Performs much better than traditional databases, integrates well and lot of learning resources available

It improved the performance. For example, data structures like hashmaps in Redis make it a very fast database – much faster than traditional SQL databases. It can perform at significantly higher speeds. Latencies are very low. Our primary focus wasn't on saving money but on improving performance for that specific feature. So, performance has been the key improvement. Every calculation happened in real time. It improved the performance 10X. In our company, we have limited resources, so we can't manage the database ourselves. We use services from Azure for that. So, Redis integrates well with those services. We use Azure Cache for Redis.

A reasonably priced product that offers good speed and seamless support

Currently, I can't think of any areas that require improvement because SingleStore was recently launched in the market. The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings. The current SingleStore model provides output based on the RANK function. If a user searches for a liquor bottle, then with all the data the product has, it will search for the liquor bottle in the data, and based on a match, the product has an algorithm to rank the product because of which the paragraph that has the best match will be ranked as a 100, the next one as 99, following which the next product will be ranked as 98 and so on. The output from the solution will fetch you all the 100 products that are available in a store, but sometimes a user might require a product with a 97 or 98 percent match from the DB, meaning the product doesn't always work to provide a 100 percent match, an area I feel that can be optimized in the product. Currently, SingleStore's features are excellent as it can read documents, images, and everything. The product works seamlessly for me.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Redis is better tested and is used by large companies. I haven't found a direct alternative to what Redis offers. Plus, there are a lot of support and learning resources available, which help you use Redis efficiently."

"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."

"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."

"The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable."

"It is particularly efficient for cloud-based storage and operations."

"The solution is fast, provides good performance, and is not too expensive."

"The best thing about Redis is its ability to handle large amounts of data without frequently hitting the database. You can store data in temporary memory, especially for high-volume data."

"I find Redis valuable primarily for its caching capabilities, particularly in handling cache requests effectively. Its simplicity in managing key-value pairs for caching is one of its strengths, making it a preferred choice over more complex databases like MongoDB for specific use cases. However, I haven't explored Redis extensively for managing complex data structures beyond caching, as MongoDB might be more suitable for such scenarios."

More Redis pros

"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."

"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."

"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."

"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."

"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."

"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."

Cons

"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."

"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."

"The solution's pricing for a local installation is very expensive."

"Redis could improve its efficiency in handling locally stored data, not just Amazon Cloud or Google Cloud."

"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."

"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."

"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."

"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."

More Redis cons

"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."

"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."

"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."

"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."

"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."

"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."

"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Redis is an open-source product."

"Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees."

"The tool is open-source. There are no additional costs."

"Redis is not an overpriced solution."

"We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster."

"I would advise users to try the free 128GB version."

"SingleStore is a bit expensive."

"The price of the product is okay compared to the other available solutions in the market. SingleStore is a reasonably priced product, considering the functions it offers."

"Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure."

"They have two main options: cloud installation and bare-metal installation, each with different pricing models."

"The product's licensing is not expensive. It is comparable."

Overview

Redis is a high-performance, scalable, and easy-to-use caching solution that improves application performance. It is also used for session management, real-time analytics, and as a message broker.

Redis's valuable features include its ability to handle large amounts of data quickly, its simplicity and straightforward setup process, and its support for various data structures, providing flexibility for different use cases.

SingleStore enables organizations to scale from one to one million customers, handling SQL, JSON, full text and vector workloads — all in one unified platform.
