Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/27/2024 "A good selfservice and API for enabling Kafka" 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.

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.
