JKool is a decent tool for retrieving information regarding user engagement and customer feedback for your software products. With these information it's very valuable stepping stone for us to make future updates or produce new products. However, there are some downsides with jKool, two of which are there are too much clutter in the GUI and it takes sometimes to turn how things work.

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.
