We performed a comparison between Cassandra and Milvus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Elastic, Meta, Chroma and others in Vector Databases."We can add almost one million columns to the solution."
"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."
"The most valuable features of Cassandra are the NoSQL database, high performance, and zero-copy streaming."
"The most valuable features are the counter features and the NoSQL schema. It also has good scalability. You can scale Cassandra to any finite level."
"The technical evaluation is very good."
"I am satisfied with the performance."
"Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture."
"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."
"The best feature of Milvus was finding the closest chunk from a huge amount of data."
"The solution is well containerized, and since containerization is quick and easy for me, I can scale it up quickly."
"Milvus has good accuracy and performance."
"There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly."
"The solution is limited to a linear performance."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is not easy to use because it is a big database and you have to learn the interface. This is the case though in most of these solutions."
"The disc space is lacking. You need to free it up as you are working."
"Fine-tuning was a bit of a challenge."
"The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."
"I've heard that when we store too much data in Milvus, it becomes slow and does not work properly."
"Milvus has higher resource consumption, which introduces complexity in implementation."
"Milvus' documentation is not very user-friendly and doesn't help me get started quickly."
