ClickHouse Reviews

I do not use the tool myself. Our developers and data analysts use it. 

The tool's most valuable feature is a database. It supports portal APIs and offers good flexibility. While it may not be the best on the market, it is the best open-source solution we have tried. It has a development community and good documentation, though not all is published. 

The tool's integration with other tools is not complex. We use it alongside Kafka and Tableau. 

I have been using the product for four years. 

Every customer I've worked with over the past few years uses ClickHouse, including many Russian companies and those related to Russia.

I have some experience talking with the tech support team. It was an open-source project at one point, so I used community resources for help. The best way to communicate with them was through their program channel, which had support available in both English and Russian.

Regarding the initial installation, setup, and deployment, I can say it's easy for someone with my engineering skills. I prefer managing the installation myself rather than relying on out-of-the-box solutions.

ClickHouse is good for analytics. Using ClickHouse is beneficial if you understand its specific purpose and advantages. Many engineers and developers mistakenly think it is an alternative to AWS databases like Postgres or MySQL, but it's not. ClickHouse has a different architecture and purpose, primarily excelling at analytical queries rather than traditional CRUD operations.

If you join our team, it should be easy for you to use ClickHouse, especially if you are a developer. However, you need to read the documentation and understand the problems you are trying to solve. As an infrastructure engineer, it shouldn't be hard either.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
