Featured Reviews

Gustavo-Barbosa Dos Santos - PeerSpot reviewer
Has good technical support services and a valuable feature for real-time data streaming
Implementing Confluent's schema registry has significantly enhanced our organization's data quality assurance. It helps us understand the various requirements of multiple customers and validates the information for different versions. We can automate the tasks using Confluent Kafka. Thus, it guarantees us the data quality and maintains the integrity of message contracts.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The benefit is escaping email communication. Sometimes people ignore emails or put them into spam, but with Confluence, everyone sees the same text at the same time."
"The most valuable is its capability to enhance the documentation process, particularly when creating software documentation."
"We mostly use the solution's message queues and event-driven architecture."
"We ensure seamless management of Kafka through Confluent, allowing all of our Kafka activities to be handled by a third party."
"The design of the product is extremely well built and it is highly configurable."
"The client APIs are the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The solution can handle a high volume of data because it works and scales well."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
 

Cons

"It could be improved by including a feature that automatically creates a new topic and puts failed messages."
"Confluence could improve the server version of the solution. However, most companies are going to the cloud."
"there is room for improvement in the visualization."
"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."
"We continuously face issues, such as Kafka being down and slow responses from the support team."
"It would help if the knowledge based documents in the support portal could be available for public use as well."
"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."
"Confluent's price needs improvement."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 an expensive solution as we went for a three contract and it was very costly for us."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is cheaper than other products."
"Confluent is highly priced."
"You have to pay additional for one or two features."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
