Step by step backups are awesome. Several times saved my life by going pack some minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Postgress user management should be easier, now have to do it in the command line Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- VPC peering feature within cloud provider
- Database pooling feature
- High Availability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- No download logs button for downloading a log for specific time frame
- Integration with external (non-aiven) elasticsearch for log streamings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fully managed services. Before I would have to setup Elasticsearch or Redis on our own cluster, and setup all the backing up myself. Also I mainly switched because that's the only way I could have a fully managed PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB extension. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Pricing is a little on the heavy side. I think you guys run on 2x (100%) margin on top of the raw Cloud Costs. Which is understandable, I don't know how much work has went into developing your products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very easy to set up, and the control panel helps you a lot on setting up the basics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm using Postgres, the control panel could be more advanced, making account management and permissions easier for your databases. I can manage that myself via queries, but that's not as easy.
Also I'm experiencing some speed problems. Even though the database is in the same region on Google Cloud, as my kubernetes cluster is, my php responses take close to 1 second, where that locally is no more than 100ms. I'm not sure yet where the problem is as the Aiven dashboard is showing quick query responses. Further investigation required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ease of use, option of cloud providers, access management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
can't rename a project, missing axis labels in metrics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clean interface, minimalist design, easy to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No (obvious) query interface or easy way to see schema (that I could find). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very detailed ticket resolution about how problems have been solved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of night mode in the UI, currently in a dark room it is blinding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is great. I like how easy it is to perform fork and restore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not enough control when there is an issue or outage. This makes sense because most of the heavy lifting is hidden from the end user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Place in time restores
- Database forks
- Read-only replicas Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mainly that this isn't the default GCP PostgreSQL. Sorry but it's nice when all your stuff is in one place (or at least a reduced amount of places). I wonder if there's some kind of aggregating console service out there... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry, Aiven is not part of Google or GCP :)
One benefit is that you can choose any cloud you'd like to use with our PostgreSQL service. If you are looking to simplify your billing structure you might want to look into our our GCP marketplace offering https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/aiven-public/aiven
