It's very easy to build pipelines. Just drag and drop components and the coding can be done within the components. We can use a wide range of tech and languages to get our data transformation done. We can also connect to different DBs. Also modifying the pipelines and deploying it is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably if we make a change to any jar components in the spark evaluator or add any component to the files in StreamSets, we need to restart the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it allows you to orchestrate your data pipelines with minimal coding and with not-so-deep understanding of DE/ETL concepts is super helpful.

Few things I could say where they came short.

1. Their pricing structure is rather ambiguous and could be hard to decode while choosing the right version for your use case

2. For some data sources, Streamsets may not have connectors as compared to other tools in the market.

3. With the GUI-based tool, and being on the pricey end, there is always long-term maintenance overhead which makes more problems than it solves.

4. They offer customer support via third-party Zendesk and their documentation resources aren't comprehensive enough in my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
