"A good selfservice and API for enabling Kafka"

4/5

What do you like best about Axual?

Using the Axual software eases the rollout of Kafka and the use of it within the organization. By configuring Kafka using the selfservice or using API calls, integration within the data streaming environment is made very easy without needing to understand the exact details of the underlying Kafka platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axual?

The evolution of the Axual software is rather quick and tends to break API's in some cases. This doesn' t speed up integration and needs the help of Axual consultants in those cases. The Axual teams respods fairly quick on requests and incidents though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Self-service Kafka for teams"

4/5

What do you like best about Axual?

Axual has a clear focus on making Kafka usuable as a self-service platform. It enables teams to do their own thing in a controlled way. At the same time they provide a manageable platform on the infra side so that we can run it on-prem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axual?

The governance aspect is of the self-service portal provides a clear way-of-working for teams to manage their data streams. However, governing these activities to ensure compliance with company policies becomes a challenge. Self-service requires an automatied policy-driven way of working to stay in control and guide how teams configure their resources within the platform. This is lacking and in some cases forces us to resort to more centralized control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axual solving and how is that benefiting you?

Provide a high-performant, business- and mission-critical platform for enterprise-wide event streaming. It is a major part of our company data platform where data streams come together and are shared across the company. Being able to share data in real-time and in high volume is a crucial enabler for many business cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
