Find out in this report how the two Streaming Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature that we are using is the data replication between the data centers allowing us to configure a disaster recovery or software. However, is it's not mandatory to use and because most of the features that we use are from Apache Kafka, such as end-to-end encryption. Internally, we can develop our own kind of product or service from Apache Kafka."
"The most valuable is its capability to enhance the documentation process, particularly when creating software documentation."
"Kafka Connect framework is valuable for connecting to the various source systems where code doesn't need to be written."
"We mostly use the solution's message queues and event-driven architecture."
"One of the best features of Confluent is that it's very easy to search and have a live status with Jira."
"Confluence's greatest asset is its user-friendly interface, coupled with its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with a vast range of other solutions."
"It is also good for knowledge base management."
"The most valuable feature of Confluent is the wide range of features provided. They're leading the market in this category."

"Currently, in the early stages, I see a gap on the security side. If you are using the SaaS version, we would like to get a fuller, more secure solution that can be adopted right out of the box.

"Confluent has a good monitoring tool, but it's not customizable."
"In Confluent, there could be a few more VPN options."

"The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement."
"It needs easier security."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
