    If you have a need to stream data, real time or segmented structured data then Confluent is a great platform to do so with. You won't run into packet transfer size limitations that other platforms have. Flexibility in on-prem, cloud, and managed cloud offerings makes it very flexible no matter how you choose to implement.

    Cons
    Cloudera
    • Not fully Open Source, couple of components of the distributions are privately owned, meaning with public contributions are not welcome
    • Improvements to Cloudera manager can only be recommended. its very hard to get it done once recommended as the full control is with them.
    • Should make components more aligned to Open Source rather than making it closed sourced.
    • Custom Features of open source software tools supported only by Cloudera are tricky. Cant commit changes to tools like Hue.
    • Improvements to Cluster Management tool is required, which are already available to its competitors.

    Likelihood to Renew
    Cloudera
    Likely to renew the use in case the requirements for Cloudera remain valid. The rapid change in customer requirements and solutions that must be validated, integrated or tested changes. As the maturity of the solution increases, the requirements to renew use decrease. From a solution feature perspective by itself would probably grade 10.

    The support from the Confluent platform is great and satisfying. We have been working with Confluent for more than a year now. They sent out resident architects to help us set up Confluent cluster on our cloud and help us troubleshoot problems we have encountered. Overall, it has been a great experience working with the Confluent Platform.

    For our use case it was very important that the technology we were working with fit into our Azure architecture, and met our data processing size requirements to stream data within certain SLAs. Confluent more than met our performance requirements and compared to the others scale options and cost to run it was more than financially viable as a platform solution to our global operations.

    Return on Investment
    Cloudera
    • Cloudera products are the most widely. It is more business friendly as data is more secure. The sensitive data that you operate on is local to you and your project rather than processing this data on Cloud.
    • Cloudera is definitely faster as wait time is reduced if on Cloud.
    • A lot range of products are covered. So it is definitely good for businesses and had good returns on investments.
