We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Spanner and Redis based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The application deployment in the cloud is the best feature of the infrastructure."
"We can scale the solution if we need to."
"Google Cloud Spanner is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its scalability. Scalability comes with two options, among which Google Cloud Spanner can scale horizontally, compared to other relational databases that scale vertically."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"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."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"The tool needs to improve horizontal scaling."
"The cost can be a bit high."
"Google came up with something called Cloud Spanner Emulator, which fails to work like the real product if I want to develop some code and run a database locally on my machine."
"I want to improve the deployment of cameras and surveillance infrastructure."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"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 initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"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."
