A Smooth, User-Friendly Alternative to AWS OpenSearch with affordable pricing for small industries.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best things about Aiven for OpenSearch is how effortless it makes the setup and management of clusters. Compared to other services like AWS OpenSearch, Aiven stands out with its straightforward interface and quick deployment. It takes care of the backend work, like scaling and backups, so you can focus on using OpenSearch rather than managing it. The transparent pricing is a big plus, too—no hidden costs or surprises, which makes budgeting easier. Plus, the support team is responsive and genuinely helpful, which is reassuring when handling complex data needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside with Aiven for OpenSearch is that it can feel a bit limiting in customization compared to AWS, especially for those who prefer fine-tuning every aspect of their cluster setup. While Aiven’s simplicity is a strength, it may lack some of the advanced configuration options that power users or those with very specific requirements might need. Additionally, Aiven’s pricing, though transparent, can still be on the higher side for small projects or startups when compared to some alternatives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’re using Aiven for OpenSearch to power the search and data retrieval functionalities in our chatbot. OpenSearch helps us index and search large datasets efficiently, allowing the chatbot to deliver fast, relevant responses to user queries. The managed nature of Aiven’s OpenSearch service lets us focus on refining the chatbot’s conversational abilities without worrying about scaling, uptime, or backend maintenance. Plus, Aiven's performance and reliability make it ideal for handling the high demand and real-time response needs of a chatbot.

Primarily, that it is another platform that we have to manage, and it can get pricey, quickly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is giving us the ability to easily scale our Postgres servers.
Great service for SQL database

It was very user-friendly for students and equipped with many useful tools. I also appreciated the feature that reminded me to turn off the service when not in use, promoting resourcefulness and mindfulness in managing projects.

I haven't actually had any problem using Aiven.

It helped have a cloud SQL server, that allowed me to have the best project on my class.
An easy solution to use for Kafka

Convenience and ease of use would strike me as the striking feature.

Too expensive for me especially if you are an up and coming business, can not compete with rivals

If you would like to have things maintained for you and do not want to tackle with resource allocation, performance etc... It is a good option.

We used managed services with Aiven

We used mongo and kafka managed services from Aiven. Things are quick. Ochestration has done with in few clicks. No need to worry about monitoring and all everything is self-managed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data transfer charges between cloud accounts are a thing to worry. Need to check it further

We got a managed kafka cluster. Managing a cluster on on-prem with having critical data is a huge task and need more bandwidth but Aiven made it easy
aiven is amazing

easy to use and makes managing kafka smooth.
What do you dislike about the product?
lags sometimes when the internet is slow

fantastic open-source search and analytics suite including a search engine, NoSQL document database, and visualization interface.
Good product and Easy use
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven is very easy to use and deploy (in our cloud if needed). Their support is good and helpful. They will give us right docs and reference for BYOA too. It is easy to spin up the services and manage users. Pricing is straight forward.
Implementing the communication with Aiven services is almost same with services which we self host or use.
We are using it in production for more than 2 years and it is working well.

What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like bit pricy (Even with BYOA, Instance and storage cost interms of Initial setup cost. Instead of just having double the infra in plans, they can inroduce more adjustable plans to have infra scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven is hosting major open-source products/services to easily add to our infra in a cloud agnostic way. I can easily spin up the service and start using it.
An evolving product
What do you like best about the product?
The services are straight forward to configure, theres a lot of documentation which helps one resolve doubts, however if this is not enough one can reach customer support to ask for guidance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two features missing which i found relevant they are governance tools and the Pay-as-you-use pricing model. I think that implementing these 2 things will create a more valuable product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a managed cluster it provides the running service with its infrastructure which is very valuable for us as we can focus on improving our event oriented architecture and team integration. Also cluster updates and administration is something we need to concern less.
