    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.

    The data model is really flexible, so it should function well across many industries. Reltio Connected Data Platform tends to add new features first to its industrial vertical customers, though, so it may be especially well suited if your use case is specifically supported.

    • integration with SFDC, D&B
    • Reltio API allows us to build interfaces with ease.
    • The beauty of Reltio is Consolidation at any time we can review data at field level from different sources (crosswalk) and configure match merge and survivorship rules to define operational value and approved data can be redistributed to the upstream or downstream systems.
    • With Central data governance, enrichment with D&B allows creating trusted data and distribute to various systems.

    Reltio
    • UI does not support creating different profile views for an entity based upon customer types as example however we can achieve this by using sub entities ( sub classes). This feature is useful if we are creating profiles in reltio manually.
    • Manual export every time we need to pick entities, fields etc does not allow to save templates. workaround is using postman creating predefined API with selected fields, filters and trigger export.
    • UI does not support data masking which needed while we maintain PII information
    • Potential Matches doesnt auto sort on confidence code so users need to manually select deselect relevant entities which is time consuming and painful process however this issue is when we have more than 4 entities as potential matches.
    • It would be beneficial if UI displays data related errors (if any) between Reltio and SFDC.

    Support Rating
    IBM
    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.

    We felt Reltio had the best user experience, with flexible graph database technology and a customizable UI. Also important was the ability to look at historical snapshots to see relationships as they existed as of a previous date.
