Room For Improvement

Qdrant requires UI enhancements, improved backup management, and integrated automation to address operational complexities and improve features.
Users face challenges with Supabase due to limited support, complex setup, scaling issues, and insufficient documentation and features.
Fast large-scale filtering operations could be implemented, such as automatic index suggestions, adaptive query planning, and smart indexing of metadata fields, which would make Qdrant even more efficient.

Incorporating embedding features directly in Qdrant Cloud would eliminate the need to depend on external solutions.
Lead Ai Tech And Tech Automation Engineer at a individual & family service with 11-50 employees
When I'm in Supabase Vector, there is a feature where I have to create a table. At the start, for newcomers, it's difficult, and then it becomes hard.
Software Developer at a performing arts with 1-10 employees
I wish that there was a convenient way to make it compatible with the general Postgres database SDK.
Director at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
An improvement for Supabase Vector would be to have it enabled by default.
Co-Founder & CTO at Mango Giraffe
 

Setup Cost

Qdrant offers cost-effective enterprise pricing but scaling may require migrating to paid plans for advanced features and support.
Supabase Vector's enterprise pricing varies, with standard plans at $480/year, and free trials available for basic implementation.
Using Qdrant is free.
Chief Ai Scientist at Predictive Systems
Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing, since I am using only the free tier of Qdrant Cloud, there are no setup costs involved.
Lead Ai Tech And Tech Automation Engineer at a individual & family service with 11-50 employees
Licensing posed no issues, as Qdrant is open-source software with no upfront fees.
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
It was amazing to be able to create all this technology for free, without the need to pay additional costs to use those technologies, apart from the embeddings ones from Google.
Co-Founder
The price is good.

Valuable Features

Qdrant enhances search precision using hybrid vectors, offers cost-effective deployment, and supports efficient AI handling with flexible APIs.
Supabase Vector offers a unified platform combining relational and vector data with seamless setup, security, and efficient management.
The ability of Qdrant to handle high-dimensional vectors for my AI projects is pretty fast, and I think it's the best we have used so far.
Chief Ai Scientist at Predictive Systems
An accuracy boost was definitely observed from 45 to 50% using Faiss to around 85 to 95% using Qdrant, and the users are really happy as they are getting suggested really good schemes that would take a lot of time to find.
Analyst at Synergy Connect
The best features of Qdrant are GPU support, which enables very fast processing, and a very light footprint as it uses fewer resources.
Co Founder & CEO at SaYukth Private Limited
We have Supabase basically as the host of most of our business relational database and user data, so since the client's applications are migrating to language model-empowered features, it is very useful, and we do not need to register for other database types.

Chirag Morajkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Ai Tech And Tech Automation Engineer at a individual & family service with 11-50 employees
Building accurate no-code resume screeners has saved weeks in document search workflows
I see room for improvement in Qdrant based on what another platform called Weaviate offers. Qdrant provides an excellent vector database with a solid searching method. However, it could elevate its offering by integrating embedding features. Currently, for the workflow automation I build, I rely on other platforms for embedding, so incorporating this feature directly in Qdrant Cloud would eliminate the need to depend on external solutions. A pain point I have encountered was the inactive expiration of the cloud created for certain projects. If the cloud is not used for a week, it gets terminated, which is frustrating. I think increasing that inactivity window in the free tier would be beneficial, as I have faced limitations due to this seven-day inactivity rule, requiring me to reset up the cloud after its termination.

Vector search has reduced duplicate citizen proposals and empowers richer democratic participation
I had problems integrating the vector directly into Supabase, so I had to use Google Vertex to generate the embeddings and the information I needed in the database. It would be nice if all of this could be integrated all in one place with Supabase. I would prefer not to have to use a different or external tool to create these embeddings. It would be nice to have everything integrated in the same way. Apart from that, I think that is one of the cons I found, but it is basic. That was my main concern in that regard. My advice for others looking into using Supabase Vector is to take into account how you are going to create the embeddings, as it is not an option implemented straight away in Supabase. You will need to handle the embeddings with an external tool, so make sure to consider how these integrations are going to be made.
