Many Built-in Tools and Detailed Documentation and Learning Opportunities
What do you like best about the product?
Confluent provides many standard solutions to accelerate the time to market and development of proofs of concepts. These tools include connectors to commonly used software and easy-to-understand documentation on developing commonly used data streams using KSQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say I liked Confluent's approach to partner enablement learning. I had a previous Confluent training account that couldn't be used for partner enablement learning since my company is a Confluent partner. The workaround is logging into the partner portal and then going to the training account; if you try to go to the training account, it won't recognize the partner credentials. A minor annoyance that doesn't severely inhibit learning Confluent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streaming data for real-time insight into the client's traditionally static, batch-based architecture. Confluent allows for creating a central nervous system of data for the entire enterprise, eliminating isolated data silhos.
Best managed kafka service for any scale
What do you like best about the product?
- Confluent cloud-managed Kafka service is the best in the industry. We have been using their managed Kafka service for more than 4 years now
- It abstracts the complexity of managing the Kafka clusters and helps us focus on building business applications rather than managing the infrastructure.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are no downsides I can think of. If you are an enterprise customer and need a reliable Kafka infrastructure without the overhead of maintaining one yourself, confluent cloud is the go to solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Confluent kafka enables us to build real-time data applications without need of maintaining the kafka cluster ourselves.
- This is a huge time saver for application teams as they can focus on building their application than maintaining the cluster itself.
- Since it is managed service, it can be scaled up or scaled down easily
- It is able to handles millions of messages per minute without any performance issues

So far so good
What do you like best about the product?
No need to self manage kafka clusters and kafka connect connectors.
What do you dislike about the product?
No option to whitelist IP addresses with access to kafka cluster
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A way to connect micro services with each other, message processing. Really useful that we can have multiple consumers processing same events.
Confluent Kafka has very much user friendly interface for viewing a topic's data and meta data.
What do you like best about the product?
GUI interface, SQL interaction, meta data showcase, topic information
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much i can think of, yet can be improved in the performance side
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Confluent platform is leading the charge in real time data streaming!
What do you like best about the product?
Confluent Kafka is a fantastic open-source streaming software that lets you build event-driven systems and allows backend systems to communicate with one another. The best thing about Confluent as a platform is that a large community uses it and its support system is like no other. They have excellent documentation on all their products, so all the information you need is available at the tip of your fingers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some downside to the Confluent platform is that some of its products, like Confluent Kafka can be difficult to understand and visualize. However, there are tons of user-created tutorials that are available, and they are fantastic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluent Kafka specifically is helping me connect backend services by taking advantage of their event-driven consumers and producers, and from my experience, they do it better than their competitors at AWS or Apache.
Confluent offers an easy to use interface for managing and operating Kafka Clusters.
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface provides a seamless experience and has lots of rich features and built-in tools to help you debug. I also like the Free tier clusters.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface can become laggy when dealing with lots of environments and clusters in the same tenant. It could be improved by providing a more resilient user interface that does not slow down when rendering large amounts of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confluent is solving our managed serverless problem. We do not want to self-manage our own infrastructure for hosting Kafka/serverless events. Instead, we use Confluent to focus on development instead of operations and maintenance.
Truly Serverless workloads with fully managed Kafka
What do you like best about the product?
Managing the Kafka and maintaining the underline infra is not an issue anymore, No more issues that are on our heads with proper Fault Tolerant Brokers and Kafka-Connect with Fully manged setup is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not find much of cons here, Its an amazing fully managed Service
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Less headaches with no more monitoring and no more additional human monitoring involved in managing the Kafka Cluster underline infra i.e Broker, and what fascinated me the most is the Fully Managed KafkaConnect with Confluent itself, with this our Event driven Architecture is much more simpler and very much error prone w.r.t to Operations.
