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

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.

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!

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!
