Everything is easy to use. I don't have to go searching through a confusing series of menus to find what I want; everything I use most frequently is just a click away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not being able to see the events in a given topic through the dashboard. This isn't the end of the world since I can just use a program like Kadeck to view events, but it would be nice to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the fact of having a web based app to browse the topics and environments. Accessing user groups, partitions...
Intuitive for basic use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The secured access is not explained easily and also the no easy access to list messages on a topic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use to get onboard and also the migration capabilities of Aiven. Single click Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It isn't quite the same as setting up your own kafka on your servers you host. Many parameters were not available like being able to load custom kafka connectors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having a nice interface with really good options to better configure and setup kafka topics and so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I struggled a bit at first to reset an offset from a topic, since we had all those good options I thought there was an easier way of doing that, but yeah, you can always make use of the confluence platform to do it directly through its interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to setup and integration with Avro, which we use for building schemas for data serializer. Also very easy to get it initially up and running, view, frontend interfaces, very clear and logical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The validation for the Avro schema in Avro interface is frontend-level. Perhaps it would be a nice idea to prevent sending an invalid Avro schema when calling Aiven API directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The technical reliability with Aiven is fantastic. In the rare case that something does go wrong, one can count on Aiven putting their best foot forward in support situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Aiven is still an up and coming provider and there are rough edges being solved over time. For more total or exotic use cases that could present a problem with lead time, as you might have to negotiate the needed features being implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple set up and monitoring. Can easily understand what is happening in Kafka because we have easy visibility into the different topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Until now, everything works pretty well tbh.
It's a little expensive, but that's about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The support of Aiven helped us several times, solving a lot of our doubts and issues. They always respond very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We didn't experience any problem yet. Everything is just working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to get started with Kafka. Nice GUI that was easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fixed Puclic IP of Kafka Connect for white listening purposes would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have managed kafka before and aiven gets the hassle out of rebalancing and stuff out of the loop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's no support for signalfx which I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
