"Review on event streams"
4/5
What do you like best about IBM Event Streams?

Since it's built on Kafka, there's more reachability among the people who use it and the better-built interface is a very positive side among other competitors. And it's very easy to manage and plan different events. Much helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Event Streams?

In using downstreams, the minimal features and the rate of releases were slow, which makes us feel that there's no upgrades and other than that there's poor marketing of the product. I hope it reaches more customers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
