Excellent Data Integration and Productivity, But Pricey and Requires Training
What do you like best about the product?
I love this platform for its data integration capabilities. It reduces efforts so much and increases productivity. Its faster development is really useful for users. The availability of ready made connectors makes work really easier and faster. This platform makes the team co ordinate as well as work faster with better efficiency and effectiveness.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love most parts of this platform but i just wish that price was a little bit low. To be an expert in using this platform, a person will need training and sufficient time to learn before reaching the peak potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It improves productivity and efficiency with its organized tools and dashboards to monitor the pipelines effectively.
IBM Steamset review by me
What do you like best about the product?
user-friendly, visual, low-code/no-code interface that simplifies data pipeline creation with a drag-and-drop approach

i couldnt think any reason to dislike it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM StreamSets helps solve the problem of moving and handling large amounts of data quickly and easily, without lots of manual work or complicated coding—making it simple to connect different systems and get real-time information when it’s needed most. This means data is always fresh and useful, which leads to better decisions, smoother operations, and less stress about outdated or messy data
I liked the low code and data integration that works with automatic schema handling.
What do you like best about the product?
1. Works well in real-time and batches
2. Low code visual UI
3. Easier deployment
4. Probably work well with IBM ecosystem. But not tried yet.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Enterprise grade costing would be tricky.
2. Though simple features are easier to learn but advanced ones are complex and time taking whole learning.
3. Overall limited community of IBM ecosystem I'm compare to competitors

It’s helping me solve day to day activities which needed manual attention
Workflow simplification at peak
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup and use compared to kafka and stuff like this helps make the workflow quicker as there's less maintenance required to run this. The uptime gaurantee's also help alot in peaceful sleep.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific i have encountered till now as everything currently works as expected
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps manage streaming pipelines easily
Streamlining Data Pipelines with ease
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how user friendly IBM StreamSets is, especially the drag and drop interface for designing data pipelines. It makes the process much easier without needing to write complex code. The platform supports both real-time and batch processing, and it has a wide range of connectors, which helped me integrate different data sources without much hassle. I also appreciated the built-in monitoring tools that helped me keep an eye on data flows and troubleshoot issues quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside I experienced was performance lag when handling large volumes of data it wasn’t always as fast as I needed. The error logs were sometimes difficult to interpret, especially for more complex issues. Also, while basic tasks were easy to manage, getting into advanced configurations took more time than I expected, and the documentation didn’t always provide clear guidance. Support response times could also be slow when I needed urgent help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM StreamSets is solving the challenge of building and managing complex ETL workflows in a fast-changing data environment. It helps me extract data from various sources, transform it on the fly, and load it into target systems all while handling schema changes and data drift automatically. This has been a huge benefit for me because I no longer have to manually adjust pipelines when source formats change. It also supports real-time stream analytics, so I can process and analyze data as it flows in, which improves decision making speed and keeps my data infrastructure responsive and up to date.
streaming data pipelines through GUI is great
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it makes easy in the use-cases of AI, where you can do the continuous training process.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't fee that there are any such. Have to use in-order to know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Training AI models.
Efficient Data Pipeline Tool with Some Limitations
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing is how simple it is to use. You don’t need to write much code and the drag and drop makes things fast. It connects to lots of sources which is helpful. Also the monitoring tools are good and helps when things go wrong.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get slow when dealing with big amount of data or when you add many steps. The docs are sometimes confusing or missing stuff. Support takes time to respond sometimes and the price is a bit much for smaller teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to move and process data between different systems without building everything from scratch. StreamSets made it easier to connect data sources and automate the flows. It saves us a lot of time and helps catch issues early with built-in alerts, so we don’t have to monitor everything manually all the time. It also helps to scale things easier when data volume grows.
Enables effective batch loading with visual interface and enterprise support
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
StreamSets is GUI-based and takes care of load balancing. It allows a hybrid installation approach, rather than being completely cloud-based or on-premises. Additionally, StreamSets provides good enterprise support with a quick turnaround.
What needs improvement?
One issue I observed with StreamSets is that the memory runs out quickly when processing large volumes of data. Because of this memory issue, we have to upgrade our EC2 boxes in the Amazon AWS infrastructure. I had to switch to a new EC2 box, even though the processor was not fully utilized. It would be beneficial if StreamSets addressed any potential memory leak issues to prevent unnecessary upgrades. Additionally, it would be a great enhancement if StreamSets could produce a lineage graph to visualize how the data has passed through the system.
For how long have I used the solution?
I started using StreamSets in 2022, so it's been almost four years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
From one to ten, I would rate the stability of the product at eight point five.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
For scalability, I would also rate it at eight point five.
How are customer service and support?
IBM technical support sometimes transfers tickets between different teams due to shift changes, which can be frustrating. The transition can make resolution slow, as I have to explain the issue multiple times. Overall, I would rate the technical support as eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of StreamSets isn't simple, but it's not too complex either. It’s a standard setup and is fine.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
StreamSets is the leader in the market. There are many products, and the choice depends on needed features and use cases, but I view StreamSets as the leader due to its capabilities.
What other advice do I have?
If asked, I definitely recommend StreamSets to other users. My overall rating for the solution is nine.
