Managed real-time data has powered low-latency personalization and reduced operational effort
Aerospike Cloud Managed Service can be improved in several ways. The learning curve is a challenge for beginners, especially compared to MongoDB or Redis, which are more user-friendly. Additionally, there is a smaller ecosystem with fewer tools and communities compared to MongoDB and Redis. While the managed service cost can be expensive for startups, large media enterprises may not feel the financial burden. Performance tuning is needed, as some areas still require faster processing for customers. We still receive complaints about the time it takes to load ads, and the query flexibility is limited, lacking a rich query language such as SQL or document databases. The needed improvements for Aerospike Cloud Managed Service include transparent pricing tiers similar to MongoDB Atlas, better developer enterprise UI for simplicity, a larger ecosystem and integration, simplified onboarding tutorials, and native analytics with stronger SQL-like query layers.

Cloud service has streamlined daily monitoring and reporting but still needs smoother setup
When it comes to scalability, we never got to the point where we could scale it, or at least while I was there. Scalability is a tricky word. You design for it, but to actually do it because you have a real need tends to take more time to come into fruition. I wasn't there when that scalability test was done. In terms of using the real-time performance analytics feature of CDW Managed Cloud Services, I think it was something a little different when I was working with it. Maybe it was termed differently. We had a real-time interaction performance report that we dealt with every day. Our goal was to have the tool create information and send it to us instead of us having to look for it. We used a real-time monitoring service functionality to generate a daily report, which my SMEs would then review and take actions in accordance as necessary. When assessing CDW's security management in maintaining data integrity and compliance, you meet the encrypt state compliance requirements and the ISO 9000, which we had requirements for, including the ISNet requirements with the 128-bit encryption states and 512s on the backend for hardware. We didn't have anything else beyond that, which is pretty standard these days. We had no data penetrations during the time I was there.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Saving data into Aerospike in a NoSQL format is beneficial."
"Aerospike Cloud Managed Service has made everyone's life easier and reduced the efforts involved in the learning curve, helping us save around twenty percent of our time."
"Almost 4x improvement happened when we moved to Aerospike Cloud Managed Service."
"Aerospike is a NoSQL database, allowing us to store extensive data and perform read and write operations rapidly, resolving our inventory-related performance issues."
"After switching to Aerospike Cloud Managed Service, I have seen positive changes, including cost savings and the service being completely managed by the Aerospike team itself."
"CDW has performed great from a project management standpoint. We had set up our environment with our knowledge of how to set up the virtual servers in the cloud. They came back and did an analysis to help us with our savings. This was something we hadn't thought about, but actually helped us reduce some of the costs. The cost savings was about a third of the cost over three years."
"Our expectations have been met in terms of services delivered on time, on budget, and on spec."
"CDW's service enables us to deploy infrastructure services at our own pace without being limited by the availability of resources. It helps us leverage skills that take a long time to acquire, skills that we don't have in-house. Making use of CDW's skills in those areas saves us a lot of time."
"CDW built things from the ground up for us, did everything for us and then handed it off and showed us how to use it, freeing up about half of our summer project time and ensuring everything was set up correctly and securely."
"In regards to the cost of CDW Cloud Managed Services, when I consider the costs of engineering resources that can work in multi-cloud environments, the cost of downtime, and the cost of the time to reconcile complex bills from cloud providers, the benefit is immeasurable."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has positively impacted my organization through its key capabilities, which include compliance and security, while the migration services, cloud optimization, and cost management have helped me significantly."
"Their proactive alerting is valuable. They'll try and apprise us of issues before they become problems. I find that very valuable."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has positively impacted my organization by reducing costs, being more efficient and secure to use, and offering a user-friendly platform that gives quick access to all features in a single cloud service portal."
 

Cons

"Overall, I think Aerospike Cloud Managed Service is quite good, but I believe the UI console is functional and could be made better."
"One improvement I think Aerospike Cloud Managed Service could make is adding more customizations because we have less control on the underlying infrastructure."
"Aerospike Cloud Managed Service can be improved in several ways. The learning curve is a challenge for beginners, especially compared to MongoDB or Redis, which are more user-friendly."
"Enhancing performance would be beneficial. While it is already fast, the industry is continuously moving towards even faster solutions, and performance issues can become apparent."
"Enhancing performance would be beneficial."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services is performing very well overall, but the optimization can be improved in terms of loading the page."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services needs to work on the costing for the license part, making it more affordable would be beneficial."
"The ticket system is a little clunky for Managed Cloud Services. There is no ticket category for Managed Cloud Services, per se. It's a little awkward when trying to find a way to put a ticket in. It's just not streamlined enough and doesn't take you step-by-step. And it doesn't seem to have all the categories I need. If I'm putting in a ticket for AWS or AppStream, there is no category for them."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services could provide more detailed documentation for their services, expert support, and all of the benefits they provide."
"We are still waiting on one thing, but it is not really CDW. It is just something from Microsoft."
"What I dislike about CDW Managed Cloud Services is that sub-configurations are somewhat of a headache."
"They can maybe improve the scheduling."
"The infamous whiteboard still has some things to deploy from my standpoint and our primary business solution standpoint. So, there is always room to grow. There are a few security things that I would like to deploy, such as single sign-on so the email address and password are the login."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is a little more complex than I would like, but I think that's more AWS than CDW. CDW actually saves us money in regards to the way they handle things. We get support without a six-figure commitment from the AWS side, and that's appreciated."
"The biggest factor for us was cost, and at the time, CDW Managed Cloud Services was most efficient for what we needed."
"We have used CDW’s free Recommendation Engine. That is what we use for the cost savings. It helped us find places to reduce our cloud costs."
"The cost is very competitive and appropriate for what we get."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services will not be cheaper than what you are doing on-premises. It will be more expensive."
"A lot of people see the cost, and they are like, "Well, that is a lot if we already have an internal IT person." It's like, "Well, you're not just getting that." You are getting access to resources and peace of mind, to say, "I don't have to worry about this server dying at 2:00 in the morning because these guys will handle it." I will wake up, and if there would have been a problem, it would have been addressed. It would have been notated and fixed."
