Aiven takes care of major overhead of managing a kafka cluster and provides seamless upgrades.
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to get started. It provides necessary observability in terms of cluster health and topic statistics.
What do you dislike about the product?
While we were doing the mandatory version upgrade, the upgrade wasn't zero downtime exactly. But restarting services at our end fixed the issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Aiven Kafka for our central message bus needs, and it has been remarkably reliable and efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have enjoyed my experience with Aiven Kafka so far. We have been using it in Production for more than a year now and have not faced any issues.

Good Kafka+Connect interface
What do you like best about the product?
Easy configuration interface, Kafka & connect integration feels seamless
What do you dislike about the product?
Loading times seem high at times.
For example, creating a new Kafka connect connector prompt takes a while sometimes.
Plus, topic deletion sometimes takes a while without changing anything UI wise, so the user presses the delete button several times

Aiven makes Apache Kafka simple!
What do you like best about the product?
Using AIven is the easiest way to try Apache Kafka. It saves me a lot of time and money, without thinking of setuping infrastructure and maintain it. It also has many integration, thanks to Kafka Connect. The cloud provider support is also really good. The interface is also really good and it is really easy to manage it by just using web interface. The 30 days trial is also really good and the credits is more than enough for playing around and trying Apache Kafka before using it in production, even though Aiven for Kafka is production ready.
What do you dislike about the product?
For some advanced usage, some features might not be available in Aiven. There is no way to integrate or connect to RabbitMQ. There is no storage addition to the service, make it hard to upgrade the storage without upgrading the service. I hope this feature will be supported soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think Aiven make it easy for me to learn and experience the Apache Kafka itself. It helps me to understand more how things work. We are migrating from RabbitMQ to Kafka, and using Aiven is giving us many benefits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for easy-to-use and has good support, Aiven for Apache Kafka is your best choice. The service has many features; even though you don't need all of them, it would be beneficial in the future. The pricing is also really fair, compared to the service they offer. You don't even need to think about your infrastructure. It offers you 30 day free trial without credit card, and I think it's really good offer.
