    IBM Event Streams is well suited for companies developing event driven Microservices. One of the biggest challenger with microservices is that your data gets distributed into little silos - event streaming (or better known as event sourcing) allows you to get a central source of truth in your event store. We are taking this approach with IBM Event Streams and it is well suited for building an event streaming / sourcing architecture.

    Below samples are the well suited use cases; - Change data capture feature seamlessly works on popular RDMS. You can make enrichments on several data sources within the same Striim application. - You can install stand alone agents and start streaming log files to Striim servers. This is mainly useful for security operations or audit trail use cases.

    The product was very user friendly and extremely easy to get started with. The documentation is excellent and the free tier makes it very easy to get started with without having to make deep or long term financial commitments.

    I met with the support team and they have deep technical and development understanding of the needs and the problems which IBM Event Streams addresses. If you are looking for a product backed by a highly technical support team then IBM Event Streams is probably the best choice. I was specifically impressed by the level of technical understanding my support team demonstrated.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • In using downstreams, the minimal features and the rate of releases were slow, makes us feel that there's no upgrades and other than that there's poor marketing of the product.
    • The adoption around the service is low, requires focused marketing.
    • Lack of visibility into topic depth , Monitoring capabilities
