Amazon MSK vs Apache Pulsar comparison

"It offers good stability."

"Amazon MSK's scalability is very good."

"The most valuable feature of Amazon MSK is the integration."

"It is a stable product."

"The solution's technical support was helpful."

"Amazon MSK's separation of concerns and ease of creating and deploying new features are highly valuable. It just requires to assign them to the topic, and then anyone who needs to consume these messages can do so directly from Amazon MSK. This separation of concerns makes it very convenient, especially for new feature development, as developers can easily access the messages they need without having to deal with complex server communications or protocol setups."

"MSK has a private network that's an out-of-box feature."

"Overall, it is very cost-effective based on the workflow."

"The solution operates as a classic message broker but also as a streaming platform."

"Amazon MSK could improve on the features they offer. They are still lagging behind Confluence."

"It should be more flexible, integration-wise."

"The configuration seems a little complex and the documentation on the product is not available."

"It does not autoscale. Because if you do keep it manually when you add a note to the cluster and then you register it, then it is scalable, but the fact that you have to go and do it, I think, makes it, again, a bit of some operational overhead when managing the cluster."

"Horizontal scale-out is actually not easy, making it an area where improvements are required."

"One of the reasons why we prefer Kafka is because the support is a little bit difficult to manage with Amazon MSK."

"It would be really helpful if Amazon MSK could provide a single installation that covers all the servers."

"The product's schema support needs enhancement. It will help enhance integration with many kinds of languages of programming languages, especially for environments using languages like .NET."

"Documentation is poor because much of it is in Chinese with no English translation."

"The price of Amazon MSK is less than some competitor solutions, such as Confluence."

"When you create a complete enterprise-driven architecture that is deployable on an enterprise scale, I would say that the prices of Amazon MSK and Confluent Platform become comparable."

"The platform has better pricing than one of its competitors."
