"Great for service discovery and K-V store"

5/5

Love that service discovery is pretty easy to set up using consul. We can easily externalize application properties through a consul agent. This provides for secure storage of property key values and the best part is we don't even have to restart the application if we change the properties Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
