Offers good stability and information processing is very fast
Pros and Cons
- "It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology.
What needs improvement?
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. But no one provided a GUI, or maybe we didn't request it. I'm not sure. We just make use of it.
For how long have I used the solution?
My experience with this product has been very good.

Fast single-threaded solution for large datasets and effective concurrency management
What is our primary use case?
In the past, I used Redis as a cache, and currently, I'm using it as a messaging system.
How has it helped my organization?
Redis is pretty fast compared to others, making it a reliable choice. It's much more reliable and helps with our message broker functionalities.
What is most valuable?
Redis is a single thread, which is one of the key features I like. Redis is also pretty fast, and many of our use cases are satisfied with its single-threaded nature. This feature helps us manage concurrency effectively.
What needs improvement?
I don't think there's any room for improvement as it's been good for large-scale use and large datasets.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Redis for almost three years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't faced any issues from a performance, outage, or availability point of view. It's good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's very easy to scale up and scale down. I'd say it's highly scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I didn't get a chance to interact with their support team.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
What other advice do I have?
Use Redis wisely because it is a single-threaded tool. There was an issue we faced in the past where a query was not optimized, which impacted performance significantly.

An in-memory, key-value data store for fast access
Pros and Cons
- "The in-memory data makes it fast."
- "I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources."
What is our primary use case?
It was a classic caching use case. In my previous company, we were running MongoDB on the cloud, and we were running Redis for caching. We were just starting, so the data size was pretty small there.
How has it helped my organization?
We were caching the data, and it was helpful in terms of speed. It uses the key-value method for storing the data, and everything lives in memory, so it helps with the speed. Solutions such as Redis, or Memcached, are helpful for fast access.
What is most valuable?
The in-memory data makes it fast.
What needs improvement?
I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources. I believe as the Redis ecosystem grows, over time, there will be more adoption, and its community will grow. There will be more resources available for support and questions.
In terms of features, they are doing a good job and coming up with many new features, such as Redis Search. They have also introduced a new cloud service. However, I haven't used it much, and I'm not that familiar with the Redis ecosystem, so I don't have input on the features they need to build or improve.
What other advice do I have?
I'd rate it an eight out of ten because it did what I needed, and it did a good job. However, currently, not every product in the Redis ecosystem has a great community or great support.
