IBM StreamSets vs. Panoply

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.

Panoply is great for smaller organizations where analytics is critical, but it is unrealistic to hire a data engineer or build a data infrastructure. Panoply comes as a full data stack out of the box.

• it connects to many data sources and helps catch issues early with built-in alerts and monitoring tools
• it supports real-time and batch processing, handles data drift well, and makes pipeline debugging easier with the updated UI

• Redshift setup -- so much easier with Panoply, rather than messing around with AWS mishegoss
• Automated data ingestion and formatting -- I love not having to write out SQL table schema
• Easy scaling and data warehouse maintenance -- I don't like to have to mess with this in previous redshift implementations

• Where the person's skillsets in data analysis is not of an expert.
• Data monitoring and analysis.
• Customer data for better customer acquisition

• Needs more user control

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.

because i think that overall the solution is having a positive impact on the business, it allows multiple benefits in simplification of the tasks and is capable of doing multiple process that are usually done by a combination of man and systems, reducing the time and effort required to have the data.

It’s a good choice for building a quick, multipurpose data stack for a variety of businesses needs.

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.

Panoply has much more storage and better organization tools for searching. There are better folders and tools for keeping documents secure and stored for a long period of time. It is better to offload data in mass than singular or Zip drive documents like you would do in Google Drive.

• Reduced manual handling, cutting down operational costs for our team.
• It also accelerated our time to Insight, which has eventually led to faster decision making.
• Data quality is improved.

• The user interface could use some improvement for analytical tools. Apart from that, it’s great.
