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.

  • Integrates well
  • Based on Opensource software
  • Client libraries and support is awesome
  • 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
Since it's based on Opensource Kafka, it easily integrate with a lot of pre-existing solutions

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

Yes

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

Yes

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

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of IBM Event Streams go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM Event Streams 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.
