Confluent has a higher price than MSK. However, it delivers better features for tech stack requirements. For instance, its superior integration capabilities have proven essential, particularly in bridging technologies like microservices written in .NET.

The product is expensive. I rate the product’s pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

It comes with a high cost.

Confluent has a yearly license, which is a bit high because it's on a per-user basis. The solution's cost should be reduced for a small or mid-segment company.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is low pricing and ten is high pricing, I would rate Confluent's pricing at five. I have not encountered any additional costs.

The pricing model of Confluent could improve because if you have a classic use case where you're going to use all the features there is no plan to reduce the features. You should be able to pick and choose basic services at a reduced price. The pricing was high for our needs. We should not have to pay for features we do not use. The pricing model should include the ability to pick features and be charged for them only. The price of the solution is based on the capability and input and output of topics received.

From a costing perspective, there are costing implications. If you go the cloud route, as you scale there will be cost implications on a per hour basis. Confluent Cloud is more expensive, be mindful of that.

The license Confluent is server-based. It depends on the number of services that you are running in the cluster. Confluent is expensive, I would prefer, Apache Kafka over Confluent because of the high cost of maintenance. Large organizations, prefer to use open-sourced solutions because they provide a cost reduction. Apache Kafka is open source and there are many other open-source security tools, which can be used that provide features that Confluent offers.

I don't directly handle the licensing. My license is given to me. Therefore, I don't know the terms of the licensing or the exact costs.

I think Confluent's pricing is very competitive compared to other products on the market. This is especially considering its configurability and extensibility.

What is Streaming Analytics? Streaming analytics, also known as event stream processing (ESP), refers to the analyzing and processing of large volumes of data through the use of continuous queries. Traditionally, data is moved in batches. While batch processing may be an efficient method for handling huge pools of data, it is not suitable for time-sensitive, “in-motion” data that could otherwise be streamed, since that data can expire by the time it is processed.
