Aerospike Database 7 vs Cassandra comparison

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

"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."
