Aerospike Database 7 vs Cassandra comparison

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

"The use of Cassandra in real-time data analytics has been pivotal for our e-commerce platform. As our platform operates 24/7, providing services to sellers and customers alike, the need for real-time updates is paramount."

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

"The most valuable feature of Cassandra is its fast retrieval. Additionally, the solution can handle large amounts of data. It is the quickest application we use."

"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."

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

"The most valuable features of Cassandra are its scaling capabilities and its non-SQL nature capabilities."

"The technical evaluation is very good."

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

"Interface is not user friendly."

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

"The disc space is lacking. You need to free it up as you are working."

"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."

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

"The secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."

"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."

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

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

"We pay for a license."

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

"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."

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