User Testimonials
	Cloudera Manager	Confluent
Likelihood to Recommend	Cloudera It would be suited for customers who feel more comfortable with using a GUI. It is less appropriate for developers or engineers who are comfortable with command line Incentivized Ethan Tran Senior Systems Engineer Read full review	Confluent 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.

Pros	Cloudera Graphical user interface Management of third party applications start/stop/restart functionality through framework Support of Apache Hadoop ecosystem Ability to do "rolling restarts" Incentivized Charles Inglese Senior System Engineer Read full review	Confluent Products work great. Training is available. Customer support is good. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Cloudera Cloudera Manager needs to be more agile with integrating other applications, such as Accumulo 1.7, to their software. Cloudera Manager can do a better job at explaining why a node fails to add to a cluster using their assistant. Cloudera Manager should show graphs only when there is data, instead of showing just an empty box. Incentivized Ethan Tran Senior Systems Engineer Read full review	Confluent Cloud based Azure platform features for Confluent lacks behind AWS And GCP Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Cloudera It is a well developed product with a good user interface. Incentivized Charles Inglese Senior System Engineer Read full review	Confluent No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Cloudera No answers on this topic	Confluent 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cloudera I have not used any competitors, such as Hortonworks, because Cloudera Manager just works and meets all my customer's needs. I only have deployed Hadoop using command line, which is not easy to use and manage. Incentivized Ethan Tran Senior Systems Engineer Read full review	Confluent 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 Manager has allowed our organization to deploy Apache Hadoop to operations quicker and with less training versus using the command line exclusively. Increased employee efficiency. Increased product adoption. Incentivized Charles Inglese Senior System Engineer Read full review	Confluent It enables us to develop event driven application. It increases our ability to handle streaming data. It reduces latency of communication. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
