User Testimonials
	Azure Anomaly Detector	IBM Streams (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Like the name says, it is good for streaming data and analyzing. It is great to look at tuples at a fast rate, filtering, calling other sources to enrich data, can call APIs, etc. Could do better for ingest use cases, can do better with guaranteed delivery, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products IBM Streams is well suited for providing wire-speed real-time end-to-end processing with sub-millisecond latency. Streams is amazingly computationally efficient. In other words, you can typically do much more processing with a given amount of hardware than other technologies. In a recent linear-road benchmark Streams based application was able to provide greater capability than the Hadoop-based implementation using 10x less hardware. So even when latency isn't critical, using Streams might still make sense for reducing operational cost. Streams comes out of the box with a large and comprehensive set of tested and optimized toolkits. Leveraging these toolkits not only reduces the development time and cost but also helps reduce project risk by eliminating the need for custom code which likely has not seen as much time in test or production. In addition to the out of the box toolkits, there is an active developer community contributing additional specialized packages. Incentivized JS Jim Sharpe President Read full review
Cons	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Documentation could be more extensive, with more examples, although overall this is not too bad compared to some of the alternative solutions. Seems expensive to use in production. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products There are well explained tutorials to get the user started. If you are looking for business application ideas, the user community offers a diversity of applications. It is very easy to launch applications on the cloud and can integrate with other analytic tools available on Watson Studio. It takes away the burden of the technology so that users can focus on business innovations. Incentivized TC Tsun Chow Adjunct Professor Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Ability to do more with less Admins and data analyst can now focus on more thinking tasks No negative impacts yet Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
