Simple and intuitive for what I need to do about 99% of the time. It doesn't take a tutorial to do the basics and necessary things required. Compared to confluent this was much easier to jump into and do what I need to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It works well for simple things, but for more complex queries it does not. Searching for existing messages and being able to copy the message as a raw json would be a great addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support ticket that is frustating, no live chat in case of outage,
However we have a slack connection with aiven so, it's not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease to configure the roles and access controls. Very easy to create topic and gives you a hollistic view of configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some spaces takes a lot of time to load, for example user profiles takes a lot of time to load. Sometimes, when you are trying to see the members for projects, it takes a lot more time to render list of 50 users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of management. Decrease in amount of manual effort required to manage Kafka. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of control and access to Kafka brokers and ability to manually change the infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple to deploy. Simple to scale. Integrates well to our monitoring services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of backup/restore possibilities. Would like an option to at least have transaction logs (backup/restore option) for specific topics that requires retention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For my use case, it's the dashboard, it helps me to debug issues easier when setting up a new project which uses Kafka, and also helps me to investigate issues like consumer lags, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing to dislike, but I wish I had more advanced debugging tools like filtering messages in a topic. features like `trubka` cli provides, I know it might not be relevant in large scale, but at least having tools to make life easier for these kind of investiagtions is good.

Example of client source code in various languages, friendly UI, easy explorer features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is hard to connect from the local environment and requires a cert file that's hard to implement in the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Aiven for Apache Kafka allows us to manage our Kafka instance very well. We have smooth topic creation with most of the customisations. Also it provides a UI to produce messages, view the messages, partitions, consumer lag in real time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Improvements can be showing timestamp in the header of each message since that data is already there in Kafka. Navigation to topics, info, messages can be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
