Cons
"The product's schema support needs enhancement.

They are still lagging behind Confluence.""It would be really helpful if Amazon MSK could provide a single installation that covers all the servers.""The configuration seems a little complex and the documentation on the product is not available.""It does not autoscale. Because if you do keep it manually when you add a note to the cluster and then you register it, then it is scalable, but the fact that you have to go and do it, I think, makes it, again, a bit of some operational overhead when managing the cluster.""It should be more flexible, integration-wise."
