The go-to ETL tool for most situations
Azure Data Factory fits well into our overall systems architecture where we already utilize largely Azure services and also Microsoft based products in the on-premises environment. I think cost structure is also very competitive with Azure Data Factory. Most services provide a visual interface for designing ETL workflows, but our team found Azure Data Factory's interface more intuitive.

One of the best and reliable ETL & ELT platforms for pulling data from multiple sources
Azure Data Factory helps us automate to schedule jobs as per customer demands to make ETL triggers when the need arises. Anyone can define the workflow with the Azure Data Factory UI designer tool and easily test the systems. It helped us automate the same workflow with programming languages like Python or automation tools like ansible. Numerous options for connectivity be it a database or storage account helps us move data transfer to the cloud or on-premise systems.

- Azure Synapse Analytics (Azure SQL Data Warehouse) and Oracle Data Integrator
Easier UI, Pipelines & Dataflows with various different sources.
The easy integration with other Microsoft software as well as high processing speed, very flexible cost, and high level of security of Microsoft Azure products and services stack up against other similar products.

ADF is awesome!
I'd chose data factory because its very easy to use, its UI is beautiful, it's library for .net is very useful and it lives within the microsoft ecosystem.

Azure Data Factory - Don't Abandon SSIS Just Yet
Azure Data Factory is a relatively new player in the space, and its feature set marks it as such. It does not have the full features of a more mature product set such as any of the above. However, it does allow for the creation of ETL/ELT flows/pipelines with minimal initial training. I would actually consider it a more approachable product for a first time ETL developer (with the possible exception of AbInitio, which is highly intuitive). If you are an Azure shop, you at least want to look into it. If you're not, stick with one of the more mature offerings, or a 3rd party cloud-based tool that spans clouds. We are an Azure shop with an SSIS lineage, so it makes sense for us.
