Why Choose Striim vs. StreamSets?
Fortune 500 companies power their cloud initiatives with Striim
Companies Choose Striim for Scalable, Real-Time Replication
“Our legacy analytics platform used to take an hour per customer data load and weeks for each new deployment. With Striim we are able to transfer operational data to Snowflake in near realtime.”
Prashant Soral,
CTO at Inspyrus
“Striim is a fully managed service that reduces our total cost of ownership while providing a simple drag and drop UI. There’s no maintenance overhead for American Airlines to maintain the infrastructure”

Sr. Manager at American Airlines
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.

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.

Data Observability to meet business SLAs
Striim offers detailed and customizable real-time dashboards and alerts visualizing end-to-end data delivery from source to target. Striim matches source and target transactions and alerts users to missing transactions, making it easy to identify issues as they occur. Striim offers data delivery and latency SLAs. Customers see end-to-end latency under 2 seconds.
StreamSets allows users to monitor jobs with a “Realtime Summary” that includes Record Count, Record Throughput, and Runtime statistics. They provide error messages and logs which can be time-intensive to scan through in the event of data loss or data lag scenarios.

Custom Alerts
Striim allows custom alerts on data delivery SLAs, data loss, and user-defined rules. Striim’s custom alerts are created using Streaming SQL.
StreamSets also allows the creation of custom alerts using the StreamSets expression language (based on JSP 2.0 expression language).

Automated Corrective Actions
Striim users can create custom workflows to perform corrective actions in the event of errors or failures. By tapping into error or status streams users can trigger compensating data flows, or perform other actions to remediate problems.

Real-Time Data Enrichment
Striim supports data enrichment and normalization using in-memory key-value stores for historic data. This allows users to enrich raw, real-time data with historical aggregates and lookup data.

Real-time Transformations
Striim users use streaming SQL for in-flight transformations, correlation, aggregation, masking, filtering, and analytics. Striim scales horizontally with in-memory compute for high performance transformations.
StreamSets Transformer leverages Apache Spark to allow users to perform stream processing and machine learning operations. However there is overhead of batch processing.

Striim offers a modern data platform that's both powerful and easy to use
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Striim gives us a single source of truth across domains and speeds our time to market delivering a cohesive experience across different systems.
