Aerospike Database 7 vs Cassandra comparison

"It shows better compression and compaction, which is valuable."

"I'd rate the solution ten out of ten."

"Since I haven't had years of experience with it, it's still new to me. One valuable feature is its distribution, so I can run it partly in the cloud and part on-prem. That's a feature I'd like to use but haven't yet because we're trying to move to Azure. I don't know if or when that will happen. Ideally, we'd have it distributed over the cloud and on-prem simultaneously, so if something happens to our on-prem, we can keep going in the cloud, like a pay-as-you-go model with Azure."

"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed and distributed nature."

"The technical evaluation is very good."

"Overall, I would rate Cassandra as nine because of its fast writes, which really suit our use cases mostly."

"We can add almost one million columns to the solution."

"Its retrieval is similar to an RDBMS, so our team finds it easy to adapt."

"The most valuable feature of Cassandra is its fast retrieval. Additionally, the solution can handle large amounts of data. It is the quickest application we use."

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."

"Cassandra could be more user-friendly like MongoDB."

"Some issues arise from our vendors like Apache slowness and distribution or load balancing from HAProxy, which should better handle consumption for high-level concurrency."

"Cassandra can improve by adding more built-in tools. For example, if you want to do some maintenance activities in the cluster, we have to depend on third-party tools. Having these tools build-in would be e benefit."

"There were challenges with the query language and the development interface. The query language, in particular, could be improved for better optimization. These challenges were encountered while using the Java SDK."

"Interface is not user friendly."

"The initial setup of Cassandra can be difficult in the configuration. There might be a need to have assistance. The implementation process can six months for connecting to certain databases."

"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."

"We experience configuration issues when accommodating the volumes we require, which often necessitates consultation with the Cassandra development team."

"We use around half a TB of data and spend approximately $36,000 to $40,000 USD per year on Aerospike."

"I use the tool's open-source version."

"We pay for a license."

"We are using the open-source version of Cassandra, the solution is free."

"Cassandra is a free open source solution, but there is a commercial version available called DataStax Enterprise."

"I don't have the specific numbers on pricing, but it was fairly priced."

"There are licensing fees that must be paid, but I'm not sure if they are paid monthly or yearly."
