Aerospike Database 7 vs Cassandra comparison

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

"Cassandra is good. It's better than CouchDB, and we are using it in parallel with CouchDB. Cassandra looks better and is more user-friendly."

"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."

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

"Overall, I would rate Cassandra as nine because of its fast writes, which really suit our use cases mostly."

"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."

"The most valuable features of Cassandra are the NoSQL database, high performance, and zero-copy streaming."

"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."

"A consistent solution."

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

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

"The initial setup of Cassandra can be difficult in the configuration. There might be a need to have assistance. The implementation process can six months for connecting to certain databases."

"The solution is not easy to use because it is a big database and you have to learn the interface. This is the case though in most of these solutions."

"While Cassandra can handle NoSQL, I think there should be more flexibility for whole schema design when data is stored in wide columns. Additionally, I believe that eventual consistency should be enhanced."

"Batching bulk data can cause performance issues."

"There were challenges with the query language and the development interface. The query language, in particular, could be improved for better optimization. These challenges were encountered while using the Java SDK."

"Interface is not user friendly."

"We found some issues with the batch inserts when the data volume is large."

"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."

"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."

"We pay for a license."

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

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