Aiven has consistently given our team database management superpowers
What do you like best about the product?
Zero downtime upgrades, database forking, point-in-time recovery, multi-replica deployments, added services marketplace. Aiven has been rock solid and predictable. Focus on core products and services is also greatly appreciated!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a distinct lack of out-of-the-box alerting policies. It's possible to send logs into centralized storage, but the value of Aiven is opinionated defaults, not making customers figure out how to monitor their databases properly. This seems to be low hanging fruit that should be straightforward to address.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven has allowed us to consolidate all of our HA database hosting needs with backup and disaster recovery mechanisms that we can rely on without ongoing maintenance.
Love it!
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use. The console UI is very clean and it's easy to find everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't think I dislike anything in particular.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's allowing us to provide realtime updates to our end user.
Aiven provides reliable and easy to use experience for a Kafka cluster.
What do you like best about the product?
persoanlly I like the partition information about size, offset etc.
But the general User experience was good.
But the general User experience was good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I experienced several network disconnection from the cluster during the cluster upgrade
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
having a feature like KSQL might be a huge benefit for users, IMO.
Smooth stability and easy maintainability
What do you like best about the product?
- Not having to take care of complicated infra by ourselves
- Aiven console
- Aiven console
What do you dislike about the product?
- It would be nice to be able to decode protobuf messages straight from Aiven console
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven for Apache Kafka is acting as a message queue in our event driven architecture.
eFishery review
What do you like best about the product?
the high availability, the performance and also the response from the aiven team (SLA for response)
What do you dislike about the product?
the static configuration that prevent because of the security reason, we actually want to move our DWH to aiven but because of limitation of the configuration so we decide on makes on our server
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
performance and high availability, we want to solve the problem about the load and have a lot of productivity, also makes our much more productive, and our business performance is increased
Great and easy to set up and use
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use of Aiven makes it great for a new person to learn and setup very fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
The billing is quite high and I did not get a chance to try it out before having to get a billed account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem we had was the lack of a tool to create ad hoc databases to query on a one-off basis.
Well made UI but lack of flexibility in access rights
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to create new clusters and enable connectivity with public cloud environments, also user management is quite simple which makes it easy to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that there is a lack of access rights for user management. We can either grant user read-only which gives him too little permissions or we can grant him developer, which gives him too much permissions in the Aiven Kafka Console. Since we are controlling everything via IaC, we cannot grant users anything more then read-only, but with that they cannot really "read" 99% of the stuff like see topics or schema content or on the other hand in INT or lower envirnomnets we cannot grant them to see passwords of users or check ACL's in the console. Granularity is missing badly :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is giving us possibility to use it as central messaging BUS from multiple on-prem or public cloud systems and we can process them and forward them to systems as per requirement
Satisfied so far with technical side - UI can be better
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity. Working with aiven is straightforward and doesn't include any underwater currents. The documentation is excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is not optimized for small screens (13 inch laptop), and generally, can be more "smooth". Takes some time to get used to it, and it still not very convenient.
Kafka connectors are not restarting if there were no configuration change, even when I press the button - some status icon (spinning wheel) would greatly contribute to useability.
UI for connectors can be better. (https://console.aiven.io/project/stg-eu/services/replicator/connectors)
There is no buttons to jump to configuration from there, probbaly will be much better if we have unified view for connector with "tasks" section etc.
Use case - I open multiple connectors for debugging with "ctrl +click" from the list menu so they will be separate windows.
Right now I have to copy paste link on list view and then click the button "edit configuration" separately on all of them -
suggestion - all the views to have URIs which could be accessed directly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CDC data capture scenarios
Still not in production, but super nice experience
What do you like best about the product?
Communication was super seamless. Every time we need support Aiven team is just a message away. For example, in the PoC phase, we were looking for some on-demand thing to help us with the journey, and the team was always there to support us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably documentation around complex problems would be interesting. For example, we want to connect two clouds with Aiven, and yes, there were some architecture diagrams provided, but I think when the use case is not so straightforward and Aiven has already solved it with previous clients, it's better to have detailed solution descriptions on the same.

Event sourcing and CDC with multiple clouds
