What do you like best about IBM StreamSets?

Nothing - there is not a single upside to using StreamSets. It's expensive, illogical, and rarely works as intended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM StreamSets?

While there are so many things to dislike about StreamSets, it's randomness and instability are at the top of the list. The only way my team has made StreamSets functional is to rely on it for as little as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
