  • December 04, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Aiven for Apache Kafka provides great UI for managing Kafka, from managing Kafka clusters, topics, consumer groups, and many configurations. It also supports multiple authentication, not only providing security but also a convenient way to interact with Kafka.

Their UI could be slow, especially when you have many things to manage. It's a trade-off for the great UI.

Managing the Kafka cluster is hard, and Aiven for Apache Kafka makes it easier for developers to manage it.

currently we use FluentD for writing business logs to s3 buckets, and there are some limitations to this solution.

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?

We have chosen Kafka to be the preffered event stream processing platform. It is essential for the performance of our business.

Easy and straight forward setup

  • October 11, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Being able to use terraform to setup the kafka and kafka connectors had been quite useful. Everything can be automated and scripted. We can upscale at ease
What do you dislike about the product?
The terraform library could be improve to avoid so many terraform lists for kafka components, etc. and instead use just mapped objects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I dont need to setup the whole kafka cluster and nodes and can be saved a lot of time doing it and mantaining it

An easy to use and very user friendly platform for any open source data connectivity

  • August 30, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It provides easy to configure steps, and I believe new users just like me will have no difficulties setting up their own platform on top. The flexibility offered also quite vast choices in terms of giving me lots of options to configure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the only thing I dislike is the positioning of options switches which is too far away from the description of the options. I guess this is only my opinion, but it would be even nicer / easier if the switches are put closer to the options descriptions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am planning to create a data mirrors which will act somewhat like a DR data to our on premise open databases. And Aiven provide just the right platform to do the test.
