What do you like best about Aiven Platform?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aiven Platform?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aiven Platform 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aiven for PostgreSQL?

I've found Aiven's support for Postgres to be much more full-featured than other platforms provide. The uptime and operational stability is (IMO) best in class for postgres, much better than you get from e.g. RDS. I love that it comes stock with a much wider set of postgres extensions than you get from other cloud providers - being able to opt in to using Timescale or PostGIS when you need to is key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aiven for PostgreSQL?

My minor complaint is that I'm a Pulumi IAC user and I'd like for Aiven to have better support for Pulumi, so that we could spin up infrastructure from within our IAC tool of choice. Ultimately though this isn't the most major deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The stability and uptime guarantees that Aiven provides allows our team to not have to hire a postgres DBA to use our database. It's really beneficial because we put some serious load on postgres and it's great that we still don't have to hire someone just for this need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
