"Best option available to integrate event based/real-time tools & applications"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Apache Kafka?

There are many things for which KAFKA has been very useful , few of them are listed below -

1. Performance have been superb.

2. The reliability has improved a lot in recent couple of years.

3. A common solution for both on-prem & cloud basedrequirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Kafka?

Not many I can think of - Initially we had faced some reliability issue but now that is sorted.Apart from that I have faced issue while troubleshooting (rarely required) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Kafka solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has been very beneficial for our company -

1. Our architecture was changing for on-premise to cloud (was a big project and required around 2 years to completely migrate) but in the interim we had requirements for event streaming and we needed a solution which could work both in-premise and on-cloud so that we don't have to re-work once we migrate to cloud and KAFKA was the life saver.

2. Another use case i,s we are working to build a new framework and using KAFKA to publish status of jobs so that same can be integrated with the real-time batch monitoring dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
