Satisfied with the Aiven Kafka services
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven provides a good console that accommodates all the kaha features at one place. Easy to navigate to different Kafka features and properties. Well managed and maintained. Support team is easily reachable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think a more easy access to the Aiven APIs for integrating it in the system would be helpful. A little more description of the APIs and the response fields would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides an excellent console to view and manage all the Kafka features and properties at a single place. Easy to navigate and use.

Robust event platform
What do you like best about the product?
From my experience the platform has been very robust and efficient. I do not remember ever, even during some exceptional situations a single event being lost or undelivered.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve for kafka has been quite steep at least form. But that is probably more related to the kafka itself than Aiven.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides robust backbone for the event driver architecture.
easy to start
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is very easy to set up and start using it with other services, e.g. PostgreSQL. Setup data pipeline from PostgreSQL through kafka-connect into bigquery is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have more metrics, especially in aiven UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to stream data from DB into data lake storage.
Makes Kafka an option for teams with limited devops resources
What do you like best about the product?
Fully managed solutions with upgrades that just work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price is high and may be prohibitive for some. Smaller instances or a pay-per-throughput/storage model may help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-time analytics, reliable processing. Kafka helps us ingest and analyze data without dataloss.
It just works. All the benefits without the hassle
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicty of connecting it with other services, such as Aiven for Apache Flink.
Getting the service set up and ready to go with a click of a button was very nice, having set it up manually once before.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have a problem that if kafka is slow or high cpu, my API´s sending to it start timing out.
It feels like i will need a pubsub in between my API and kafka to increase reliability

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streaming events into flink for aggregation and transformation, which significantly reduces the data down for us before we stream it into postgresSQL
Overall, quite satisfied with Aiven Kafka
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven manages the service, so we can use more time to help develop features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would have to say the price. After we migrated to Aiven the costs have increased.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven manages patching, upgrades, cluster configuration and other managent tasks. The benefit for us is that we don't have to invest in knowledge and time for this.
A good tool for kafka
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven is easy to use, provides the correct insights and helps understand how kafka is used.

Aiven helps us keep track of the messages and kakfa in general
Using Kafka instances

You don't need to provision your own kafka, Aiven saves your time.
It's kafka
