"As we bring in more private data, the security and monitoring capabilities of Confluent Platform are becoming more and more important. We are very bullish on using Confluent Control Center to improve the monitoring of our pipelines, from source to target."
"We needed a partner to help us get RI-Platform up and running with maximum reliability. We decided to work with Confluent."
"We never use the excuse that ‘we’re learning’ to lessen our customers’ expectations of our digital services. Confluent expertise and Confluent Platform capabilities are helping us shorten the learning curve as Kafka takes on a larger role in our modern software architecture.”
"Using Confluent’s out-of-the-box tools really helped us to focus on building new things, rather than solving problems in-house that have already been solved for us at scale by Confluent."
"There isn't another product that competes with Confluent. Streaming data as events enables completely new ways for solving problems at scale."
“We relied on batch processes to roll all this data up to a data warehouse, but those processes were taking longer and longer to complete. If they failed and had to be restarted, we were at risk of clients not seeing up-to-date data when they logged in and the entire process was at risk of breaking down due to the sheer volume of data it was handling.”
“And, the regular check-up calls we have with Confluent help us to keep moving forward and ensure we never stay stuck on some technical issue.”
“With Flink, we now have the opportunity to shift left and do a lot of early data transformations and computation on our data before it reaches Snowflake. This will optimize our data processing costs to increase the amount of data we have available.”
"In terms of hard costs, Confluent reduced our bottom line from the infrastructure cost perspective, reducing licensing and physical hardware. We reduced our projected yearly cost by 69%. And the months of planning we would have to put into meetings and seasonal projections are gone, so our management oversight is reduced from a soft-cost perspective."
"A key advantage of Confluent Cloud in delivering AutoExtract is time to market. We didn’t have to set up a Kafka cluster ourselves or wait for our infrastructure team to do it for us. With Confluent Cloud we quickly had a state-of-the-art Kafka cluster up and running perfectly smoothly. And if we run into any issues, we have experts at Confluent to help us look into them and resolve them. That puts us in a great position as a team and as a company."
"We work with Confluent because it is extremely valuable to have access to experts who know the most about Apache Kafka. It’s that feeling of security that has paid off for us."
"With Confluent and Apache Kafka, we have quick access to the varying types of data allows us to move faster as a development team and allows us to respond more quickly to our users."
“Although we had some experience running open source Kafka ourselves, we recognized that we needed a trusted partner to help us resolve issues that we’d encounter with a larger-scale deployment. Confluent not only had a local office to provide that support, they also had the best known, verified solution, which was what we wanted for our mission-critical e-commerce platforms.”
“We’re expecting to increase our bottom-line revenue growth via data infrastructure cost savings of 20 to 30 percent, and we expect to greatly reduce the complexity of our data infrastructure thanks to Confluent.”
“We started out managing our own Kafka clusters, but as soon as we got to scale, we realised it would be too inefficient and expensive for us to keep self-managing. Thankfully, with Confluent, we get fully managed products and services that go beyond just infrastructure; they help us scale Kafka, handle upgrades, and solve problems when required.”
