Striim vs. StreamSets Feature Comparison​

Fully automated, fully managed service with high availability

Striim is a fully automated, fully managed service available on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Striim can also be deployed with high availability and strict SLAs for uptime and disaster recovery.

StreamSets is self-hosted and requires customers to manage the data processing plane.

Hybrid cloud and on-premise deployments​

Both Striim and StreamSets can be deployed as on-premise and hybrid on-prem to cloud topologies. 

Exactly Once Data Delivery Guarantee

Striim’s advanced checkpointing capabilities ensure that no events are missed or processed twice.

StreamSets offers a choice of “At Least Once” or “At Most Once” data delivery guarantees which means that data can be either lost or duplicated, depending on which option is chosen.

High-Performance Change Data Capture (CDC)

Striim supports high-performance, log-based CDC for many popular databases including: Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, HPE Nonstop, and SQL Server. Built by the executive & technical team from GoldenGate Software, Striim brings decades of experience in mission-critical enterprise workloads.

StreamSets offers CDC from popular databases, but they only can offer ‘At Least Once’ or ‘At Most Once’ delivery.

Simply Data Flows

Select from hundreds of templates to simplify building your data flows. A step-by-step wizard will lead you through the process of connecting to your source and target to create a data flow application. You can also create custom data flows from scratch.

Define and Optimize

Your data flow defines how to collect, process, and deliver data. The simplest data flow just has a source, a stream, and a target. In many cases you will need to perform some processing on your data. Striim enables you to set up continuous SQL queries optimized for streaming, real-time data.

Real-Time Visibility

Our built-in dashboards and monitoring enable you to see the state of your data flows in real-time and easily identify any bottlenecks. Striim can also validate that your data has been delivered and provide visibility into the end-to-end lag. This level of visibility is essential for mission-critical systems that may have SLAs regarding how current the data is.

Detailed Metrics for Maximum Performance

You can also drill down on any of the components in a data flow to see detailed statistics that include read/write rate, lag, latency, CPU usage, and many other metrics. This detailed information can help identify any bottlenecks, and aids in tuning data flows for maximum performance and minimal latency.

Automation & Custom Alerts

Striim allows you to define SQL-based custom alerts so you can stay informed about the status and performance of your data flows.

In the case of errors, or failures, you can also automate workflows to perform corrective actions. By tapping into error or status streams you can trigger compensating data flows to start, or perform other actions to remediate problems.
