We performed a comparison between JumpMind SymmetricDS and StreamSets based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Fivetran, Dell Technologies and others in Data Replication."It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"The entire user interface is very simple and the simplicity of creating pipelines is something that I like very much about it. The design experience is very smooth."
"The ability to have a good bifurcation rate and fewer mistakes is valuable."
"The best thing about StreamSets is its plugins, which are very useful and work well with almost every data source. It's also easy to use, especially if you're comfortable with SQL. You can customize it to do what you need. Many other tools have started to use features similar to those introduced by StreamSets, like automated workflows that are easy to set up."
"One of the things I like is the data pipelines. They have a very good design. Implementing pipelines is very straightforward. It doesn't require any technical skill."
"The scheduling within the data engineering pipeline is very much appreciated, and it has a wide range of connectors for connecting to any data sources like SQL Server, AWS, Azure, etc. We have used it with Kafka, Hadoop, and Azure Data Factory Datasets. Connecting to these systems with StreamSets is very easy."
"It is really easy to set up and the interface is easy to use."
"In StreamSets, everything is in one place."
"What I love the most is that StreamSets is very light. It's a containerized application. It's easy to use with Docker. If you are a large organization, it's very easy to use Kubernetes."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"We've seen a couple of cases where it appears to have a memory leak or a similar problem."
"They need to improve their customer care services. Sometimes it has taken more than 48 hours to resolve an issue. That should be reduced. They are aware of small or generic issues, but not the more technical or deep issues. For those, they require some time, generally 48 to 72 hours to respond. That should be improved."
"One thing that I would like to add is the ability to manually enter data. The way the solution currently works is we don't have the option to manually change the data at any point in time. Being able to do that will allow us to do everything that we want to do with our data. Sometimes, we need to manually manipulate the data to make it more accurate in case our prior bifurcation filters are not good. If we have the option to manually enter the data or make the exact iterations on the data set, that would be a good thing."
"The software is very good overall. Areas for improvement are the error logging and the version history. I would like to see better, more detailed error logging information."
"The logging mechanism could be improved. If I am working on a pipeline, then create a job out of it and it is running, it will generate constant logs. So, the logging mechanism could be simplified. Now, it is a bit difficult to understand and filter the logs. It takes some time."
"The data collector in StreamSets has to be designed properly. For example, a simple database configuration with MySQL DB requires the MySQL Connector to be installed."
"The monitoring visualization is not that user-friendly. It should include other features to visualize things, like how many records were streamed from a source to a destination on a particular date."
"I would like to see it integrate with other kinds of platforms, other than Java. We're going to have a lot of applications using .NET and other languages or frameworks. StreamSets is very helpful for the old Java platform but it's hard to integrate with the other platforms and frameworks."
JumpMind SymmetricDS is ranked 13th in Data Replication while StreamSets is ranked 8th in Data Integration with 24 reviews. JumpMind SymmetricDS is rated 9.0, while StreamSets is rated 8.4. The top reviewer of JumpMind SymmetricDS writes "Excellent change data capture utility for distributed multi site environment". On the other hand, the top reviewer of StreamSets writes "We no longer need to hire highly skilled data engineers to create and monitor data pipelines". JumpMind SymmetricDS is most compared with Oracle GoldenGate, AWS Database Migration Service, Confluent, SSIS and EDB Postgres Replication Server, whereas StreamSets is most compared with Fivetran, Azure Data Factory, Informatica PowerCenter, SSIS and IBM InfoSphere DataStage.
We monitor all Data Replication reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
