Unmatched Performance and Scalability for Modern Applications

Redis has room for improvement in a few areas. Enhanced tools for managing and monitoring clusters would be beneficial, as would built-in security mechanisms like advanced encryption and granular access controls. Simplifying setup and configuration could make Redis more accessible to new users. Introducing more enterprise-grade features, such as better multi-tenancy support and improved backup and restore capabilities, would also be advantageous. For the next release, it would be great to see enhanced cluster management tools, native multi-region supports for better data redundancy, integrated analytics for deeper insights, AI and ML integration features, and improved developer experience through enhanced SDKs and tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."

"Redis is good for distributed caching management."

"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."

"The product offers fast access to my database."

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

"The in-memory data makes it fast."

"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."

More Redis pros

"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the ability to receive large aggregations at a very quick pace. The use case of subclusters is very good."

"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."

"Vertica is a columnar database where the query performance is extremely fast and it can be used for real-time integrations for API and other applications. The solution requires zero maintenance which is helpful."

"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."

"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."

"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."

"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."

"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."

More Vertica pros

Cons

"There are some features from MongoDB that I would like to see included in Redis to enhance its overall efficiency, such as the ability to perform remote behaviour. MongoDB is more efficient in handling updates than deletions and is quicker in processing updates, but it can be slower regarding deletions. This can sometimes pose a challenge, especially when dealing with large datasets or frequent data manipulations that involve deletions. In such cases, I often rewrite columns or update values instead of directly deleting data, as it can be more efficient."

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

"Redis presents a single point of failure and lacks fault tolerance."

"It's actually quite expensive."

"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."

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

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

"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."

More Redis cons

"Vertica seems to scale well, except for one use case where you are on a multi-node cluster. For example, if you had a nine-node cluster, one node goes down, then the eight nodes don't scale, because the absence of the node is very apparent, which is a problem. If you have nine nodes or multiple nodes, the whole idea is that if one of those nodes goes down, then you should not see an impact on the system if you have enough capacity. Even though we have enough capacity, you can still see the impact of the one node going down."

"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."

"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."

"I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."

"It needs integration with multiple clouds."

"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."

"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."

"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."

More Vertica cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Redis is an open-source product."

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

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

"Redis is not an overpriced solution."

"It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."

"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."

"The pricing could improve, it is a little expensive."

"The pricing for this solution is very reasonable compared to other vendors."

"The solution is relatively cost-effective."

"Vertica is an expensive tool."

"The first TB is free and you can use all the Vertica features. After 1TB you have to pay for licensing. The product is worth it, but be aware of this condition, and plan. The compression ratio is explained in the documentation."

"Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October)."
