Kafka Developer
What do you like best about the product?
The easy to use interface and the ability to provision topics as required. The User interface is better than most.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not enough analytics and tools to see what are the root cause of issues. "Is it us or Aiven?" These types of diagnostic tools would be really valuable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to not use our own DevOps teams to manage all the Kafka Brokers, Clusters, and Topics. The ease of use interface allows us to focus on business logic and building asynchronous systems.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. Haven't used it long enough to give valuable input here. Spontaneously I would say that the documentation could be more thorough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kafka applications that are solving crucial business problems and enabling us to utilise important business opportunities. It's obviously saving us a lot of time. It's quite flexible and the customer service is professional.
Aiven Kafka save my oncall life

What do you dislike about the product?
The connect doesn't integrate with Docker very well. So we use AWS ECS to host our connect service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven saves us operational, deploy, maintain cost. So we could spend the saved time on our core business logic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Aiven is easy to setup and use. Great for startup company to try out new ideas about real-time streaming without coding a lot.
Great to have a unified view in one place
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's easy to see consumer groups for each topic. Great sanity-check that ops are performing as expected.
What do you dislike about the product?
Should be more clear which topic you're acting on when you select "remove" - maybe even prompt to type in topic name before removal is possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're just starting to use kafka at work, but I've been using Aiven (along with Kadeck) to interact with / manipulate topics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get yourself a dark theme - the control panel's default CSS is very bright after a while.
Super easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use to get onboard and also the migration capabilities of Aiven. Single click
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't quite the same as setting up your own kafka on your servers you host. Many parameters were not available like being able to load custom kafka connectors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Highly available nodes with ease of migration
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The biggest benefit is the ability to migrate across cloud vendors in a single click. It's fantastic.
Super easy to use, no hassle Kafka
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is easy to use. I don't have to go searching through a confusing series of menus to find what I want; everything I use most frequently is just a click away.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to see the events in a given topic through the dashboard. This isn't the end of the world since I can just use a program like Kadeck to view events, but it would be nice to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently we've been mostly doing some testing and light development with Aiven but we intend to use this for all of our event-driven microservices in the future.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's definitely worth the money.
A Good Stable Kafka Platform
What do you like best about the product?
I've been running Kafka for a year in production now and it can be very complex to manage and recover if you ever find yourself in that that scenario. Aiven offers easy upgrade paths and the Avro schema library is still quite buggy in the console but solid when used within Kafka which is invaluable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Aiven console is quite buggy and lacks features for user management. We would like more granular control over the RBAC system but at the moment it seems to be admin or nothing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kafka is the core of out platform and to have it fully managed so we can focus on building the tech around it gives us great peace of mind.
first steps with aivrn kafka
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact of having a web based app to browse the topics and environments. Accessing user groups, partitions...
Intuitive for basic use.
Intuitive for basic use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The secured access is not explained easily and also the no easy access to list messages on a topic
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kafka was a solution chosen in our project to handle massive messages communications, aiven has made the use of kafka plateform easier
Easy to get started with Kafka
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to get started with Kafka. Nice GUI that was easy to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fixed Puclic IP of Kafka Connect for white listening purposes would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintanance of Kafka clusters. Creating POCs on Kafka which if you need to host the Kafka cluster yourself is much more time consusming.
