What do you like best about Aiven for OpenSearch?

The graphical interface is really easy to use.

The "getting started" documentations is straigthforward and contains example for a lot of different languages which is cool because I use the solution from multiple languages.

The cluster is quick to bootsrap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aiven for OpenSearch?

The monitoring capabilities is limited to Influxdb/Grafana, and there is no default grafana dashboard so we have to build our own.

There is a way to get a Prometheus endpoint but as we don't have Prometheus it's not a solution for us.

Maybe a way to open the JMX port to enable more external integration will be a good addons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aiven for OpenSearch solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Kafka for asynchronous messaging inside our customer repository. It allow us to decouple parts of our application (data synchronization between component, search indexation). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aiven for OpenSearch?

One of the best things about Aiven for OpenSearch is how effortless it makes the setup and management of clusters. Compared to other services like AWS OpenSearch, Aiven stands out with its straightforward interface and quick deployment. It takes care of the backend work, like scaling and backups, so you can focus on using OpenSearch rather than managing it. The transparent pricing is a big plus, too—no hidden costs or surprises, which makes budgeting easier. Plus, the support team is responsive and genuinely helpful, which is reassuring when handling complex data needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aiven for OpenSearch?

One downside with Aiven for OpenSearch is that it can feel a bit limiting in customization compared to AWS, especially for those who prefer fine-tuning every aspect of their cluster setup. While Aiven’s simplicity is a strength, it may lack some of the advanced configuration options that power users or those with very specific requirements might need. Additionally, Aiven’s pricing, though transparent, can still be on the higher side for small projects or startups when compared to some alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aiven for OpenSearch solving and how is that benefiting you?

We’re using Aiven for OpenSearch to power the search and data retrieval functionalities in our chatbot.

Plus, Aiven's performance and reliability make it ideal for handling the high demand and real-time response needs of a chatbot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aiven Platform?

Aiven is a fantastic platform for getting up and running as quickly as possible. The cost is very competitive and flexible. The number of database options covers nearly all of our development and POC use cases. It is very easy to provision and to tear down and integrating with our existing development tooling is very simple, and we do not have to worry about usage, egress overages while prototyping and rapidly proving out MVP value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aiven Platform?

Some parts are not as customizable and easy to use as I would like, such as managing static IP addresses, customizing environment variables or config settings, and some features that are available in the tool do not seem to be available in Aiven, for example, with Clickhouse, not all of the secondary storage and remote table engines were compatible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aiven Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aiven is giving us a very fast and simple way to provision development databases that are fully compatible with our existing tooling and production environments. In addition to OpenSearch and PSQL, we have also tried Aiven Grafana and Aiven for ClickHouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The logs are not very useful since you can't easily search or filter. it would be nice to be able to search/filter through your different services. The metrics overview is just a large list of charts and does not let you choose what you want to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kyle Buzzell of Aiven for OpenSearch

Glad to hear you're getting what you need from our platform!

We will be adding topics UI in the future. In the meantime, you can use other open source tools such as Landoop topics UI, to connect to Aiven Kafka to view data in topics.

Just note that you will need a Business plan or higher to accomplish this. Here's an example of how you'd accomplish it:

$ docker pull landoop/kafka-topics-ui

$ docker run --rm -it -p 8000:8000 \

-e "KAFKA_REST_PROXY_URL=https://avnadmin:password@your-kafka-service.aivencloud.com:rest-port" \

-e "PROXY=true" \

landoop/kafka-topics-ui

Thanks for the feedback!
