Simplicity at its Best

  • January 31, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I find it an excellent platform to have Managed Kafka, and the flexibility it offers is amazing. I liked the part of not managing the brokers and zookeepers and maintaining good abstraction while maintaining security features and separation of workloads with different clusters within a single environment. I find it better than others when coming to support, you will potentially get more realistic answers than other cloud-provided managed Kafka.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many cons.
confluent UI could be improved a bit more and ccloud CLI should also offer much more options as in Kafka CLI. Should offer & expose some APIs to monitor the clusters and metrics.
Should offer IaC(terraform) could be game-changing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No more downtimes have been observed when compared to self-managed systems. Support from Confluent for the issues which cannot be easily solved by engineers. Our clients business definitely improved

Great Streaming technology compared to Kinesis

  • January 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We have the freedom of limits like kinesis we are bound. In my opinion, kinesis is very good technology in the market. Great connectivity with other data sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only suggestion is, please have two versions, one is the existing one which confluent cloud is and launch the second one which is fully managed. This will greatly help the newbies in kafka environment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating the data pipelines from mysql to hive, hive then ingesting the data into kafka in serialization format i.e., Avro. At consumer side, we have a kafka connector (JDBC CDC connector) to load to mysql server
Recommendations to others considering the product:
NA

Confluent: a great platform for asynchronous communication and data processing

  • January 07, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like the Apache Kafka broker, the Avro serialization that is well integrated with the confluent schema registry.
The schema registry can spot potential bugs related to malformed data.
I'm using a lot also the Connect framework, allowing to integrate many existing systems without the need to write new code.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that it should be more evident the difference between the open-source Apache Kafka echosystem and the confluent platform. The difference between the two should be more transparent in what is possible to do or not to do without paying a confluent license.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluent allows me to integrate complex systems togheter. It solves the asynchronous communication, backpressure among slow systems, and reprocessing of data pipelines.
