Simple Python based orchestration for Data Engineering
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I can just start with whatever Python code I have and then add a decorator is fantastic. It makes the development part of orchestration super easy for most developers to use and doesn't require a high degree of technical expertise to make functional code.
What do you dislike about the product?
The process for going from a simple POC to a fully functional Cloud (eg AWS ECS) platform is not documented very well and as such isn't that easy to get working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Orchestration often seems to be ignored by businesses and as soon as something fails they spend half their time just trying to find what happened. Prefect makes this process super simple and the fact that it is fairly flexible, allowing you to add moreinformation into the flow logs and artifacts makes it even more useful as a single place to find status, info, etc on your workloads.
simplicity above all
What do you like best about the product?
Prefect offers simplicity for orchestrating all our scripts.
Deployment are easy and many connectors such as GCP secret help us manage the security of our scrip and platform.
Constant updates on the UI is really appreciated as well

What do you dislike about the product?
It may lack some tutorial here and there.
Community is great but maybe a bit too expert.
It should maybe be a bit more easy for beginners or develop some help for each cloud provider

Great docs and community
What do you like best about the product?
Developer experience is great - docs are straightforward and the Slack community is helpful and responsive, even if it is smaller than the other more established orchestrator communities. Coming from Airflow, I always wondered if setting up an orchestration framework was always so complicated - but my experience with Prefect has been extremely smooth. I only wish that all Airflow users would make the switch to Prefect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be great if Prefect had more connectors, and a larger community - but I think this is only a matter of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Orchestrating ETL processes; Prefect makes it extremely simple to set up and monitor custom workflows.
Modern and sleek automation at a click!
What do you like best about the product?
As a developer, it was quite easy to set up and implement into our existing python flows. The UI is nice and sleek and the documentation is quite good which is something not to take for granted.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing options: I'm glad they added an enterprise option, however working for a startup, it has been hard trying to convince the higher ups to buy it.
Also community is still small for now but think it's growing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation and data orchestration. Before we were trying to use airflow but that was too clunky.
Great Tool for Small Budding Start-ups
What do you like best about the product?
It was easy to set up and manage, particularly for junior data engineers. Support is always a Slack message away. Prefect community make up for less Stack Overflow coverage on the tool. Great tutorials on Medium/YouTube. Responsive to user feedback and regular updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Error messages sometimes aren't the most clear. Documentation could be improved. Terminology and concepts requires some getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a small team in a small company, Prefect helps to ensure we are spending time on what really matters since repetitive tasks and workflows can be easily and flexibly automated
Forget your Airflow days. Prefect does it all and even better in a cloud-first world.
What do you like best about the product?
Overall - I appreciate the simplicity Prefect provides and recommend it to all small-mid data teams. It allows myself to scale data pipelines effortlessly, ensuring full focus to be on the code itself. In the time I have been using Prefect it has matured significantly, documentation is in a much better state and currently extremely helpful. The open-source packages coupled with the 'blocks' system has saved me a ton of time (and provides a silky smooth local > prod workflow).
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many, if any, negatives to say about Prefect. My biggest pet-peeve is potentially the scattering of kinda unhelpful views in the UI (though they are flexible, but just give me summary and overviews first please). This has recently been improved with the addition of a "dashboard" view, providing at a glance statuses. Still it isn't perfect, I'm sure they will continue to improve though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Orchestration of data pipelines and data model building.
Prefect: easy to use, great reliability
What do you like best about the product?
Pure python (the most likely known language for analyst), full range of technical possibilities (concurrency, retries, logs, notifications), easy to set up on Windows (no docker/linux necessary), very usefull API to communicate with server, no disadvantages in comparison to Airflow found
What do you dislike about the product?
No button to "select all" after filtration (for delete action for example), no possibility to create authentication on server when using own server on linux + nginx
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Downloading data from API, then transforming it, then uploading to database
Regular sending telegram-bot notifications
Regular updating excel reports on shared disk space
Parallel launch PyTorch neural deep learning on single GPU (took 5 times less time to learn)

Prefect is easy to run in local
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you have a nice cloud and that you can run prefect easily in a local machine without too much confguration. The experience is awesome
What do you dislike about the product?
To run it in another place like aws or gcp it is still not so too easy. But in github actions you could deploy it nicely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
run jobs in a batch window, keep my secrets in a safe environment, connect to other services like API securely and easily, see the logs of all my flows executed.
Increased Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use and the graph indicating which flows ran or failed is helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't include data checks indicating where the fail specifically happened.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prefect is helping to automatically refresh our data tables and that helps to allow better work flow.
Great Orchestration Tool + Great Community + Great Reliability
What do you like best about the product?
We love how easy Prefect is to use with Python, and the accompnying APIs are great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more support in some of the sub repos for Prefect, it's been difficult to get some PRs approved as maintainers are very busy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need Orchestration for our Data Pipelines and Prefect has done a great job with that.
