    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Confluent has great documentation and developer advocacy resources. I learned Kafka and Kafka Streams almost exclusively using Confluent resources.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I did not use Confluent tooling deeply or long enough to find downsides.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Not a business problem, but helped me implement an event-stream processor using Kafka Streams. The streaming portion of the work was abstracted so I could focus on the algorithmic gist of my project.

    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    With Kafka topics, it is possible to easily set up a pub/sub pattern and provide producers and consumers with complete end-to-end visibility using Confluent Center. Simple to scale through the addition of brokers and "no downtime" software update/patch deployments.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Confluent has nothing that I don't like. Instead, they are focusing on improving the data flow from the CDC.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Our architecture is being redefined using event-driven microservices and stream processing pipelines, with Kafka serving as the only source of truth. Since our team's developers still need to go through a specific learning curve and paradigm shift, productivity is still lacking.

    What do you like best about the product?
    Confluent made our event processing butter smooth. Millions of events fired and all got processed without breaking any sweat. Installation, configuration & integrations with relational database was cherry on top. As an administrator and developer, the documentation was so easy and relatable that we actually spend less time than we anticipated.
