Apache NiFi Reviews

The most valuable feature has been the range of clients and the range of connectors that we could use. The processing ability of the solution is also really good because it allows high volumes of data to flow in real time. 

Overall, this solution is reliable. 

The overall stability of this solution could be improved. In a future release, we would like to have access to more features that could be used in a parallel way. This would provide more freedom with processing. 

I have been using this solution for one year. 

This is a stable solution although the stability can depend on the process selection and how well we apply for it. 

I have not needed to contact their customer service and support. 

The initial setup is not very complex.

We use the free version of Apache NiFi.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It is really good when it comes to dealing with pipelines.

Visually, this is a good product.

The challenge with Apache NiFi is that it's not cloud-native. This makes it different from our workflow.

The operations are over-complicated and when you build your pipeline, it's a nightmare to follow them. Then, as your pipeline or workflow becomes more complex, the operation of it gets worse. It is not easy to use and it requires a bigger ramp-up than any other solution that we have seen.

We have been using Apache NiFi for between five and six years.

This is a very solid product.

Scaling this product means using a bigger and more powerful machine. If it were cloud-native then it would be different.

We have used similar solutions like Apache Airflow, StreamSets, and others. The ramp-up for NiFi is a lot bigger and you have to spend a lot of time to understand how to use it.

There are some claims that NiFi is cloud-native but we have tested it, and it's not.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
