Aiven simplifies Kafka cluster management with multi-cloud flexibility and responsive support.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like how quickly I can launch and manage Kafka clusters using the clean console or Terraform support. The documentation is clear, the integrations are smooth, and the human support team actually solves problems. It saves me hours that I would have wasted on setup and maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike most about Aiven for Apache Kafka is how quickly the cost can increase once you start scaling. Some integrations are not as smooth as expected and certain advanced metrics feel limited compared to a self-managed setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven solves the grunt work of Kafka ops so I can run a real time credit scoring pipeline. I ingest card swipes, wallet top ups, and app telemetry into topics like transactions.v1 and behavioral_events.v1. Schema Registry keeps producers and consumers in sync. Feast jobs publish to features.v1. The scoring service reads scoring.requests, fetches features, calls my FastAPI model, and writes a decision to scoring.decisions plus an audit record to scoring.audit. Kafka Connect ships audits to S3 and Postgres. ACLs and VPC peering keep data private. I manage clusters, topics, and partitions with Terraform and can scale for payday spikes without babysitting brokers. The result is faster approvals, traceable decisions for compliance, and far less Ops overhead. I spend time improving the model, not patching brokers.

Aiven makes working with Kafka so much easier
Reviewed on Aug 08, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. I do not have to spend hours setting up or maintaining Kafka — Aiven handles all that in the background. Scaling is simple, the dashboard is easy to use, and if I ever get stuck, their support team actually responds quickly and knows what they’re doing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I haven’t run into anything I’d call a real downside so far. Everything has been very smooth, from setup to daily use, and it’s worked exactly as I expected. I always find such this kind of tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven for Apache Kafka takes away the hassle of running Kafka myself. I don’t have to deal with server setup, scaling, or keeping things running — it’s all handled in the background. That saves me a lot of time and lets me focus on building features. It’s been reliable so far, and having that peace of mind means I can move faster without worrying about the infrastructure.

Reliable Managed Kafka Solution with Excellent Uptime and Support
Reviewed on Aug 07, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven makes it incredibly easy to set up and manage Apache Kafka without the usual operational headaches. The user interface is clean and intuitive, and provisioning a cluster takes just a few clicks. I really appreciate the automated backups, high availability, and seamless scaling. Their documentation is solid, and the support team is responsive and knowledgeable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing can be a bit on the higher side, especially for smaller teams or startups that are just getting started with Kafka. While the platform offers great value, having more flexible pricing tiers or pay-as-you-go options would make it more accessible. Also, some advanced configuration options are limited compared to managing Kafka on your own infrastructure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven for Apache Kafka eliminates the operational complexity of managing Kafka clusters ourselves. We no longer have to worry about infrastructure provisioning, monitoring, patching, or scaling—Aiven handles all of that. This allows our team to focus more on building data-driven features and integrating real-time streaming into our applications without getting bogged down by DevOps tasks. It’s saved us time, reduced operational risk, and improved our overall system reliability.

Quite a user-friendly and easy-to-learn interface with full control over the service.

What do you like best about the product?
Convenient in setting up a service and configuring options in a well-organized UI interface with clear descriptions. Easily learned. We can monitor the service in full access over its functionalities. Afterall, 1 month free plan to its features truly brings the user into the core of its potential and how the service can combine its ease of use to a variety of Kafka's nature.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be better if there's a terminal portal or similar user instruction guide to manage broker from a command line interface in correspondence with built-in Kafka commands. Default retention policies for messsages and their offsets should be displayed in a dedicated page or panel where users can modify freely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since I mainly use the service for my personal projects, I find myself difficult to set up my own Kakfa brokers and related servers in one simple step. And this is where Aiven's Apache Kafka takes the credit. Just a few clicks and configurations from server-side with accurate mapping of environment variables on my client side source-code and I'm good to go. I can shift all my concentration on the code's behavior and application workflow instead of spending a long time getting ready for any painful Kafka deployment.

What do you like best about the product?
Setting up Kafka your Kafka cluster can be very painful and timeconsuming. With help of Aiden this an be easily achieveable. Meanwhile it integration such as Kakfa connect, Kafka stream makes easily for different usecase.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though Aiven has made setup Apacka Kafka easier since it is managed service provided cost for using kafka can easily scale up with gradual increase in you kafka consumtion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Apache Kafka as event stream. So we are developing backend for diffrent games, to build use profile based on game events we are publishing all our games event happening in kafka. We are using Aiven flink for buiding real time user profile based on these events.
