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.

Support Rating
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.
