I'm curious what makes you look into other solutions than Kowl then? :). We are happy to add anything that is desired in the community. Now that Kafka connect support is also there we will most likely just expand the existing features (e.g. adding, editing schemas etc.).

Disclaimer: I'm one of the Kowl authors. I do not intend to hijack that post for Kowl content though!

For ourselves, nothing really. For a customer: They really don't want to pay the licens once it is required, and they need ActiveDirectory authentication or KeyCloak. I've already been in contact with someone working on Kowl, and we're just waiting on OIDC support.

Really we just want an alternative to Kowl, if a customer asks for suggestions. For our own use, we plan on keeping Kowl.

UI for Apache Kafka supports OIDC (https://github.com/provectus/kafka-ui/blob/master/guides/SSO...) and basic authentication (https://github.com/provectus/kafka-ui/blob/683ab231f436893b3...)
