"Avro is the best, free and user friendly Keyboard for Bangla"
What do you like best about AVRO?

In contrast to the conventional keyboard layout, Avro enables users to type in Bengali using a phonetic keyboard configuration. It is the best part of Avro.

1. Avro Keyboard supports Unicode, meaning users can type in Bengali and many other languages using the same software.

2. Avro Keyboard provides auto-correction, making it easier to type quickly and accurately.

3. Avro Keyboard includes spell checking, helping users catch and correct spelling errors before committing them.

4. Avro Keyboard is free and open-source, making it accessible to everyone, and the source code is available for users to review, modify, and redistribute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AVRO?

The following are the main drawbacks of using Avro:

1. Avro may not be appropriate for applications that require data sharing between systems utilizing various technologies since it primarily enables the serialization and exchange of data within the Hadoop ecosystem.

2. Due to its reliance on schema and metadata, it could be slower than other binary serialization formats.

3. Compared to other data serialization formats, Avro can be more difficult to use, especially for users unfamiliar with schema and metadata.

4. Users may find it challenging to create, troubleshoot, and maintain Avro-based systems due to Avro's restricted tooling compared to other data serialization formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AVRO?

I know AVRO encodes messages into binary to make the data more compact but we did have to rework some of our instrumenting and metrics to not rely on understanding the data like it did before when we were just sending JSON Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
