There is no better product for CDC and streaming on Kafka
The Equalum user interface is extremely easy to use. I would rank it really highly on user-friendliness. The only issue with the user interface is it doesn't supply everything that you need for somebody who has to work with Equalum. For example, when you get deep into development, there are many areas where you have to go to the command line to do things and the Equalum user interface does not have that functionality. The deployment of their flows needs improvement. It doesn't work with a typical Git branching and CI/CD deployment strategy. If you have multiple projects, all working in one Equalum environment, separating out their work is something that you have to design into your implementation, as opposed to baked into the product.
Victor Crudu - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable and scalable solution with customization features
Introducing something new can be expensive, and they'll likely continue using the existing tool. There's no need to spend money implementing a new solution, even if it could improve things. I see more challenges on the client side than with Skyvia itself. The client is a large company and wanted a lot of customization, which naturally requires time. It's not that Skyvia is limiting me; it allows me to make the necessary changes. The issue is that the client’s requirements keep changing—one day, they want something done one way, and the next day, they want it differently. Three people are doing the maintenance. Overall, I rate the solution as nine out of ten.
