Easy to Use with Seamless Kafka Integration
Reviewed on May 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I find Redpanda Streaming easy to use with its user-friendly UI. I really appreciate its Kafka compatibility, which allows for seamless integration with Kafka tools and connections. This compatibility is a key feature for me as it enhances the functionality and connectivity of my backend systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the price of bandwidth on BYOC when staying in the same zone. I'd prefer it to be free because it's free on GCP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Redpanda Streaming to address ordering, scaling, and reliability issues in data streaming for our backend.

High-Performance Streaming with Excellent Support
Reviewed on May 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate that Redpanda Streaming is fully Kafka compatible, making it easier to deploy and achieve high performance. The responsive support is a big plus, and I enjoy the nice UI. It's also a boon that Redpanda's performance and reliability are a lot better compared to the previous system we used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support for Go clients leaves something to be desired, as the franz-go client often has trouble during leadership changes and coordinator transfers, causing clients to be stuck or lag. It's hard to determine if this is due to a Redpanda bug or a client-side issue. Additionally, the pricing model recently changed for the worse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Redpanda Streaming for low-latency, async communication between services, with high availability and Kubernetes-friendly deployment, which solves our need for efficient data streaming like trade execution and ledger bookings internally.

Excellent Support and BYOC Help Us Scale Stress-Free
Reviewed on May 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
BYOC, along with the excellent support, is helping us scale our systems stress-free.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t see any real downsides, but you do need to bring your own operational expertise around Kafka. As with any solution, without that experience it’s easy to architect yourself into something painfully inadequate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can move much faster by using streaming data and the contracts we define in the schema registry. With Confluent, every solution became painfully expensive over time as we grew. But now with RedPanda and BYOC we know we can trust the economics of our design to grow comfortably alongside us.

Cost effective, flexible solution for Kafka users
Reviewed on Apr 30, 2024
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Redpanda has been a powerful part of our infrastructure, it enables us to have the scalability and reliability that we need while being low touch around administration and maintenance. The Redpanda team has done as excellent job delivering a high quality product, as well as providing excellent support, guidance and continuous product and service improvements. BYOC has provided us the flexibility of running their managed service on our account, which combined with a very efficient Kafka platform, and their tooling and support, means we can focus our time and money on delivering even more value to our customers, while still having the flexibility of an onsite solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you're a Confluent or Open Source Kafka user, there will be some differences to adjust to with regards to running it yourself, as the underlying implementation is not the same, but I think overall an improvement for users in terms of management and configuration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides the backbone pipeline for our processing flows and connecting our various pieces of infrastructure together.

Scalability, Usability, Stability - Pick all
Reviewed on Apr 29, 2024
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Red Panda is substantlially easier to get up and running than a traditional Kafka queueing solution; while it's also more scalable and performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, nothing really. The team has been extremely helpful, the application was trivial to deploy, and we've had few if any issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a highly available, highly scalable real-time throughput persistence solution. Red Pandas offers this to us in spades.
