Aerospike Database 7 vs Cassandra comparison

"It shows better compression and compaction, which is valuable."

"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."

"Our primary use case for the solution is testing."

"I am getting much better performance than relational databases."

"The most valuable features are the counter features and the NoSQL schema. It also has good scalability. You can scale Cassandra to any finite level."

"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."

"Since I haven't had years of experience with it, it's still new to me. One valuable feature is its distribution, so I can run it partly in the cloud and part on-prem. That's a feature I'd like to use but haven't yet because we're trying to move to Azure. I don't know if or when that will happen. Ideally, we'd have it distributed over the cloud and on-prem simultaneously, so if something happens to our on-prem, we can keep going in the cloud, like a pay-as-you-go model with Azure."

"Cassandra has some features that are more useful for specific use cases where you have time series where you have huge amounts of writes. That should be quick, but not specifically the reads. We needed to have quicker reads and writes and this is why we are using Cassandra right now."

"We can add almost one million columns to the solution."

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."

"Fine-tuning was a bit of a challenge."

"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."

"It can be difficult to analyze what's going on inside of the database relative to other databases. It can also be difficult to troubleshoot sometimes."

"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."

"Cassandra could be more user-friendly like MongoDB."

"Cassandra can improve by adding more built-in tools. For example, if you want to do some maintenance activities in the cluster, we have to depend on third-party tools. Having these tools build-in would be e benefit."

"Doesn't support a solution that can give aggregation."

"There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly."

"We use around half a TB of data and spend approximately $36,000 to $40,000 USD per year on Aerospike."

"I don't have the specific numbers on pricing, but it was fairly priced."

"I use the tool's open-source version."

"There are licensing fees that must be paid, but I'm not sure if they are paid monthly or yearly."

"We pay for a license."

"We are using the open-source version of Cassandra, the solution is free."

"Cassandra is a free open source solution, but there is a commercial version available called DataStax Enterprise."
