Nothing particularly now. Hoping to use it sometime
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps with focus on data pipelines and limit time managing Apache
Good automation but with a few rough edges
What do you like best about the product?
I like that its managed, and its the best way to get into airflow by far.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as transparent in terms of pricing, i can host airflow locally myself and save money. They have to work more to support the core features for the enterprise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its a highly programmable platform for data pipeline creation.
great product for data teams
What do you like best about the product?
User-friendly interface, improving workflow management and ease of adoption.
What do you dislike about the product?
High learning curve for new users, requiring more time to explain concepts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows data teams to focus on building reliable data products rather than managing complex systems.
Astronomer: The best scheduling tool
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the user interface, as well as how easy it is to use and to identify both failures and successes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration of the Airflow UI leaves room for improvement. I feel it could be more seamless and user-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling multiple processes has become effortless for me. I am now able to schedule and keep track of anything I need for the project.
Seamless orchestration and reliability for data analytics pipelines!
What do you like best about the product?
Astro makes managing Airflow in our data analytics workflows incredibly smooth. It takes away the pain of infrastructure management, allowing us to focus on building insights instead of firefighting. The UI is clean, monitoring is straightforward, and scaling is effortless. I also appreciate the reliability – critical pipelines just run without constant babysitting. For our team, this has been a huge productivity boost.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s not much to dislike. Sometimes the learning curve for new team members can be steep because of Airflow concepts, but that’s not really Astro’s fault. If anything, I’d like to see even more built-in templates or best-practice guides for common data analytics use cases.

What problems is Astro by Astronomer solving and how is that benefiting you?
Astro is helping our FP&A data analytics team orchestrate and automate workflows that used to take a lot of manual effort. By running Airflow on Astro, we can easily move and transform data from Redshift into clean, reliable tables that power our dashboards and financial reports. This has made it much faster to build charts and insights that our business leaders rely on. The biggest benefit is consistency and trust in the data — processes run smoothly, without constant maintenance, and we spend more time analyzing results instead of fixing pipelines.

Top class at ease of use, with improvement points
What do you like best about the product?
Getting everything set up and running was a smooth process, thanks in part to the abundance of tutorials available for guidance. Whenever I needed assistance, the customer support team responded promptly and provided valuable help. Features can also be considered quite complete for a scheduling tool. It has also lots of integration with different types of cloud vendors, databases, and third parties.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think stability can be improved further. At times, we experience a small short performance issues, for example Astro API endpoints that went down. I also feel like the support can provide a bit more insights into our environment/deployment setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Astro takes care of the technical infrastructure involved in setting up Airflow, which saves us a significant amount of time. We no longer have to be concerned about software incompatibilities or managing package versions.

User-Friendly Tool for Automating Data Pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Astro by Astronomer automates data pipelines end-to-end, from extracting and transforming data to loading it into data warehouses and lakes. The software is user-friendly and abstracts the infrastructure setup, scaling, and sometimes even maintenance, making it easier to handle complex tasks without much hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see some forward deployed engineers to improve the service experience.

My experience with Astronomer has been really great.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how Astronomer is a great tool that gives me a lot of time back with helping with data orchestration and seamless processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I wish that Astronomer would be more intuitive and less memory intensive. Especially with starting up local instances. And better documentation for when things go awry. Also sometimes with deployments I wish that the support team was more useful with helping debug.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Astronomer to help give me a lot of time back in my day to day. I use it to help orchestrate tasks and workflows, especially when I use the DAGs. It helps automate a lot of menial processes that would otherwise take hours or even the full day.
