Cons
"The technical support has slight room for improvement.""The solution's setup process could be more accessible.""They should do a market survey and then make improvements.""Google Cloud Data Flow can improve by having full simple integration with Kafka topics. It's not that complicated, but it could improve a bit. The UI is easy to use but the experience could be better. There are other tools available that do a better job.""When I deploy the product in local errors, a lot of errors pop up which are not always caught. The solution's error logging is bad. It can take a lot of time to debug the errors. It needs to have better logs.""I would like Google Cloud Dataflow to be integrated with IT data flow and other related services to make it easier to use as it is a complex tool.""Google Cloud Dataflow should include a little cost optimization.""The deployment time could also be reduced."

More Google Cloud Dataflow Cons →

"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving.""On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required.""Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications.""The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."
