Raghavendra Sao - PeerSpot reviewer
Used to get data from the database faster
Rockset is an easy tool, and anyone can use it. The solution provides some type of data grouping. This grouping of data based on some parameters is not simple, but it is very useful. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Jörg Kippe - PeerSpot reviewer
A mature and affordable solution that is easy to install and easy to update
The product takes time to learn, it's not that easy. In the beginning we had a lot of questions. If you want to use such a tool in an real (industrial) environment, you have to ask how to get the network data. Can we do a full packet capture? Can we provide agents to our end systems? There are no simple solutions to these questions. It's a general problem when running such systems in an industrial environment.
