Provides quick query search and has a big database
I did not face any issues integrating Faiss with other tools. I would recommend the solution to other users. Faiss has facilitated my AI-driven project very well. I recommend that other users use it for their AI projects because it provides quick query search and has a big database. Overall, I rate the solution nine and a half out of ten.
Raghuram K M - PeerSpot reviewer
Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console
I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

Pros

"The product has better performance and stability compared to one of its competitors."
"I used Faiss as a basic database."
"The product is good for tuning."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"It's easy to use."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
 

Cons

"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."

"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."

"The user interface is not simple."
