Great product and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The overview tab is very useful to find important information quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes too many steps to look at the event messages and have to go through the steps again to look at it after navigating away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to look at the Kafka event stream to see if it is online and events are coming through.
All in one Kafka management
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven for Apache Kafka allows us to manage our Kafka instance very well. We have smooth topic creation with most of the customisations. Also it provides a UI to produce messages, view the messages, partitions, consumer lag in real time
What do you dislike about the product?
Improvements can be showing timestamp in the header of each message since that data is already there in Kafka. Navigation to topics, info, messages can be improved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Event driven approach is being solved by Aiven and we are able to process events without any hindrance to the data flow. Any data transfer isn't lost because we are abke to reprocess the error events easily through Aiven
Quick Connect to Kafka
What do you like best about the product?
The setup was very easy and quick. It even provide integration snippets that re very helpfull and the support team is one of the quickest to respond.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing can be more competitive and the loging can be improved. The RBAC and dashboard stability has to be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining atraditional Kafka vm or container is a mess. The monitoring and downtime handling is difficult. It solves this problem.
Service that is worth trying

Simple setup did work out of the box with no troubles

Most of my team's problems were related to keys management, they never got addressed or were addressed slowly

What do you dislike about the product?
Downsides, though not critical:
- The pricing structure can be a bit confusing to navigate, which may lead to unexpected costs
- The documentation for the service could be more comprehensive, which can make it harder for beginners to get started

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication between microservices in the form of messages and construction of ETL pipelines. Reliable place to send events to, so they don't get lost even if the producer or consumers are temporarily offline.
Humble but honest tool for Kafka
What do you like best about the product?
This tool is not something overloaded with features. I have used many tools for various purposes around software development, it's not like datadaodge where unexperienced user would be overwhelmed with options and colors. The user interface is friendly, the most important things you need are available for user to see. Great thing is schema comparator, works like good old JSON Formatter
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think it's something on Aiven side although I noticed that sometimes site is not responding and topics are loading very very slow, but like I said, might be caused by the fact the infrastructure I work with is enourmous. There is a thing though that I notices inconvenient. When trying to fetch messages the UI loads them (sometimes I get timeout, but that's fine) although then it is impossible to perform any search and it might be that you need to manually click thorough hundrets of nodes to look for something
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving communication in microservices architecture type system. Using messages is beneficial for ensuring close to real time reaction to action performed and also storing real time state of objects
Happy with the features & services from Aiven
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven Kafka provides a great UI for visualising all the Kafka features in a single place. Flexible updates with prior notifications from the team. Quite easy communication with the support staff for any queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Aiven should improve on providing the user access for different organisations. Also they must think upon providing a free version for the users to play around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides a great and easily understandable UI to manage all the kafka services at one place. We have hosted our kafka topics on Aiven.
