Delightful when it comes to cluster management, not as much when it comes to connectors
What do you like best about the product?
Let's start with the good stuff - their cluster management is top-notch! I was impressed by how smooth and efficient it was to manage data streams and workflows. The user interface is intuitive, making it a breeze to set up and navigate through everything.

However, I must admit that I had some struggles with their connectors. It wasn't as straightforward as I had hoped, and I encountered a few hiccups along the way. I wish the process was a bit more streamlined and easier to grasp.
Despite the connector challenges, the overall experience with Confluent has been positive. They truly excel in cluster management, and their customer support was quick to help me whenever I hit a roadblock.
