We performed a comparison between Apache Kafka on Confluent Cloud and Saturn Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two AWS Marketplace solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In case of huge transactions on the web or mobile apps, it helps you capture real-time data and analyze it."
"I use it for real-time processing workloads. So, in some instances, it's like IoT data. We need to put it into a data lake."
"Kafka and Confluent Cloud have proven to be cost-effective, especially when compared to other tools. In a recent BI integration program over the past year, we assessed multiple use cases spanning ship-to-shore and various Azure integrations. Our findings revealed that Confluent Kafka performed exceptionally well, standing out alongside Genesys and Azure Event Hubs. While these three are top contenders, the choice among other tools depends on the specific use case and project requirements. The customer initially used tools like SMQs, FITRA, and Stream for real-time data processing. However, after our recommendation, Confluent Cloud proved to be a superior choice, capable of replacing these three tools and simplifying their data infrastructure. This shift to a single tool, Confluent Cloud, streamlined their operations, making maintenance and management more efficient for their internal projects."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"For the original Kafka, there is room for improvement in terms of latency spikes and resource consumption. It consumes a lot of memory."
"There could be an in-built feature for data analysis."
"Regarding real-time data usage, there were challenges with CDC (Change Data Capture) integrations. Specifically, with PyTRAN, we encountered difficulties. We recommended using our on-premises Kaspersky as an alternative to PyTRAN for that specific use case due to issues with CDC store configuration and log reading challenges with the iton components."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
