Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We mostly use the solution's message queues and event-driven architecture.""With Confluent Cloud we no longer need to handle the infrastructure and the plumbing, which is a concern for Confluent. The other advantage is that all portfolios have access to the data that is being shared.""The most valuable feature of Confluent is the wide range of features provided. They're leading the market in this category.""I would rate the scalability of the solution at eight out of ten. We have 20 people who use Confluent in our organization now, and we hope to increase usage in the future.""It is also good for knowledge base management.""Implementing Confluent's schema registry has significantly enhanced our organization's data quality assurance.""The documentation process is fast with the tool.""The monitoring module is impressive."

More Confluent Pros →

"The solution offers very good convenience filtering.""A non-tech person can easily get used to it.""The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces.""The initial setup is straightforward.""Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams.""The solution is easy to use and to start with."

Cons
"Confluence could improve the server version of the solution. However, most companies are going to the cloud.""The Schema Registry service could be improved. I would like a bigger knowledge base of other use cases and more technical forums. It would be good to have more flexible monitoring features added to the next release as well.""It could have more themes. They should also have more reporting-oriented plugins as well. It would be great to have free custom reports that can be dispatched directly from Jira.""There is a limitation when it comes to seamlessly importing Microsoft documents into Confluent pages, which can be inconvenient for users who frequently work with Microsoft Office tools and need to transition their content to Confluent.""It could be improved by including a feature that automatically creates a new topic and puts failed messages.""Areas for improvement include implementing multi-storage support to differentiate between database stores based on data age and optimizing storage costs.""Currently, in the early stages, I see a gap on the security side. If you are using the SaaS version, we would like to get a fuller, more secure solution that can be adopted right out of the box. Confluence could do a better job sharing best practices or a reusable pattern that others have used, especially for companies that can not afford to hire professional services from Confluent.""It would help if the knowledge based documents in the support portal could be available for public use as well."

More Confluent Cons →

"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory.""It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription.""The documentation of the tool could be improved""We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.""Maybe they could make it more user-friendly.""From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Confluent is expensive, I would prefer, Apache Kafka over Confluent because of the high cost of maintenance."
  • "You have to pay additional for one or two features."
  • "The pricing model of Confluent could improve because if you have a classic use case where you're going to use all the features there is no plan to reduce the features. You should be able to pick and choose basic services at a reduced price. The pricing was high for our needs. We should not have to pay for features we do not use."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is low pricing and ten is high pricing, I would rate Confluent's pricing at five. I have not encountered any additional costs."
  • "Confluence's pricing is quite reasonable, with a cost of around $10 per user that decreases as the number of users increases. Additionally, it's worth noting that for teams of up to 10 users, the solution is completely free."
  • "Confluent has a yearly license, which is a bit high because it's on a per-user basis."
  • "It comes with a high cost."
  • "Confluent is highly priced."
  • More Confluent Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
  • "The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
  • "The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Confluent stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its robust enterprise support and its open source option. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews: 

    Ravi B., a solutions architect at a tech services company, writes of the solution, “KSQL is a valuable feature, as is the Kafka Connect framework for connecting to the various source systems where you need not write the code. We get great support from Confluent because we're using the enterprise version and whenever there's a problem, they support us with fine-tuning and finding the root cause.”

    Amit S., an IT consultant, notes, “The biggest benefit is that it is open source. You have the flexibility of opting or not opting for enterprise support, even though the tool itself is open source.” He adds, “The second benefit is it's very modern and built on Java and Scala. You can extend the features very well, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to do so.”

    Coralogix is a stateful streaming data platform that provides real-time insights and long-term trend analysis with no reliance on storage or indexing, solving the monitoring challenges of data growth in large-scale systems.

    Ingest log, metric, and security data from any source for a single, centralized platform to monitor and alert on your applications.
