Likelihood to Recommend

IBM StreamSets is well suited for real-time or batch data integration across different systems, especially where data quality, monitoring, and governance are priorities. It’s less appropriatr where a full platform deployment adds unnecessary overhead. It can also be challenging in highly restricted network environments, where configuring collectors and securing communication adds complexity.
