We were previously using Apache Flume for our data ingestion. Flume was a solid product, but it just did not offer the visual representations and full start-to-end processing that our organization was looking for.

We used other solutions previously, but this is the best one. It was more stable, it is easier to use and it deploys quickly.

We previously used custom code and switched to simplify maintenance and improve our functionality.

We have used similar solutions like Apache Airflow, StreamSets, and others. The ramp-up for NiFi is a lot bigger and you have to spend a lot of time to understand how to use it.
