Data enrichment is effectively done in stream analytics also checking the values with different functionality like windowing and group by clause is effectively working.

Because real-world sources often change (new fields get added, formats get tweaked, etc.), StreamSets helps detect and adapt to those "schema drifts" or changes automatically, or with minimal manual intervention. That makes pipelines more resilient and significantly reduces the maintenance burden. Therefore, data sets with constantly changing sources/formats are great for StreamSets.

IBM Stream sets has been a wonderful addition to our technology stack. It has helped in some of our initiatives such as data engineering, data integration for not only external customers but also for internal purposes. The tool has also helped on our use cases related to streaming data. Moving to another tool would require significant amount of work and time.

Streamsets support has improved a lot in the last couple of years. We had some challenges in the beginning with support, but now the quality of the support and the responsiveness to tickets are better. We have contacted support multiple times when it came to scenarios where the system was slow or the output as not as we expected

Before, we were using Informatica since most of our applications were running on on-prem servers. Later, when we started moving to the cloud, we tried Informatica Cloud, but it's more useful for batch-oriented than streaming. That's why one of our tech architects suggested IBM StreamSets for our real-time data streaming. During the POC stage, we were happy that the data streaming was way better with IBM StreamSets compared to the Informatica Cloud way of doing.
