We needed a data streaming platform to support real time data ingestion to our data lake environment. This real time data supported client facing in store and digital use cases for sub second api call classification or product promotions. As well, we looked for a partner who could replace our current technology on Azure and Confluent was able to do so at a global enterprise level.
  • Streaming real time transactional data to cloud storage locations
  • Data streaming transformation reducing compute expenses on lake and warehouse environments
  • Transfer large size data segments
  • Cloud based Azure platform features for Confluent lacks behind AWS And GCP
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.

  • Confluent replaced Microsoft Event Hubs in our environment and unblocked data platform services rollout globally.
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.

The Confluent platform is currently being used by my company in the whole enterprise level. As a health care company, we need to improve interoperability between different departments and their vendors. By using the Confluent platform, we can quickly set up the messaging system and build event-driven applications, and it really helps our development.
  • Products work great.
  • Training is available.
  • Customer support is good.
  • Cloud service might need more granular configuration.
If your company needs to build event-driven applications, like in healthcare industry, you need to enhance interoperability, and you are seeking a reliable service with enterprise-grade support, Confluent is the best on the market you can get. Their product works great and they provide very good customer service.

  • It enables us to develop event driven application.
  • It increases our ability to handle streaming data.
  • It reduces latency of communication.
We chose to use the Confluent Platform because they provide enterprise-grade customer service support. Whenever we have trouble setting up or using the service, we can create a ticket for them and it will be resolved pretty fast. Kafka is the open-source software that comes without warranty.
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.
