Offered us a package sized to meet our needs. Great onboarding experience. UI is easy-to-use in comparison with others. No need to struggle with weird YAML files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pace of upgrades to the runtime is too quick. Docs are not always caught up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Proactive support, easy to use platform and also nice experts are available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Few features that are innovative compared to open source airflow, method of charge based on number of tasks kind of weird, because they encourage us to use airflow at the maximum but we are derived to avoid using many tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to set up multiple deployments of airflow that can scale infinitely.
Not having to worry about dealing with the underlying infrastructure.
The layers of monitoring and tooling around plain airflow.
Fantastic and quick support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setting up a separate aws account to run astro inside of.
Lack of access to underlying resources. Debugging can only really happen in conjunction with support engineers.
Lack of worker queues and kubernetes executor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Positive energy from the support team, constantly adding new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I only had a problem once, because the Astro cloud service went down and our business processes went offline for a couple of hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Astronomer makes it so I don't have to care about infrastructure for Airflow. We recently onboarded a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer - and he hasn't had to touch Airflow at all. Scaling up is a simple UI button - and my team can focus on the core business logic, rather than undifferentiated heavy lifting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much - the core logic is great - support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- The ease of managing the Airflow instance via the Astronomer UI (scaling up the instance, seeing health metrics, etc)
- Support is super responsive and helpful!
- Very reasonable and easy to understand usage-based pricing model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a pretty low-level complaint, but it would be nice if the community was a bit more active to share learnings across different companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI, it is user-friendly, and you find everything you need to deploy new instances of the astronomer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the dependency on AWS, I would like to deploy the same solution on other clouds like GCP or Azure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Astronomer has greatly simplified the process of setting up and managing our Airflow environments, and the help we've received from support has been top notch. Especially helpful in the setup process! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greater transparency around the hosted version might have persuaded us to that instead of running it on our own EKS cluster, although there's arguably long-term gains to be made in doing so anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Quick Airflow environment deployment. Good customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It might help to have more detailed metrics in the UI. Also, it would be nice to have the spot instances option to set your cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
