Aerospike Database 7 vs Cassandra comparison

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

"I am getting much better performance than relational databases."

"The technical evaluation is very good."

"Cassandra is good. It's better than CouchDB, and we are using it in parallel with CouchDB. Cassandra looks better and is more user-friendly."

"The most valuable features of Cassandra are its scaling capabilities and its non-SQL nature capabilities."

"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."

"Cassandra has some features that are more useful for specific use cases where you have time series where you have huge amounts of writes. That should be quick, but not specifically the reads. We needed to have quicker reads and writes and this is why we are using Cassandra right now."

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

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

"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."

"The disc space is lacking. You need to free it up as you are working."

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

"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 secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."

"The solution is limited to a linear performance."

"Doesn't support a solution that can give aggregation."

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

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

"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."

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

"We pay for a license."

"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."
