Data platform has accelerated machine learning workflows and delivers faster, cheaper deployments
ByteHouse is an enterprise solution, so the company has to pay considerably to get it. However, if it were open source, the company could have a trial period and could proceed with confidence to purchase it. Additionally, ByteHouse could still offer a free trial for limited data, such as 1GB or 2GB of data. Regarding ByteHouse's AI capabilities, some tweaks are still needed. It is still in a growing state from what I have observed. When considering MLOps or an MLOps life cycle where data sets are stored in ByteHouse, there should be a tool that alerts us when these data sets have missing values, need cleanup, contain duplicate values, or have inconsistent data. Regarding ByteHouse's AI capabilities, I would rate the accuracy as below average, but it is still in a growing state. I would give it a six out of ten. My advice to others considering ByteHouse is that if you want scalability and your team is quite small, and you want a stable source where you can store your data sets and perform analysis, ByteHouse is a good option.

Data observability has enabled real‑time analytics and cost savings but needs smoother inserts and cleanup
ClickHouse could be improved concerning data insertion, especially given the high amount of data handled. Constant efforts are made to optimize the features on its own, but with merges and inserts, only a single insert query can be performed allowing for the input of only 100,000 rows per second. It would be beneficial to insert more data and have configurations that are less user-operated. Ideally, ClickHouse would optimize itself to handle these processes automatically, reducing the need to contact the ClickHouse support team for infrastructure optimization. Additionally, delays are experienced when trying to delete databases with corrupt data, taking too much time and causing major outages, which necessitate contacting multiple teams across continents for resolution. The community surrounding ClickHouse also seems limited, providing a reliance on documentation, and there is a scarcity of developers working with ClickHouse, which hinders growth. If ClickHouse were more user-friendly and technically feasible, it would likely see greater expansion in usage.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"ByteHouse has positively impacted my organization by making the machine learning life cycle considerably easier and faster."
"While I cannot share exact internal figures, we observed a noticeable improvement in reporting and analytics efficiency after adopting ByteHouse, as analytical queries that previously took several minutes were often completed in seconds, which reduced waiting time for analysts and engineers and led to roughly a 30 to 40 percent reduction in the time spent preparing recurring reports because teams could access and process data more quickly."
"ClickHouse provides great query speeds because it is an OLAP database, so naturally, it provides higher speeds."
"If you have a real-time basis, you should take a look at ClickHouse because it works on a vector database, and the querying is super fast compared to traditional databases."
"The main feature of ClickHouse is the optimizer because we had too many records to deduplicate, and the optimizer took this task by itself."
"ClickHouse is open source with no vendor lock-in, providing excellent freedom to choose any vendor without restrictions."
"ClickHouse has positively impacted my organization by replacing PostgreSQL, which required complex foreign tables for queries, and with ClickHouse we now have Cube.js for easier data visualization."
"ClickHouse Cloud saves a lot of time for our DevOps engineers since there isn't much deployment involved and everything is served directly, leading to increased efficiency and productivity."
"The best thing about the tool is that I can set it up on my computer and run queries without depending on the cloud. This is why I use it every day."
"There is no better option than ClickHouse in all OLAP-based databases, so I think it is best to use ClickHouse in that regard."
 

Cons

"Regarding ByteHouse's AI capabilities, I would rate the accuracy as below average, but it is still in a growing state."
"Overall, I have had a positive experience with ByteHouse, but there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"There aren't too many improvements I'd suggest for ClickHouse as it covers all my needs. There are just a few technical issues. For example, sometimes, when you want to get unique values and use certain tables, they don't work as expected. But it's not a major problem."
"ClickHouse can be improved, and the main challenge I see is its operational complexity."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that it is very expensive—ClickHouse is the most expensive option."
"If you join our team, it should be easy for you to use ClickHouse, especially if you are a developer. However, you need to read the documentation and understand the problems you are trying to solve."
"We had a lot of troubles while deploying a whole cluster."
"The main issue is the lack of documentation. Many features are available but are not fully documented, which can make finding information challenging."
"ClickHouse could be improved with self-hosting capabilities and better documentation for how to host it at scale."
"In terms of needed improvements, some enhancements in documentation are necessary."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"ClickHouse has an open-source version, which is free to use and has almost all the features."
"We used the free, community version of ClickHouse."
"For pricing, if you use the self-hosted version, it would be free. Cloud services pricing would be an eight out of ten. I try to minimize costs but still have to monitor usage."
"ClickHouse Cloud is not expensive compared to other databases, costing a few dollars per month while providing fast performance."
"If you have an in-house deployment on Kubernetes or something, it's going to be very cheap since you'll be managing everything."
"The tool is open-source."
"The tool is free."
