Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable is its capability to enhance the documentation process, particularly when creating software documentation."
"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."
"The design of the product is extremely well built and it is highly configurable."
"We mostly use the solution's message queues and event-driven architecture."
"The monitoring module is impressive."
"A person with a good IT background and HTML will not have any trouble with Confluent."
"It is also good for knowledge base management."
"One of the best features of Confluent is that it's very easy to search and have a live status with Jira."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."

"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The data lineage is great."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"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 room for improvement in the visualization."
"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."
"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."
"In Confluent, there could be a few more VPN options."
"It could be more user-friendly and centralized. A way to reduce redundancy would be helpful."
"The formatting aspect within the page can be improved and more powerful."

"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
