Aerospike Database 7 vs Cassandra comparison

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

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

"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."

"The solution's database capabilities are very good."

"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."

"The technical evaluation is very good."

"The use of Cassandra in real-time data analytics has been pivotal for our e-commerce platform. As our platform operates 24/7, providing services to sellers and customers alike, the need for real-time updates is paramount."

"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 Cassandra are the NoSQL database, high performance, and zero-copy streaming."

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

"There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly."

"We found some issues with the batch inserts when the data volume is large."

"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."

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

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

"Fine-tuning was a bit of a challenge."

"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."

"Depending upon our schema, we can't make ORDER BY or GROUP BY clauses in the product."

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

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

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

"We pay for a license."

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

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

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