    Computer Software

Easy to get started managed Kafka

  • August 23, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It was straightforward to get a cluster started and get a proof of concept working. Also, the all-inclusive billing model is great when trying to determine costs for budget planning. The UI was easy to use and the sales/support was great in helping us get started.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main thing that it didn't have versus some of the other services we evaluated was the number of built-in connectors. For example having support for a Kafka Connect Lambda Sink would have been beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are looking to create an event-driven architecture using Kafka as the mechanism to do that.

There are some differences between original Kafka & Aiven Kafka experiences, including the management way, etc.
But it's okay to have these differences, just need time to adapt to them.
