The most helpful about Kpow for Apache Kafka is the easy setup, support for multiple types of schemas (Avro, Protobuf and more), fair price, nice to use and clean UI.

What we appreciate with kPow is that it gives you all the good features available in the market in one tool : - Beautiful UI/UX like Kowl - Efficient topic message searching like Kafka UI - Excellent to watch and edit topics configuration, even better than Kafka UI - Able to browse and edit schema registry efficiently like Kafka UI And in addition, you got multiple bonus features : - Useful and beautiful monitoring of cluster, connectors, consumers, etc... - Better consumer offset reset management - Fully customizable auth mechanism from very simple to very complex - Fully integrated Kafka Stream topology display and monitoring using kpow-streams-agent - Human support with excellent technical understanding - Open about feature requests that can bring value to the product, with a good following after suggestion is made - Open-minded about license pricing for a small-sized company - And so on...

A nifty UI for understanding our kafka clusters and topics without needing to resort to the command line. A tool ops and developers can both use alike. The development team really engage their customers and build new features in colloboration with them. Quick to respond to feedback.
