Cost effective, flexible solution for Kafka users

  • April 30, 2024
  • Review verified 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

  • April 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.

Quality software delivered by a quality team

  • April 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redpanda's team and their product have been nothing but a positive experience for our company. Our Redpanda BYOC cluster is on the frontline keeping mission critical systems up and running reliably. Throughout the entire time we have been running the cluster multiple team members have exclaimed how critical and stress relieving it has been to have Redpanda in our stack. Redpanda has simultaneously kept our systems running while also allowing us to speed up development on downstream systems. Alongside this we have had nothing but a positive experience with the Redpanda team. From the original POC and purchasing process all the way through the support relationship Redpanda has felt like they are another team inside our own company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occassionally, the console ui has some less than great feature implementations however, the team is always quick to fix any issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Redpanda to broker all of our billable events occurring at the company and processing them out to multiple downstream services and analytics stores.

Kafka as it Should be

  • April 24, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Kafka-compatible in an easier to consume, faster and cheaper package. Great company to work with and delivers
What do you dislike about the product?
Redpanda are still adding features but also remaining innovative
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streaming is at the heart of complex systems and for Fintechs this capability is critical yet also complex to implement, scale and manage.
Redpanda provides the heart of our streaming solutions - and as cloud hosted service removes much of the implementations and operational overhead.
Redpanda have taken the opportunity to learn from the open source project with a simpler and more scalable approach yet with kafka compatibility that support and integration into the wider kafka ecosytem

Game changer.

  • April 18, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redpanda has revolutionized our use of Kafka, enhancing everything from deployment simplicity to WASM transformations, and significantly boosting speed! After nearly a decade of Kafka in production and numerous outages, Redpanda has proven to be a remarkable replacement—truly a game changer.

Features like WASM transform are essential for harnessing its full potential and replacing outdated custom software that many of us still use today for that aspect.

The cloud version is the icing on the cake. It eliminates excessive billing and alleviates GDPR concerns for Europe, as everything operates on our cloud, under our security, exactly where we want it. The support has been phenomenal too; despite occasional bugs, the team addresses issues incredibly quickly.

Redpanda has fundamentally changed how we work, resolving many persistent issues we faced with Kafka. It's the dawn of a new era.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing for now really. Maybe the Kafka client that could be replaced at some point by a dedicated protocol.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our entire data-pipeline is running via Redpanda. From analytics to event processing.

Amazing Product and ever more amazing people!

  • April 10, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- > Easy to Setup and Use
- > True partners, than just another vendor - great support for custom design/ use-cases etc.
-> BYOC option
-> Great UI
-> Get a real-time platform setup and ready in almost no time.
-> Easy to integrate with other services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Been with the product and people for quite some time now and have seen the product evolve quite a lot with so much good improvements and add-ons.
A few missing pieces (which I believe are in the pipeline) are around programmatic ACL/Topic setup : something like a CRD so its easy to integrate and manage it into a CI/CD pipeline than do it manually on UI...but I am hopeful, this will come soon!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides us with a streaming platform - easy to integrate and manage..to allow us to build important capabilities such as ML based Real time Fraud Engine etc.

Rock Solid Technology with World Class Support

  • April 09, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We're using RedPanda to build our reactive event-firehose for our upcoming video games. I've used Apache Kafka since it was open-sourced, and believe me when I tell you, there is no better version of the Kafka protocol on the market. The technology is rock solid from both a stability and performance aspect. I have the upmost respect for their engineering team at RedPanda. They absolutely obsess over the lowest level implementation detail, as opposed to "Just get it working". Performance to them is measured in the microseconds, not milliseconds. Their attention to detail gives me the confidence that our data isn't just going to get to its destination fast, but it will get there safely.

Their tooling (even for open source) makes our engineers far more productive than if they were using Apache Kafka. It's easy for our engineers to get a local RedPanda running to both try and implement new ideas. Finally, all of our existing tools work with RedPanda (Kafka) out-of-the-box without any sort of makeshift changes.

The support team at RedPanda have been oustanding at every step of our journey. There is no better team equipped to get you to where you need to go.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having leveraged RedPanda and their team for the past year, and their technology since it was first open-source, I can confidently say there's very little to nothing left on the table of desire.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RedPanda is being used to build our self-service data analytics platform to empower our engineers to build better and more meaningful games.

Streamlining Data Management with Ease and Speed

  • April 09, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redpanda is very easy use, making data management a cinch. Its intuitive interface guides you through tasks effortlessly, whether you're importing, analyzing, or visualizing data. Migration from any other competitor is very straight forward and redpanda team is always there to help you and guide with any requests you may have.

What sets this app apart is its robust functionality. It offers a range of tools for data cleansing, transformation, advanced analytics, and visualization, all in one place.

Security is a top priority with built-in encryption and access controls, ensuring your data stays safe. Plus, the app grows with your needs, making it suitable for businesses of all sizes.

In summary, the RedPanda simplifies data management without compromising on security or functionality. It's a must-have for anyone looking to make sense of their data quickly and easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few drawbacks worth mentioning. Firstly, the absence of kSQL functionality limits users who rely on this specific query language for data manipulation. However it is acheivable by hosting your own kSQL cluster.
Additionally, while the app boasts strong security features, there is room for improvement in user management and access control, which could enhance the overall security posture.

Furthermore, while the user interface is generally intuitive, some users may find it occasionally lags, particularly when handling large datasets. While this lag is not a significant issue, it may detract from the overall user experience for some individuals who prefer a more seamless and modern interface.

Solid product with great and efficient support

  • April 02, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Red Panda has been our choice when we wanted to migrate our data pipeline to a stream-oriented approach, and since then, we've been very happy with the choice.
The support team is great and guides you through every step during the integration, and being able to deploy it in our cloud infrastructure /BYOC) was also a critical feature for us.

To sum it up: Great product, great support!
What do you dislike about the product?
The web interface sometimes falls a bit short, and you have to do the more complex stuff via the CLI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Panda is the backbone of our event-oriented data pipeline.
It hhelped us migrate our stack from a batch-oriented architecture to an event-oriented architecture.
