Overall Satisfaction with IBM Event Streams

We used IBM Event stream as a part of data analysis pipeline. We would ingest data into Event stream and then fan out to different processors. Our team really loved the product as some of us were already familiar with Kafka and it was very easy to setup. The interface is very intuitive.

Pros

  • Integrates well
  • Based on Opensource software
  • Client libraries and support is awesome

Cons

  • Good documentation from IBM cloud on how to use it well
  • It's better to have some more sample projects
  • Easy to deploy
  • Good integrations
  • Reduced management overhead

Do you think IBM Event Automation delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with IBM Event Automation's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Event Automation live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of IBM Event Automation go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM Event Automation again?

Yes

We felt that it's best for asynchronous processing of data. Managing a Kafka server is hard and time consuming, IBM cloud's Event stream is well suited for teams who don't want to manage their own server and use a fully managed solution instead. We didn't face any issue with our use case though.

Integrating IBM Event Streams

Since it's based on Opensource Kafka, it easily integrate with a lot of pre-existing solutions
