SDE-2 at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees
Managed analytics has freed our engineers to focus on real-time dashboards and deeper insights
Their best features include fully managed ClickHouse, their ClickHouse expertise, their customer support team, and the flexible deployment options they offer. Scaling is easier, and they provide multi-cloud support, allowing us to deploy on AWS, GCP, or Azure in any region. The biggest benefit and major difference created for our team comes from using their fully managed ClickHouse infrastructure, which eliminates the need to manage cluster provisioning, upgrades, backups, and monitoring ourselves. As a result, our team spends more time building analytics and dashboards while benefiting from a reliable, high-performance database with minimal operational overhead. Another valuable feature worth mentioning about Altinity.Cloud is their ClickHouse expertise; they are very skilled in how to optimize and how well we can extract performance from ClickHouse. Altinity.Cloud has had a positive impact on our organization by simplifying the management of our analytics infrastructure. It has reduced the operational effort required to run ClickHouse, improved the query performance for large data sets, and enabled our team to deliver dashboards and analytics faster. As a result, our engineers spend less time on database maintenance and more time building features and analyzing business data and their outcomes. Some of the measurements we have seen from using Altinity.Cloud include fifty to sixty percent less time spent on database administration. We do not need to handle provisioning, ClickHouse version upgrades, backups, or monitoring; those are all managed by Altinity. Additional outcomes include significantly faster analytics queries, faster deployment of the analytics environment, lower operational costs, and higher engineering productivity.

"Ingres is the only database solution that has maintained a level of consistency and integrity about the way users interact with it."
"Altinity.Cloud has had a positive impact on our organization by simplifying the management of our analytics infrastructure, reducing the operational effort required to run ClickHouse, improving the query performance for large data sets, and enabling our team to deliver dashboards and analytics faster so our engineers spend less time on database maintenance and more time building features and analyzing business data and their outcomes."
"The best features Altinity.Cloud offers include that it is a fully managed database as a service, it is also fully open source so it is very good to access, there are flexible deployments, there is easy integration with some third-party tools such as Kafka, and it also has very good monitoring tools."
 

Cons

"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
