Cons
"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."

More Faiss Cons →

"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.""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 development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud.""The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis.""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.""There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution.""Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
