Director Data Management Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "K3 " July 2, 2021 5.0 I like it. K3 does a good job of troubleshooting general data issues. The K3 team does pick up the phone. THis alone is a huge difference to our experience with other vendors. They are very responsive and interested in solving problems.. Pros We connect to a bunch of legacy systems, files and APIs. We get the data out of there and both send it to other systems and warehouse it. K3 has very intuitive ETL that does not require Python or some other code. Our operations teams have pretty much gone ahead and taken command of the full data lifecycle. Cons Nothing in particular comes to mind. For the super complicated work flows we worked with the K3 team to design some really complex orchestration. It took less time than expected. Documentation is fine maybe comparable to other systems but could always be better. Switched from [Talend Data Fabric](https://www.capterra.com/p/118978/Data-Integration/)[PowerCenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/117/PowerCenter/) These require way too much code. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder, Instructor Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Our Data Process" January 8, 2018 5.0 Easily connected to lots of challenging applications. Great ETL. Rules engine has saved us multiple times. Pros I can walk you though our process. We have a lot of on prem apps. We also have a handful of SAAS apps. There are a lot of integration options. We looked at everything from custom, in-house build to drag drop type solutions. Any integration app you look at is going to fall somewhere on this spectrum. For example, one product we looked at just formalizes an in house build, but carries a similar high workload. Others are highly abstracted and easy to use but do not allow you low level control. Many of these drag drop typesdid not get enterprise apps and complex integration work (nope this app has no API). We picked K3 because of its ability to create low level control, while making simple tasks easily managed by non-technical people. Do your homework. Every developer wants to build their own stuff. But they do not want to maintain. K3 is great at meeting both sides. We flow a ton of very high priority data through K3 and support is great. BroadPeak really does understand challenging applications/ environments. Cons Pricing can get complicated. But, our all in cost is very reasonable. I asked one of their employees about this over beers and they admitted on the initial sale they are trying to figure out what kind of client you are going to be. Those who have a firm idea about what they want get a much better deal. Review Source Britney D. Sales Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We Use K3" April 12, 2018 4.0 Mostly we are using it for data prep pulling data out of a series of in house databases and legacy systems. Pros We use K3 a bit differently. Mostly we are using it for data prep pulling data out of a series of in house databases and legacy systems. We used to use a desktop tool for this, but K3 quickly pulls data out and we clean/map/rule it via K3 This gives us a great dataset to do Business Intelligence. Cons None that I can think of. The user interface is intuitive. And if you are dealing with legacy systems its awesome. Review Source Mario P. Business Development Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy choice, because it's the right choice " April 19, 2018 5.0 Pros Best in class. Not much more needs to be said. Always happy to recommend the right tool and I have yet to see a client of ours be anything but pleased with K3. Pricing is fair. The guys at BroadPeak are good at what they do. They know trading, they know compliance, they know commodities, and they know technology. Cons Never had a problem with K3 or BroadPeak Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Scalable" April 17, 2018 5.0 Pros I started the company in 2013. Our client base grew rapidly right from the start, which is an excellent problem to have, but certain challenges came with the territory. I scoped out the market for an integration solution that was optimized for scalability. BroadPeak's pricing structure is based on the number of systems we integrate, so we get unlimited users and there is no cap on the amount of data we have flowing. K3 has been an integral factor in our ability to grow exponentially year after year without needing to vastly increase our internal resources. Cons Don't have any Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Online Marketing Executive(TL) Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Trading integration" April 20, 2018 5.0 K3 is the plumbing that brings in all our trades from CME, Trayport and ICE. We book about 6 thousand trades per day. Works like a charm. Pros K3 is the plumbing that brings in all our trades from CME, Trayport and ICE. We book about 6 thousand trades per day. Works like a charm. We get alerts anytime there is a block or EFRS for us to follow up on. Compared to our old solution it works amazingly well. All trades go straight into our primary ETRM and two other systems. We get far more performance out of our ETRM by aggregating fills before booking. K3 keeps both the fills and output trades. It's significantly reduced our end of day and spared us some costly upgrades. Cons These guys know trading and technology very well. We didn't think they could connect to our older systems but they got it done and done quickly. I know BroadPeak has big plans for K3 outside of trading. I just hope it does not dilute their acumen in our area. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Vice President, Business Development - Marketview by DrillingInfo Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good software... great company" April 17, 2018 5.0 Pros I've been using K3 for a little over 3 years. Primarily for integrating multiple internal systems, but we also it for connecting to various third party systems as well. Our experience with K3 has been positive all around and the support team is incredibly responsive. They have really helped us get the most out of our data by guiding us to leverage K3's functionality with new and legacy systems Cons I dont have any cons Review Source Katie W. Manager of Marketing Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Data Analysis" May 18, 2021 5.0 K3 is a key part of our overall architecure. We get data from several internal and external systems. Transform the data into one of two data lakes. We then use Tableau to viz and report. It all works great. We had a great time setting up the system with the K3 team and learned a lot. Pros Easy ETL. good data analysis setup. Easy to get data into data lakes. actually great support Cons none that i can think of. K3 is very intuitive. Switched from [PowerCenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/117/PowerCenter/) K3 just requires less people to run. Review Source Anchal A. PR Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "K3 Integration" April 13, 2018 5.0 Pros Started using K3 about a year ago. This is a very smart team doing smart software. The idea is basically giving the non-coding people doing the ability to maintain and control integration. This is huge in terms of running efficiently. This is actually very do-able through the K3 user interface. The amount of control you get from the rules engine in terms of tackling tough issues is amazing. Cons None come to mind. We've used K3 with RabbitMQ and Kafka. K3 is JMS friendly, so i don't know why you couldn't use any message bus. Review Source Jeff O. Founder Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have used K3 at a couple different clients, where my company supplies IT resources." January 16, 2018 5.0 Saves a tremendous amount of man power. Pros Mapping Data in any industry involves a host of business analysts and programmers. K3 allows users to Map data, and maintain mappings without involving programmers and data analysts. The process is fast, easy, and also documents the mappings. Cons I don't have any Cons at this time. I would say, that I think this type of software is hard for companies to adopt. Companies that have IT resources will have a hard time adopting a product that displaces IT resources. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer EC Program Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes our day-to-day tasks much easier to manage" April 10, 2018 5.0 Pros K3 keeps us out of the data weeds. Implementation was quick and painless, but the real value has come through by significantly cutting down on mundane tasks. The rules engine allows us to easily apply the necessary business logic without hassle. User friendly. Sufficient admin/security features for our needs. Great product -especially for the price. Cons Don't have any at this time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Impressive! " March 5, 2018 5.0 Pros Simple, easy to use software that works and addresses the needs of both business & IT. K3 allows users to map and maintain mapping information without the need to go through IT service deck. K3 can be used not only as a means to interface with the various systems, but also for data cleansing, all the way to regulatory reporting. Cons None at this time. I have been impressed with the ability of the software and the capabilities & genius of team @ Broadpeak. Review Source RN Ryan N. Contract Controls Specialist Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic. Great for mergers" April 13, 2018 5.0 Pros The software is straightforward and easy to use. We never had to rely on an IT specialist to get things fixed. Broadpeak helped get things running, which only took a few days, then I was able to get my job done. Cons Honestly, having integrated a few different companies that have been acquired, I wish we had this sooner. This saved us time, money, and kept us from becoming to backlogged. Review Source CL Chris L. Systems Analyst Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Broadpeak at Calpine" December 12, 2023 5.0 Excellent. Very knowledgeable folks willing to help at every turn. Product has been rock solid since day one. Pros They stay one step ahead of any and all changes and integrate them pretty seamlessly. Very proactive. Their support is excellent. The support folks are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They have helped us through several highly critical issues on the spot. It's always on and captures/has captured all of our trades on multiple exchanges every day for years. Cons The highlight/scroll feature when reviewing alot of trades is sometimes hard to tell which trade you're on. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce Integration" April 17, 2019 5.0 Pros Our Broadpeak consultant asked me to leave a review. We are a k3 customer. K3 connects about 12 drop file sources and two databases to our salesforce integration. We also pull some data back. Setup was very fast compared to our old SSIS framework. We were expecting a major project moving off of SSIS but it went smoothly. Its easier to do our ETL in K3. Cons Adapters config files are fine. OK for IT team but not for the Business Analyst team Heard these are better in 7.0 Looking forward. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Manager at YPM Used the software for: 2+ years ### "great" May 8, 2018 5.0 K3 can easily customize xpath and templates for obscure xml. Its intuitive enough that i could figure most out myself. Pros K3 is an integration platform. We have used it for a couple of years. Currently connecting 7 different applications. Setup is simple. Can easily customize xpath and templates for obscure xml. DB connectors are really flexible.Solid documentation.Its intuitive enough that i could figure most out myself. Cons I would like to be able to add my own JAR files at some point. You might be able to do this but I have not figured it out. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Presales Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Building a Single Source of Truth" April 24, 2018 5.0 K3 is the tool we use to minimize risk. Its pretty simple actually. Pros K3 is the middleware that drives our enterprise single source of truth. I've been around the IT world long enough to know that enterprise data warehousing projects are a recipe for career disaster. K3 is the tool we use to minimize risk. It's pretty simple actually. We connect to 5 upstream systems with K3 and use it to drive the transformation that is necessary to our downstream BI efforts. Some vendors talk about streaming ETL but K3 actually does it very gracefully. Cons No drawbacks to K3. The learning curve is very short. No complex coding required. We've freed up a bunch of developers using this thing. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Regulatory Reporting" April 26, 2018 5.0 K3 is a good application. We report trades in Europe and the United States. Pros BroadPeak asked me to leave a review. K3 is a good application. We report trades in Europe and the United States. K3 takes data from our trading system and sends it to CME and Unavista. Setup was straightforward. It's all automated and has email alerts. We get a full audit trail of our reporting activity. The project was completed on time and on budget. This is rare at our company so kudos to the BroadPeak Team. Cons European support is getting better but we would love to seem more. Else there is no reason to give any negative comment. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Chief Operating Officer, ICE Trade Vault LLC Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "K3 provides efficient solutions for data automation with superb customer service." August 20, 2018 5.0 Pros Ease of use, efficiency, customer service/support. K3 is a fluid integration platform that will conform itself to fit a company’s specific set of needs. Broadpeak has a staff of experienced developers that are able to customize the K3 system to automate communication and trade booking with exchanges, trade repositories, and the eConfirm confirmation platform for a number of our customers. They are efficient and partner well to deliver the best customer experience available. Broadpeak has initiated the automation of regulatory compliance requirements such as trade submission, valuation reporting, and life cycle events for a variety of our customers who have been pleased with the user interface and most of all the customer service K3 and Broadpeak provides. Cons no issues identified Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Engineer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Finally caught up with technology" April 13, 2018 5.0 Pros Started with this company about a year ago. They kept so much information in Excel over the years and didn't really have the technical bandwidth to spend a lot of time organizing everything. LONG overdue to put all this data to good use. You know..pretty much your typical BI nightmare. Tableau is great, but analytics are useless if you can't get a handle on your data in the first place. K3 really took on the bulk of the work. The UI is very straight-forward. I didn't even have to call on my IT guy for help (which I think he appreciated probably more than me). Its just nice to have control over my data. Cons No Cons so far. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer VP Gas Origination Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A friend referred me. I owe him a drink. " April 16, 2018 5.0 Pros I have been very pleased with this product. We have tons of data that's just been sitting dormant for years because nobody has time to do anything about it. A friend of mine referred me to BroadPeak. They were very helpful and trained me on using K3 simultaneously during implementation so I have been off and running from the get go with little need for support. It's just a great tool to have in your tool belt. Cons Can't complain. K3 has been a huge value add to our organization. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Limits" April 30, 2018 5.0 Like the software and the company. Pros Our company only uses K3 for position limits. Setup was fast. We get real time trades from the exchanges and K3 calculates our real time limits. Atlas is a big plus. Like the software and the company. Cons There were some minor configuration issues that had to be troubleshot when we first started. Some was just education on our part. But once it is up and running the reports are great, intuitive etc. Review Source DM Darren M. Manager Crude Risk Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best software vendor experience I have encountered in the industry" March 9, 2018 5.0 We were able to enhance the quality and flexibility of our legacy ETRM system data for a relative low cost. Our experience was overwhelmingly positive, both their software and attitude was flexible enough to overcome our internal legacy challenges without blowing our budget. Pros The attitude and skills of the owners/managers is their biggest asset and competitive advantage. Their team intuitively understand our energy trading business and the unique IT challenges we face in trying to meet evolving derivative regulatory changes. The effectiveness of their software used in our organization reflects their sophisticated philosophical approach to prioritizing flexible and scale appropriate IT solutions for real business needs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Manager - Gas and Power Market Operations Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I have had a wonderful experience with this software and the people behind it." March 4, 2018 5.0 There is nothing that I do not like about the software but I also have realistic expectations. K3 offers a wide variety of adapters and a platform that can easily move data between systems. If a company has an in-house created system and/or has specific requirements, then no solution is going to work out of the box. If you have this challenge, the key is to work a development team and platform that can easily adapt. BroadPeak has this experience, and K3 is flexible enough to allow for this. Pros BroadPeak offloads the setup, maintenance and support from the local IT team to them. Having a hosted integration platform promotes cohesion, supportability and the ability to easily add new interfaces. The cost is worth it as creating an in-house solution requires specific skills (higher employee costs) and can lead to poorly designed desperate solutions (multiple interfaces written in various languages and styles by different employees over time). Integration maintenance costs can be high when systems on either side are upgraded and changed; this is especially the case with exchanges like ICE and CME that frequently upgrade. This challenge is easily solved with a company BroadPeak performing the work. Review Source DP Drew P. Director of Operations and Data Sales Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We were very impressed by the capabilities of K3" March 2, 2018 5.0 Pros If you work with several different FCMs, brokers, exchanges, software providers and data vendors, then you need K3. And even if you don't but you want a simple tool for great value to integrate several pieces of data together, then you need K3. Their ability to integrate data into a single database that is easy to manage is unbeatable. Also, while maintaining reasonable cost structures, they offer all of the services of a team of in house developers along with the upkeep after implementation. They are quick to deploy and with their deep understanding of business and IT challenges, can have you up and running in days.
