Difference between spring cloud config server vs consul?

I am confused when to use spring cloud config server and consul. Both will read configurations files in their own ways. Can you please let me know when use spring cloud config server and when to use consul?

Both serve configuration from remote servers to spring boot applications. Config Server aggregates configuration from multiple sources: git, svn, sql databases, vault and credhub. Spring Cloud Consul serves configuration to boot apps directly from the consul key-value store. If you already have consul in your infrastructure, it would simplify things by not having to run config server.
