N/A
Datastreamer is turnkey data platform to source, unify, and enrich unstructured data with less work than building data pipelines in-house. Traditional ETL processes and pipelines might not meet the needs of organizations who want to implement unstructured and semi-structured sources such as external social media, blogs, news, forums, and dark web data into their products. This leaves data teams to build pipelines internally which comes with time-draining technical complexities and…N/A

Additional DetailsConfluent monthly bills are based upon resource consumption, i.e., you are only charged for the resources you use when you actually use them: Stream: Kafka clusters are billed for eCKUs/CKUs ($/hour), networking ($/GB), and storage ($/GB-hour). Connect: Use of connectors is billed based on throughput ($/GB) and a task base price ($/task/hour). Process: Use of stream processing with Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink is calculated based on CFUs ($/minute). Govern: Use of Stream Governance is billed based on environment ($/hour). Confluent storage and throughput is calculated in binary gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB is 2^30 bytes. This unit of measurement is also known as a gibibyte (GiB). Please also note that all prices are stated in United States Dollars unless specifically stated otherwise. All billing computations are conducted in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).Pricing is determined by which data sources, AI models, and components are added to a pipeline multiplied by the data volume. This is highly-customizable and varies by use-case. Reach out to our team for a demo to discuss pricing for your specific needs.

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.

Datastreamer
Datastreamer has great competency in aggregation and classification of large amounts of unstructured, conversational/social data. We perform media monitoring on social media data which is infinitely large and changing every second. Datastreamer is able to stream that high volume of complex data reliably. There are other solutions better suited for small data movement efforts. The AI models and operations set Datastreamer apart from simple web API's that only collect data and pass it on without augmenting it's value. Very appropriate for organizations looking to use this type of information to understand and classify sentiment, identify themes/insights to assist in decision making across multi-department roles in an organization: PR, marketing, security etc.

Support Rating
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.

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.
