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 solution can handle a high volume of data because it works and scales well."
"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."
"Implementing Confluent's schema registry has significantly enhanced our organization's data quality assurance."
"It is also good for knowledge base management."
"Confluence's greatest asset is its user-friendly interface, coupled with its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with a vast range of other solutions."
"I would rate the scalability of the solution at eight out of ten. We have 20 people who use Confluent in our organization now, and we hope to increase usage in the future."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"It could have more integration with different platforms."
"Confluent's price needs improvement."
"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."
"Confluent has a good monitoring tool, but it's not customizable."
"It could have more themes. They should also have more reporting-oriented plugins as well. It would be great to have free custom reports that can be dispatched directly from Jira."
"Areas for improvement include implementing multi-storage support to differentiate between database stores based on data age and optimizing storage costs."
"The Schema Registry service could be improved. I would like a bigger knowledge base of other use cases and more technical forums. It would be good to have more flexible monitoring features added to the next release as well."
"There is a limitation when it comes to seamlessly importing Microsoft documents into Confluent pages, which can be inconvenient for users who frequently work with Microsoft Office tools and need to transition their content to Confluent."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
