Two prominent players in the integration platform arena are Onibex One Connect and ASAPIO; both of them have emerged as powerful contenders. In this blog post, we'll dive deep into a comparative analysis of our solution, Onibex One Connect vs ASAPIO, exploring their key features, advantages, and unique offerings to help you make an informed decision for your integration needs.
Confluent Connect in a Nutshell
In the ever-evolving landscape of data integration, choosing the right platform can make all the difference. Confluent, a prominent player in this field, offers five fundamental components that form the backbone of its integration ecosystem:
-
Apache Kafka

Confluent Control Center
-
Confluent Schema Registry
-
Confluent ksqlDB
-
Confluent Connectors
In essence, Confluent Connect simplifies the process of connecting diverse data sources and destinations to Apache Kafka, making it a valuable tool for building robust and scalable data pipelines in modern data-driven applications.
Onibex One Connect vs. ASAPIO: Taking Advantage of the Confluent Ecosystem
Onibex One Connect and ASAPIO are two players in the industry that serve as valuable bridges to Confluent's ecosystem, but they approach it differently.
-
ASAPIO: ASAPIO empowers you to utilize the first two components—Apache Kafka and Confluent Control Center. It offers a solid foundation for Confluent integration.
-
Onibex One Connect: Our pre-packaged solution takes integration a step further by enabling you to leverage all five Confluent components right from the get-go. It achieves this by creating Schema Registries, Topics, and seamlessly converting SAP Types to Avro types on the fly.
Onibex One Connect and ASAPIO Similarities
Before we explore their unique features, let's recognize the common ground shared by Onibex One Connect and ASAPIO:
-
Change Data Capture on Application Layer: Both platforms support Change Data Capture (CDC) at the application layer, ensuring that your data integration stays up-to-date.

Advantages of Onibex One Connect Over ASAPIO
Now, let's explore the distinctive advantages that we offer on Onibex One Connect:
-
Create Confluent Schema Registries on-the-fly: Onibex One Connect streamlines your workflow by automatically generating Confluent Schema Registries, sparing you from manual field-by-field creation.
-
Support for Confluent Schema Evolution: As your data evolves, so does your schema. Onibex One Connect seamlessly supports Confluent Schema evolution, ensuring your integrations remain agile.
-

Onibex One Connect solves the manual schema registry creation
ASAPIO, while a powerful tool, requires manual Schema Registry creation, field by field. For example, consider the JSON message:
"MATERIAL": [
{
"MATERIAL_NUMBER": "5001",
"UOM": [
{
"WEIGHT": 3.750,
"UNIT": "KG"
}
]
}
]
Confluent Developers without SAP experience might mistakenly interpret "MATERIAL_NUMBER" as a numeric field, when it's a CHAR field that evolves in length from 18 to 40 in S/4Hana. Similarly, handling fields like "WEIGHT" requires additional data type clarification. ASAPIO requires this laborious exercise for all fields and tables, which can be a time-consuming endeavor.
Onibex One Connect simplifies this complex task by automating the mapping of SAP Data Types to Avro Types and creating Schema Registries automatically. This saves precious time and minimizes the potential for data interpretation errors.
Onibex One Connect: Automating the Complex & Pre-Packaging Innovation
Beyond integration, Onibex's mission is to prepackage business solutions by collaborating with industry leaders like SAP, Salesforce, Databricks, and others. This partnership results in stronger solutions that accelerate time-to-value, foster adoption, and maximize innovation potential.
