Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/7/2023 "Great Platform for Super Fast Setup, Prototype, and Proving out MVP, Use Cases" 5/5 What do you like best about Aiven for PostgreSQL? 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.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aiven for PostgreSQL? 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.

Before signing upto Aiven, i had a video chat with 2 of the Aiven team who went through how to setup an account through to creating a new postgresql database and where to find the settings, logging etc. Since the video chat, i have now signed up Aiven and created a new database very quickly and was up and running firing a migration to a test database within a few minutes. When platforms generally say something is easy, take a few minutes i am scepticle, but Aiven was true to their word, it was very easy to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aiven for PostgreSQL? Have not found anything not to like with Aiven as yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aiven for PostgreSQL solving and how is that benefiting you? We currently have an On-Premise database server which feeds an internal billing system and customer facing website. So moving the database to Aiven removes the database server. We also needed a service that was managed to eliminate the need and worry about patching and maintenance and having an Australian Region here in Sydney was a bonus aswell as local support by people nit bots.
