear more tutorial about how to use it using docker and deploy it in aws Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prefect maintains pythonic style of coding with minimal intrusions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if the documentation was more specific and up to date Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prefect doesn't force us into using a specific platform, but rather it integrates quite nicely with our existing codebases and doesn't force us to migrate/buy-in to some isolated/opaque service. The support and community are also incredible additions to the great documentation they make available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there are some features pertaining to concurrency and parallelism limits that still need some work when running a high volume of API calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Prefect Cloud is a good UI for managing flows

- Flows are easy to build, maintain and monitor

- Easier to use than Dagster, Luigi and Airflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Doesn't have good integration with data governance tools (unlike Airflow)

- No way to deploy/bundle pip requirements with flows unless using Docker images

- (Non-paid) support via Slack is so-so. Not always responsive.

- Prefect Cloud is relatively expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to start with, just regular python, simple ui and cli, docs are well written with examples and very helpful slack community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the integrations to 3 party tools is less intuetive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prefect was the perfect orchestration tool to migrate when our airflow environment failed to be scalable and manageable. Prefect provided the flexibility to choose code storage, runners and executors. The cherry on top was the ability to handle multi-tenancy, which simplified the workflows and reduced the development time.

Prefect coupled with Kubernetes provided the ability to scale without any reliability issues. For example - One of the workflows on Airflow used to take 3 to 4 days to complete (one year backfill), but with Prefect, we could execute the same workflow in 20 minutes.

Prefect has significantly reduced the operational expense of maintaining the orchestration environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prefect 1.0 lacked some needed features, but Prefect 2.0 has covered that requirement. So we haven't found any significant downside to using Prefect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
