"Kafka Connect framework is valuable for connecting to the various source systems where code doesn't need to be written."
"Confluence's greatest asset is its user-friendly interface, coupled with its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with a vast range of other solutions."
"Implementing Confluent's schema registry has significantly enhanced our organization's data quality assurance."
"The most valuable feature that we are using is the data replication between the data centers allowing us to configure a disaster recovery or software. However, is it's not mandatory to use and because most of the features that we use are from Apache Kafka, such as end-to-end encryption. Internally, we can develop our own kind of product or service from Apache Kafka."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."

"We use the solution to develop applications."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."

"Confluent's price needs improvement."
"Currently, in the early stages, I see a gap on the security side. If you are using the SaaS version, we would like to get a fuller, more secure solution that can be adopted right out of the box. Confluence could do a better job sharing best practices or a reusable pattern that others have used, especially for companies that can not afford to hire professional services from Confluent."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
