zookeeper-nodes is an open-source some times disturb too much so I dislike this and also following limits in these features are not good

1-Up to 90 brokers per account and 30 brokers per cluster

2- a minimum of 1 GiB of storage per broker

3-Up to 100 configurations per account

4-A maximum of 16384 GiB of storage per broker

these features are limited, if you need high than this you must make a request & wait for approval, it could take time to approve, this feature can be solved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far because the company is so helpful to clients like us. Why you say something if the product itself is almost perfect even the customer service is outstanding. Like before I figured out that there's a problem they already know that there is and they will contact you directly. No need for you to call. They will figure it out first before you will. I hope all the company will be like this. Because this is faster and better compare to the last system that we used. I"m happy with them so car everything is so good and I don't have my kind of complaint the customer service or after-sales us very good because they have a designated team who will directly contact you and will make sure that you get what you really deserve out of this software. another good thing I got is they don't just offer because they can but they offer because that's what you really need. They assessed carefully our business to make sure that which of the system will match our process. They even provide designated people who will finish the project smoothly.
