Cons
"The product fails to offer a serverless type of storage capacity.""Onboarding could be better and smoother."

More Pinecone Cons →

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