"Time saving solution"

**Overall:** Rock solid, great value for money. We will never go back to self-hosted Kafka :)

**Pros:** Great documentation, very comprehensive integrations.

**Cons:** The built in log feature is very basic, although it can integrate with more complete products.

**Reasons for Switching to Aiven for Apache Kafka:** Easier upgrades, monitoring and security.
