Centralizes customer data for fast analytics but has struggled with many concurrent data pipelines

Hevo could be improved as we hit limits, particularly when it couldn't keep up with the high number of databases we wanted to sync frequently—ideally updating everything hourly for near real-time analytics rather than a day behind. We found that with many pipelines, performance degraded. After discussing with Hevo engineers, I learned that Hevo is designed for fast individual pipelines, but struggles with many concurrent pipelines. They suggested that consolidating data from fewer pipelines with more fields would perform better, but even that failed when I tested it with a Business Central database that had numerous fields. Hevo does have limits on the number of pipelines it can manage concurrently and on the number of fields in a single pipeline.Additionally, the API was slower to release compared to the user interface and was not feature-complete, which was frustrating. That said, Hevo actively worked on bridging many gaps. Overall, these were significant pain points I encountered.

One issue I observed with StreamSets is that the memory runs out quickly when processing large volumes of data. Because of this memory issue, we have to upgrade our EC2 boxes in the Amazon AWS infrastructure. I had to switch to a new EC2 box, even though the processor was not fully utilized. It would be beneficial if StreamSets addressed any potential memory leak issues to prevent unnecessary upgrades. Additionally, it would be a great enhancement if StreamSets could produce a lineage graph to visualize how the data has passed through the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hevo has positively impacted my organization by ensuring excellent usage of collected data, which is utilized in various workflows, including sales and marketing and customer relationship management, ultimately helping me serve clients better."

"Hevo positively impacted my organization by allowing us to move data quickly and easily, enabling us to focus on our real challenge: performing analytics and reporting out of Snowflake with all customer data centralized despite using various applications."

"StreamSets’ data drift resilience has reduced the time it takes us to fix data drift breakages. For example, in our previous Hadoop scenario, when we were creating the Sqoop-based processes to move data from source to destinations, we were getting the job done. That took approximately an hour to an hour and a half when we did it with Hadoop. However, with the StreamSets, since it works on a data collector-based mechanism, it completes the same process in 15 minutes of time. Therefore, it has saved us around 45 minutes per data pipeline or table that we migrate. Thus, it reduced the data transfer, including the drift part, by 45 minutes."

"StreamSets has definitely helped us in getting the information into our data lake very quickly, in terms of ingestion, and the most important thing is it has helped us from a resourcing point of view because you can easily upskill a BI or ETL resource without any programming knowledge to work with this, which has drastically reduced the time that we are spending on workloads by 60% to 70% as well as reducing the time spent on ingestion by 30%."

"One of the things I like is the data pipelines. They have a very good design. Implementing pipelines is very straightforward. It doesn't require any technical skill."

"StreamSets' reusable assets have helped to reduce workload by 32% to 40%."

"I really appreciate the numerous ready connectors available on both the source and target sides, the support for various media file formats, and the ease of configuring and managing pipelines centrally."

"The most valuable feature is the pipelines because they enable us to pull in and push out data from different sources and to manipulate and clean things up within them."

"In StreamSets, everything is in one place."

"The most valuable would be the GUI platform that I saw. I first saw it at a special session that StreamSets provided towards the end of the summer. I saw the way you set it up and how you have different processes going on with your data. The design experience seemed to be pretty straightforward to me in terms of how you drag and drop these nodes and connect them with arrows."

More StreamSets pros

Cons

"There are areas where Hevo could improve, particularly regarding its cost structure, as the pricing is based on usage and the advanced features can become costly for startups that are not well-established."

"Hevo could be improved as we hit limits, particularly when it couldn't keep up with the high number of databases we wanted to sync frequently—ideally updating everything hourly for near real-time analytics rather than a day behind."

"One issue I observed with StreamSets is that the memory runs out quickly when processing large volumes of data. Because of this memory issue, we have to upgrade our EC2 boxes in the Amazon AWS infrastructure."

"The logging mechanism could be improved. If I am working on a pipeline, then create a job out of it and it is running, it will generate constant logs. So, the logging mechanism could be simplified. Now, it is a bit difficult to understand and filter the logs. It takes some time."

"One area for improvement could be the cloud storage server speed, as we have faced some latency issues here and there."

"There aren't enough hands-on labs, and debugging is also an issue because it takes a lot of time. Logs are not that clear when you are debugging, and you can only select a single source for a pipeline."

"The design experience is the bane of our existence because their documentation is not the best. Even when they update their software, they don't publish the best information on how to update and change your pipeline configuration to make it conform to current best practices. We don't pay for the added support. We use the "freeware version." The user community, as well as the documentation they provide for the standard user, are difficult, at best."

"There are a few things that can be better."

"They need to improve their customer care services. Sometimes it has taken more than 48 hours to resolve an issue. That should be reduced. They are aware of small or generic issues, but not the more technical or deep issues. For those, they require some time, generally 48 to 72 hours to respond. That should be improved."

"If the data processing in StreamSets takes a long time as compared to the previous solution, then we will reconsider why we use StreamSets."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It's not so favorable for small companies."

"I believe the pricing is not equitable."

"The pricing is too fixed. It should be based on how much data you need to process. Some businesses are not so big that they process a lot of data."

"The licensing is expensive, and there are other costs involved too. I know from using the software that you have to buy new features whenever there are new updates, which I don't really like. But initially, it was very good."

"The pricing is affordable for any business."

"The overall cost is very flexible so it is not a burden for our organization... However, the cost should be improved. For small and mid-size organizations it might be a challenge."

"StreamSets Data Collector is open source. One can utilize the StreamSets Data Collector, but the Control Hub is the main repository where all the jobs are present. Everything happens in Control Hub."

"It has a CPU core-based licensing, which works for us and is quite good."
