"Kafka provides us with a way to store the data used for analytics. That's the big selling point. There's very good log management."
"It's an open-source product, which means it doesn't cost us anything to use it."
"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around areas like the latency part, where the tool offers very little latency and the sequencing part."
"Kafka, as compared with other messaging system options, is great for large scale message processing applications. It offers high throughput with built-in fault-tolerance and replication."
"Kafka is scalable. It can manage a high volume of data from many sources."
"Scalability is very good."
"JBoss is easy to use, and we have a good partner here in Tunisia to provide local support."
"Kafka has a lot of monitors, but sometimes it's most important to just have a simple monitor."
"The repository isn't working very well. It's not user friendly."
"Kafka 2.0 has been released for over a month, and I wanted to try out the new features. However, the configuration is a little bit complicated: Kafka Broker, Kafka Manager, ZooKeeper Servers, etc."
"I suggest using cloud services because the solution is expensive if you are using it on-premises."
"The model where you create the integration or the integration scenario needs improvement."
"In Apache Kafka, it is currently difficult to create a consumer."

"Something that could be improved is having an interface to monitor the consuming rate."
"JBoss could add more automation."
