"Stress-free database management"
4/5
What do you like best about Aiven for PostgreSQL?

As I developer, I'm proficient with interacting with databases and integrating them with our custom apps. However, I don't have a background in database hosting and management. Aiven bridges that gap and allows me to focus on what I'm good at, while handling the areas I lack experience with.

There have only been a few minor hiccups over the past few years, and their customer support stepped in to help quickly resolve the issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aiven for PostgreSQL?

Support can be somewhat pushy in regards to upgrading to the next tier of service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Focus on what matters"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Aiven for PostgreSQL?

Aiven solutions allow my team to quickly prototype ideas and test them, without having to worry about the "boring" stuff, like DBs maintenance.

At the same time Pro plans allow us to still use Aiven for mission critical parts of our product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aiven for PostgreSQL?

The metrics dashboards, at least for influx, should expose more metrics from the underlying service and computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An easy to use and very user friendly platform for any open source data connectivity"
5/5
What do you like best about Aiven for PostgreSQL?

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 for PostgreSQL?

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.
