Technical Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
A fast and affordable solution that is scalable and has a nice dashboard
The product enables the users to query results faster. It maintains all the versions of the changes done on a specific node. A traditional blockchain would take time, but Amazon QLDB is a bit faster. We have to do many operations in blockchain to read data, but QLDB comes with an easy syntax. The product provides a nice dashboard to view all the information.

Reliable backup and recovery has protected critical telecom customer data in daily operations
When I was taking the backup with a data volume of 15 to 20 GB, the full backup running for the first time did not provide metrics to understand what percent of progress had been made. We had to read the logs, but we did not see any percentage in those logs. This is an improvement item for DataStax Enterprise to provide metrics, a bar, or a percentage so we can grasp how much data has been backed up or restored. There are no graphs available to make us aware of how long the process will take to complete, which is a drawback I noticed during backup and restore. In addition, I notice a huge time lag during restoration because each node takes a lot of time to be added to the pool and to the cluster node, one by one. The entire time the production is down presents a concerning situation. There should be an alternative for restoring where data can be provided to live traffic so it does not impact customers in the case of a disaster.

Pros

"The product enables the users to query results faster."
"I can share specific outcomes or metrics that show this positive impact, such as improvements in performance of about 60% and a reduction in downtime of about 40 to 45%, which is very great."
"Some of the positive outcomes I see are that system stability improved a lot, there is no single point of failure, so downtime is reduced significantly, and the system stays up even when we face issues in a node."
"DataStax Enterprise is highly scalable, very reliable, and easy to manage and troubleshoot, helping us host a lot of complicated data efficiently because it is an upgraded version of relational database systems based on Cassandra, with a backup and recovery process that is also pretty smooth."
"DataStax Enterprise has positively impacted my organization as we are now an e-commerce website that has never faced downtime, which helps our business to boom and significantly enhances our customer experience."
"The customer support for DataStax Enterprise is amazing, as any requests I have raised receive prompt responses, often within minutes, and the support engineers are knowledgeable and helpful."
"DataStax Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by helping us handle large amounts of data more easily and quickly, improving our system speed, and making our application more reliable."
"I can share specific outcomes resulting from using DataStax Enterprise as we have been seeing an uptick in user adoption, since the introduction of this, our users have jumped from around 20,000 to 50,000."
 

Cons

"The product should enable users to import data from various databases."
"I believe DataStax Enterprise could be easier in areas such as operational complexity, especially for those coming from a traditional relational database background."
"In addition, I notice a huge time lag during restoration because each node takes a lot of time to be added to the pool and to the cluster node, one by one."
"There is still room for improvement and DataStax Enterprise can definitely improve their UI."
"I believe that DataStax Enterprise could be improved by working more on making the OpsCenter user interface more user-friendly, particularly regarding the fonts and overall UI."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that I feel the cost is a bit expensive compared to the open-source implementation of Cassandra, and the initial cluster setup is complex."
"If not keeping current with updates, updating from an older major version to a newer major version can be a bit complicated and time-consuming, but DataStax Enterprise support will help us with this."
"The user interface of DataStax Enterprise can be simpler and easier to use, especially for new users, and I think it should be improved in that area."
