“The choice to use Snowflake was part of our platform’s evolution. We needed Striim to complete the vision.”
Rajesh Raju
Director of Data Engineering
“We have a significant software portfolio and the ability to tie that into modern ML use cases where we need to do that is important for us. We are a highly data-driven organization and the ability to tie in predictive models or propensity models is really critical to our strategy. The objective with Striim and CDC usage was to simplify pipelines and minimize latency for real-time decision support.”

Striim vs. Confluent: Feature-by-Feature
Cloud-Scale Architecture
Both Striim and Confluent scale horizontally on in-memory compute with high availability and failover for maximum uptime.
Enables Hybrid-Cloud Use Cases
Both Striim and Confluent can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud.
Support for High Consistency Database Transactions
Striim is designed to maintain transaction integrity (i.e., ACID properties) during real-time data movement so the target database remains consistent with the source.
High-Performance, E1P Change Data Capture (CDC) from Databases
Striim supports high-performance, E1P log-based CDC for many popular databases including: Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, HPE Nonstop, and SQL Server. E1P, high performance CDC is required for mission-critical workloads.
For CDC use cases, Confluent offers Debezium connectors for various databases (which does not support high-performance E1P CDC.)
Striim offers a modern data platform that's both powerful and easy to use
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.
