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."A person with a good IT background and HTML will not have any trouble with Confluent."
"The most valuable feature of Confluent is the wide range of features provided. They're leading the market in this category."
"Implementing Confluent's schema registry has significantly enhanced our organization's data quality assurance."
"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."
"It is also good for knowledge base management."
"Their tech support is amazing; they are very good, both on and off-site."
"With Confluent Cloud we no longer need to handle the infrastructure and the plumbing, which is a concern for Confluent. The other advantage is that all portfolios have access to the data that is being shared."
"One of the best features of Confluent is that it's very easy to search and have a live status with Jira."
"The solution is easy to use."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"Confluence could improve the server version of the solution. However, most companies are going to the cloud."
"The pricing model should include the ability to pick features and be charged for them only."
"They should remove Zookeeper because of security issues."
"It would help if the knowledge based documents in the support portal could be available for public use as well."
"there is room for improvement in the visualization."
"Confluent has a good monitoring tool, but it's not customizable."
"It could have more integration with different platforms."
"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. Confluence could do a better job sharing best practices or a reusable pattern that others have used, especially for companies that can not afford to hire professional services from Confluent."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
