My experience with IBM Stream sets has been very good. As a DataOps Engineer, this tool is helpful and easy to use in building/managing production grade pipelines. Its UI helps in easily constructing a transform data pipeline and load at the desired destination. With the help of Stream sets ingesting data and transforming data happens simultaneously

IBM StreamSets Likes & Dislikes

Like

The most liked about the product is that it helps in minimal code writing but effective data pipeline building with its UI snaps. It supports multiple sources and destinations which makes data ingestion easy.

Like

- easy to start - willing to meet and help - good customer engagement and constant feedback to help improve

Like

1. Connects well with different data sources 2. Easy to use 3. Drag and Drop 4. Scheduling jobs is easy 5. Data collector pipelines are great

Dislike

What I dislike about IBM StreamSets is that some pipeline transformation logic requires writing Groovy scripts, and for data engineers not familiar with the scripting language, it takes extra time to build and debug the logic.

Dislike

- network issues - product related bugs - not understanding best practices from other companies

Dislike

1. When we run the pipeline to transfer large datasets, it breaks sometimes giving an error which is difficult to debug 2. Working with Variable can be tricky

    StreamSets Platform: Revolutionizing Data Transfer from On-Prem to Cloud

    4.0
    Jan 13, 2025
    My overall experience with the StreamSets platform has been quite satisfactory. We are using StreamSets to create data pipelines to move data from on-prem sources to cloud sources. It connects very easily with almost all the sources like Teradata, Hadoop and moves data smoothly to cloud platform which in our case in Snowflake.
