Great product, some issues pop up from time to time

  • December 10, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's very convenient, topics, schemas and offsets are very visible making working with Aiven very easy and comfortable
What do you dislike about the product?
There were occasionally some issues that resulted in data loss and that created a sense that we can't rely on Aiven 100% and that we should be very cautious on using Kafka on Aiven as true source of truth
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A very important slice of the company's infrastructure is abstracted and maintained by a very good service, freeing engineering time and reducing disaster possibilities

not stable enough

  • November 24, 2020

Aiven are involved with us, Karapace, networking
What do you dislike about the product?
Many accidents, wipeouts, they work hard but still stability remains an issue for us

main data source, stream processing

It was straightforward and hassel free

  • October 17, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Schema registry is easy to use compared to others
What do you dislike about the product?
Some times you can not find your way in UI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't deal with complexities of Mafiainning a local Kafka. Also it's concentrated in one place and this feature helps a lot. Just think how inconvenient it would be if you had to deal with several tools instead.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Save your time but using one of the online services instead of maintain Kafka internally. We always try to find good service providers online. Instead of adding that to the list of devops concerns.

The SAAS service is very good

  • September 30, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very helpful understanding schema versions, topics etc. Also the service uptime is great without major incidents recently.
What do you dislike about the product?
When the kafka nodes are updating the service becomes a bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a Saas kafka lets our engineers focus on maintaining and developing new features.


    Food Production

It's been an amazing experience. The UI is intuitive.

  • September 30, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI makes it very easy to interact...
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform constraints can be limiting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using a managed solution which allows us to focus on very important business value rather than battling platform issues around Kafka.

Working with Aiven has enabled us to iterate faster, provide easier access to our developers to interact with various entities.


    Broadcast Media

I think it works overall very well, with a great web gui that is easily understood!

  • August 31, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to browse around web interface and easily peek at topics, seeing performance and such.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if it was possible to actually trigger messages on topics, and peak at individual messages from topic in the web gui, but maybe that is already possible?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great to dont have to manage your own kafka!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and you'll never look back!
