What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for StreamSets?

Hi,

We all know it's really hard to get good pricing and cost information.

Please share what you can so you can help your peers.

I imagine the pricing is moderate because our company is renewing its license, but I'm not sure about the exact price. There are no hidden costs that I have come across.

From what I hear from my team, I believe it's moderately priced because they're happy with the pricing.

There are two editions, Professional and Enterprise, and there is a free trial. We're using the Professional edition and it is competitively priced. I wouldn't say it's cheap or moderate, but it's also not a high price.

We use the free version. It's great for a public, free release. Our stance is that the paid support model is too expensive to get into. They should honestly reevaluate that. We tried to go and get them to look at their licensing and support model and they said they were not interested in reevaluating that in any way.

The pricing is good, but not the best. They have some customized plans you can opt for. It is quite affordable for any organization. Pricing is not a concern, as compared to Informatica and other solutions.

There are different versions of the product. One is the corporate license version, and the other one is the open-source or free version. I have been using the corporate license version, but they have recently launched a new open-source version so that anybody can create an account and use it. The licensing cost varies from customer to customer. I don't have a lot of input on that. It is taken care of by PMO, and they seem fine with its pricing model. It is being used enterprise-wide. They seem to have got a good deal for StreamSets.

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

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.

We are running the community version right now, which can be used free of charge. We were debating whether to move it to the commercial version, but we haven't had the need to, just yet.

For people who are starting out, the simple advice is to first try out the cloud login of StreamSets. It is freely available for everyone these days. StreamSets has released its online practice platform to design and create pipelines. Someone simply needs to go to cloud.login.streamsets.com, which is StreamSets official website. It is there that people who are starting out can log into StreamSets cloud and spin up their StreamSets Data Collector machines. Then, they can choose their execution mode. It is all in a Docker-containerized fashion. You don't need to do anything. You simply need to have your laptop ready and step-by-step instructions are given. You just simply spin up your Data Collector, the execution mode, and then you are ready with the canvas. You can design your pipeline, practice, and test there. So, if you want to evaluate StreamSets in basic mode, you can take a look online. This is the easiest way to evaluate StreamSets. It is a drag-and-drop, UI-based approach with a canvas, where you design the pipeline. It is pretty easy to follow. So, once your team feels confident, then they can purchase the StreamSets add-ons, which will provide them end-to-end solutions and vendor support. The best way is to log into their cloud practice platform and create some pipelines. In my current project, there is a requirement to integrate with Snowflake, but I don't have Snowflake experience. I have not integrated Snowflake with StreamSets yet. I personally love working on StreamSets. It is part of my day-to-day activities. I do a lot of work on StreamSets, so I would rate them pretty well as nine out of 10.

Every tool in the market at the moment has some major gaps, especially for large enterprises. It could be the way that the data or pipeline is secured. At present, StreamSets looks like the market leader and is trying to fill that gap. For anyone going through a proof of concept for various tools, StreamSets is almost at the top. I don't think that they need to look any further. We are working only with API, a relational database management system, and our enterprise warehouses at the moment. We are not using any streaming sort of ingestion at the moment. We are not using Snowflake Transformer yet. It just got released. We are using a traditional Snowflake destination stage because our enterprise is huge. We have our own Snowflake architecture. We load the security in the data into our own databases using the destination stage, not Transformer yet. I would rate the solution as 7.5 out of 10.

Hi, So many products in the market these days for building, deploying & monitoring Data Pipelines for Cloud based analytics.  Currently, I'm assessing Matillion ETL and StreamSets, which appear on par (on the surface). I'm curious what 1st hand experiences folks have. Thanks for the help!
