Astro by Astronomer Reviews & Product Details - Page 10

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Detailed dash, great permission allocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit hard to find the link to airflow. the link button is a bit small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to seemlessly connect to Airflow jobs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing actually. Everything seems to work quite well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setup and deployment of Astronomer was easy, and it gets out of the way to make our Airflow environment simple to work with. 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.

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.

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.

Built on top of popular open source with timely update of new release Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Infra customization in which related to stuff we can customize on EKS cluster (we are using AWS for Astro Plan deployment) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Astronomer makes Airflow deployments easy, so we don't spend time reinventing the wheel and doing infrastructure/admin tasks. We can focus on just our particular use cases and ignore the rest! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The billing model - since we're charged per task, I find myself writing DAGs in a way to minimize tasks, when multiple tasks might make the job easier to observe/troubleshoot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed an Airflow solution without the hassle - something that would allow us to focus our time on data science rather than on maintaining infrastructure. The Astronomer team was there to help us along the way, and the product just worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit easier documentation to get us up and running quicker would be handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
