RPK is great and easy to integrate into existing tools. They’re constantly improving the UI/UX, which makes the overall experience smoother. The AI agent is usually spot-on, and when I do need help, opening tickets and getting solutions is super fast and efficient. The kafka connect and red panda connect options are a great way to bring existing data into the streaming pipe. Support and account managers are great, they're the one vendor we're always happy to talk to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to the alternatives, I see very few downsides. Any issues or potential drawbacks tend to get addressed quickly through UI updates, rpk updates, and similar improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
