Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Data enrichment is effectively done in stream analytics also checking the values with different functionality like windowing and group by clause is effectively working. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google Based on my experience, streaming / real time / machine learning / AI type of processing and batch processing which needs less transformation are very well suited.
