Confluent Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
AVP - Sr Middleware Messaging Integration Engineer at Wells Fargo4.0I've used Confluent for seven years, mainly for log aggregation and streaming, benefiting from features like Multi-Region Clusters and connectors, though I believe cost, topic hierarchy, and delivery semantics need improvement to stay competitive.
Senior Project Manager & Agile Coach at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees3.5I've used Confluent for over a decade; it's stable and useful for software documentation and collaboration, but it lacks modern formatting and integration features, making tools like Word and SharePoint more appealing for today's project needs.
SDE II at Nutanix3.0We use Confluent to manage Kafka across all teams, benefiting from streamlined messaging tasks. However, we experience frequent issues with downtime, slow support responses, and difficult access to support, making it challenging compared to a homegrown solution.
Software Architect at C&A Brasil4.5We use Confluent for data storage and governance, benefiting from its real-time data streaming capabilities. While the price could be improved, it currently saves us money. We previously used AWS MSK and considered other solutions like HubSpot.
Principle Product Manager at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees4.0I use Confluent for software development, testing, and documentation, which integrates well with Jira for workflow management. It enhances documentation with diagram tools, but access management, especially for external sharing, and Microsoft integration need improvement.
Territory Sales Leader at Sumerge4.0I use Confluent for data pipelines and appreciate its powerful monitoring module and extensive connectors. However, the professional services team needs improvement, especially with local support in Saudi Arabia, and it's incompatible with IBM Power, causing issues.
IT Project Manager at KBIN4.0We use Confluent for sharing information through spaces, beneficial for developer support. Valuable features include troubleshooting access control and Jira integration. Improvements could include more guidance for setup and enhanced project management tools.
Freelancer at Freelance3.5I use Confluent for data integration because its client APIs are very valuable, though it lacks some application-specific connectors that need to be added. I have not used or considered other solutions, and there's no ROI or cloud provider information available.
