Apache Kafka is one of the best to stream continuous messages. It streams continuously without interruption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only issue is with message ordering if the quantity is too much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its ability to handle high throughput and low latency event streaming. Its partitioning system allows data to be distributed across multiple brokers making it horizontally scalable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it lacks built-in security features and is very complex to set up and configure. Also, it consumes too much of resources, especially memory. Message ordering is not guaranteed across multiple partitions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kafka is great when you want to enhance your software system and make it asynchronous. It's like the best most enhanced version of having a queue with partitions that you can leverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far it's great, documentation is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is fault tolerant and has a retention period for playback of undelivered data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Does not fit everywhere. It can only be used for huge data streams not for small applications where point to point data transfer is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a stable product that serves almost all messaging and streaming needs. Various delivery guarantees help developers design different types of systems. Also, it provides clients and other utilities which are easy to use and speed up development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the re-balancing creates problems and makes the system unstable. Also, a few features are missing in the design, available in Apache Pulsar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Highly scalable, easy to configure, Highly available, Guarantee sequential processing in a partition, No Data loss Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
debugging the production issues related to data loss, consumer lag, duplicate messages, lost messages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Apache Kafka have the good platform support, also its adopibility make easy to get the community presence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful
Feature rich
Flexible design
Can work both cloud and on premise Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can hardly think any , it's the best pubsub I have found Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the best features of kafka are scalability &durability. it is fault tolerance so even if something bad goes, kafka manages itself. We do not have write logics to prevent data loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would say dislike. it is more of a limitation, kafka is purely programming based. As a programmer I find it manageable but for a non-programming background person it can be a bit challenge to learn Java code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Support pub-sup. Pipeline streaming, many connectors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Difficult to achieve atomic principles like transaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
