It is of great help for unstructured data sources. The way Hevo Data flattens the high nested data is amazing. Schema management is also good by Hevo Data. The way it's tell about the data type and then we can identify any error in the model. Additionally, It is very easy to setup for any new user and once model is created then we do not have to worry about the script maintenance and updating the script daily.

IBM StreamSets excels in real-time logistics data ingestion and transformation across hybrid systems. It’s less ideal for lightweight ETL tasks or static datasets where simpler tools can achieve similar results with less overhead and complexity.

  • We also use IBM StreamSets to power few BI dashboards that our product managers use on regular basis to showcase various data with clients.
  • I think the data quality is way better compared to Informatica tool.

  • Support - their support teams try to be helpful, but often miss the mark
  • Error logging - we've run into a few issues debugging errors and limited support is provided by Hevo

  • The error messages I feel aren t always very descriptive so troubleshooting can take longer
  • Maybe more customisation options for scheduling can be done, rest it works pretty well.

IBM Stream sets has been a wonderful addition to our technology stack. It has helped in some of our initiatives such as data engineering, data integration for not only external customers but also for internal purposes. The tool has also helped on our use cases related to streaming data. Moving to another tool would require significant amount of work and time.

The StreamSets platform is very easy to use and the interface is extremely intuitive. The drag-and-drop, low-code design makes it accessible for teams with varying technical skills, allowing us to quickly connect sources, define transformations, and deploy pipelines without heavy coding. StreamSets allows us to get started quickly and not have to worry about our pipelines breaking once they're built.

Streamsets support has improved a lot in the last couple of years. We had some challenges in the beginning with support, but now the quality of the support and the responsiveness to tickets are better. We have contacted support multiple times when it came to scenarios where the system was slow or the output as not as we expected

First advantage is that this software is particularly new and it keeps updating according to the needs of the user. Other advantage is the it organises and produces conclusions on the basis of data without leaving any relevant information. Other softwares lack in data summarising and readability of the charts and sheets they produce.
