Kafka does not have a monitoring tool like other stream systems do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I liked the most about Kafka is it provides a highly structured way to acquire data in real-time from the source system. And it is highly reliable and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I don't like about Apache Kafka is there is not much transformation I am able to perform before I store the data in destination systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is the best software available to stream data over the Internet. Its seamless integration with other free software allows you to build a complete stack to handle huge amounts of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Integration with multiple programming languages could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kafka is simple, fast, and reliable. It can be used in so many Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not easy to query the data inside kafka Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
connector framework and loosely coupled integration with fault-tolerance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
developer friendly UI feature is missing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Topics, easily testable, consumers and publishers, easily integrate with spring boot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My experience with Kafka was excellent. I didn't have any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kafka provides service to emit data between producer and consumer inside the system. It is very helpful in case of asynchronous operations when necessary to wait until remote devices returns response. It works very fast and scalable thanks to parallel calculation depends on numbers of CPU cores. Queue system is the wonderful idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Rebalancing takes a lot of time when the node becomes unavailable or restart, so Kafka waits until primary partitions relaunch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do I like best: Reliability and Fault Tolerance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think sometimes it's difficult to find the skewed topics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use as well as the number of various options that can be configured. It is also modular which allows you to plug in modules to increase functionality. It is well supported by the community with lots of help available when stuck. Its also available as Docker images to make installation very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The configuration options sometimes can get confusing and the documentation although very good is sometimes hard to follow. Ensuring a configuration is correct and working as expected is not trivial as it is a network application and requires many clients to test it out. Adding extra modules might not make clients work correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
scalable data is partitioned brokered stable versions of kafka enables to upgrade the kafka at any time Kafka parallelism at the topic level is very useful to achieve performance and scale to million requests per second kafka has provided very well defined storage management, it provides many options to configure them by size & by time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
load balancing requires all ips to be known by producer When the kafka is hosted in any on prem environment, usually users does not want to expose all three ip address due to security concerns. But kafka client needs all ip addresses of kafka cluster to load balance Load time of the data when any node restart is huge when we have large data in kafka before restart when one node goes down in cluster, it takes lot of time to rebalance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
