"Amazon RDS is lightweight and flexible."
"The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"Redis is better tested and is used by large companies. I haven't found a direct alternative to what Redis offers. Plus, there are a lot of support and learning resources available, which help you use Redis efficiently."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"In the next release, it would be great to see RDS provide connection pooling out of the box."
"If we do not keep track of our costs, we might face some problems."
"Amazon RDS could improve by having more sophisticated. I use other solutions that have better technology for more difficult tasks."
"The only thing that needs improvement would be the pricing of the solution."
"You can only get access from the sales support. That means if you want to buy something or renew your subscription or upgrade, all these services are easily available. Yet, if you would like to get some technical support, you have to pay for it. You have to pay for an additional subscription."
"Amazon has a policy of automatically restarting the server every seven days."
"When you are using it for the first time, it is a little bit hard to configure. The first-time configuration is not very easy. It should be easier to configure. Its installation should also be simpler. Currently, its installation is very complex. With SQL Server, we have access to the SQL Server analysis services and reporting services, but such services are not available with Amazon RDS."
"Sometimes the interface has many moving parts, which is a concern."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources."
"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
