"There isn’t another product that competes with Confluent Platform. Streaming data as events enables completely new ways for solving problems at scale."
"You have real-time data: stock prices, things that are ticking. You have data that's pretty static: terms and conditions, things like that. And then you have data that's updating periodically: things like position updates. If you can use a tool like Kafka to pull all that data together and combine it in ways that you display to end users—whether they be traders, salespeople, managers—and you provide them analytics across that data, it's extremely powerful."
“Ultimately it comes down to support. When I call Confluent, I know I’m already going to be talking to a Kafka expert. They don’t have to go find someone. And that matters when minutes or even seconds are on the line for uptime.”
”The visual representation of data sources and topics with Stream Lineage is very helpful because a lot of time, the idea of streaming is new and this makes it possible to have discussions about where data is coming from and how it’s moving. I can’t stress enough how nice it is to have it be stable, always work, and always be there.”
"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."
"With our Kafka-backed data pipeline, we are able to support our partners, who every year create more services, more features, more data instrumentation, and even more granular data than the year before."
“Banks can’t expect to go on operating on outdated technology. Traditional banks can’t expect to move into the future without using data in real time. Confluent helps us set our data in motion.”
“What’s needed is a highly scalable and agile data platform with loosely coupled architecture that will enable you to build applications on top of it with the resilience and reliability that banks need and regulators require"
“First, the cost and risk of making changes to large monolithic applications is prohibitive. Second, you end up with your data locked up in a particular technology and vendor, which can be very challenging to evolve.”
“Confluent plays an integral role in accelerating our journey to becoming a data-first and digital business…We use Confluent Cloud as an essential piece of our data infrastructure to unlock data and stream it in real time.”
"Availability of data is crucial, and having a fully managed platform for the data distribution lets us provide solutions to our customers at speed."
"Our internal platform is totally based on Kafka communication between all the pillars, so it’s like a nervous system for us."
"Confluent is definitely the central pillar of our data infrastructure. All data collection that isn’t an application database is going on our central pipeline through Confluent."
"With Confluent Cloud, we have high-performance event streaming, with the ability to store events securely. This makes it possible for our deterministic matching engine and settlement system to go back in time and replay a sequence in order if we need to."
"Our experience with Confluent Support has been very positive. The response times have been quite fast. We’ve been able to isolate and resolve issues substantially faster than we could on our own, which definitely has helped our velocity."
