"StreamSets tool for data integration and pipeline"

4.5/5

What do you like best about IBM StreamSets?

I've had a very positive overall experience with streamsets. Streamsets are a tool that our organization uses to migrate its on-premises data to the cloud, it is a potent tool that can assist us in our cloud migration journey by connecting to numerous tools, such as Hadoop and Teradata, with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM StreamSets?

So far i have observed that debugging becomes difficult when utilizing a large dataset because the pipeline fails without generating a specific error. It cannot establish parallel connections with Teradata to speed up pipeline execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"StreamSets: Adaptable data Intergration tool"

3.5/5

What do you like best about IBM StreamSets?

The fact that it allows you to orchestrate your data pipelines with minimal coding and with not-so-deep understading of DE/ETL concepts is super helpful. Also, Streamsets data collector is an open source tool to be used for data ingestion and integration usecases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM StreamSets?

Few things I could say where they came short.

1. Their pricing structure is rather ambigous and could be hard to decode while choosing the right version for your usecase

2.For some data sources, streamsets may not be have connectors as compared to other tools in the market.

3. With the GUI based tool, and being on pricey end, there is always long term maintenance ovehead which makes more problems that it solves.

4. They offer customer support via third party zendesk and their documentation resources aren't comprehensive enough in my experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM StreamSets solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business was looking for a ETL tool that can cater wide variety of data ingestin sources and destinations along with the moderate transformations capability on the fly.

We implemented streamsets to test out one of our pilot program focused on integrating diverse data sources (electricity users ) from vendors across world with the goal to find the behavioural patterns grouped by region/country/culture etc..

The pilot problem was a success. In future, team may want to scale it up to the point where the insights could be leveraged for growth of business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Enterprise Grade Modern Data Integration Platform"

4/5

What do you like best about IBM StreamSets?

Best UI/UX in terms of modern day ETL tools, it enhanced the working machenism thinking and good product support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM StreamSets?

Transformer still misses some basic functionality, and doesn't work well in Google cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM StreamSets solving and how is that benefiting you?

Majorly for all Batch and Streaming Scenarios we are designing StreamSets pipelines, few best suited and tried out use cases below :

1. JDBC to ADLS data transfer based on source refresh frequency.

2. Kafka to GCS.

3. Kafka to Azure Event.

4. Hub HDFS to ADLS data transfer.

5. Schema generation to generate Avro.

The easy to design Canvas, Scheduling Jobs, Fragment creation and utilization, an inbuilt wide range of Stage availability makes it an even more favorable tool for me to design data engineering pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
