Unmatched Performance and Scalability for Modern Applications
Redis has room for improvement in a few areas. Enhanced tools for managing and monitoring clusters would be beneficial, as would built-in security mechanisms like advanced encryption and granular access controls. Simplifying setup and configuration could make Redis more accessible to new users. Introducing more enterprise-grade features, such as better multi-tenancy support and improved backup and restore capabilities, would also be advantageous. For the next release, it would be great to see enhanced cluster management tools, native multi-region supports for better data redundancy, integrated analytics for deeper insights, AI and ML integration features, and improved developer experience through enhanced SDKs and tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics."
"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"Redis has multiple valuable features such as being a free and reliable open-source tool."
"What I like best about Redis is its fast and easy use. It has interesting algorithms like HyperLogLog and provides useful features. It's also good for implementing scalable rate limiting."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"The performance of Redis is very fast."
"Redis provides an easy setup and operation process, allowing users to quickly connect and use it without hassle."
"I find Redis valuable primarily for its caching capabilities, particularly in handling cache requests effectively. Its simplicity in managing key-value pairs for caching is one of its strengths, making it a preferred choice over more complex databases like MongoDB for specific use cases. However, I haven't explored Redis extensively for managing complex data structures beyond caching, as MongoDB might be more suitable for such scenarios."
"Redis acts as an in-memory search tool that improves the speed of operations."
 

Cons

"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"It's hard to make it slow for a small data volume. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work. It's also hard to make it faster, and to make it scale."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"Redis should have an option to operate without Docker on a local PC."
"The initial setup of Redis was difficult, with a rating of two or three out of ten."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"The solution's pricing for a local installation is very expensive."
"There is room for AWS to provide more options for server types or a way to configure more or less memory for them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am aware that we have licensed it, but I have no knowledge of its cost."
"The first TB is free and you can use all the Vertica features. After 1TB you have to pay for licensing. The product is worth it, but be aware of this condition, and plan. The compression ratio is explained in the documentation."
"Read the fine print carefully."
"The solution is relatively cost-effective."
"I think it's starting to get a little expensive. Open source products are starting to get more robust, so I think that's something that they need to start looking at in terms of licensing."
"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
"It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
"Vertica has a perpetual license, but they are currently trying to convert all those licenses to subscription-based licenses on a yearly basis."
"Redis is an open-source product."
"Redis is not an overpriced solution."
"We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster."
"Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees."
"The tool is open-source. There are no additional costs."
