$0 starting costs for evaluating with a usable amount of storage, whilst not appropriate for us at the moment, this is a real plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docs are insufficiently clear about the difference between AWS RDS SQL and using Aiven, takes some reading to work it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

the static configuration that prevent because of the security reason, we actually want to move our DWH to aiven but because of limitation of the configuration so we decide on makes on our server Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zero downtime upgrades, database forking, point-in-time recovery, multi-replica deployments, added services marketplace. Aiven has been rock solid and predictable. Focus on core products and services is also greatly appreciated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a distinct lack of out-of-the-box alerting policies. It's possible to send logs into centralized storage, but the value of Aiven is opinionated defaults, not making customers figure out how to monitor their databases properly. This seems to be low hanging fruit that should be straightforward to address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really easy to use and well-implemented way to run PostgreSQL without headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I can complain about is that I had to manually calculate the time offset for our maintenance window, which is a totally minor issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to navigate the user interface, especially how easy it is to set up a local connection to a remote database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, there isn't anything about Aiven that I dislike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have already used the service prior to professional use during a group work assignment at the university. The ease of setup and getting things started is what drew me in the first place to Aiven. The hassle-free setup of a database instance, the pre-configured backups as well as the transparent pricing are that make the service a valuable companion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As for now, works like charm. Nothing to complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
