Pros and Cons
- "Using Qdrant's hybrid search capability has improved my search results."
- "A lot of our work is agentic right now, and we have also segmented the content to be logical, so there's not a lot of vector search anymore."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature I have found in Qdrant is the sample code. I think they have good examples that make it developer-friendly.
Using Qdrant's hybrid search capability has improved my search results. 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. That's why we continue using it and did not check other options anymore.
The configuration of Qdrant is okay. For a developer, it was easy to set the product up and to use it.
What needs improvement?
I should check if real-time data updates in Qdrant have helped improve my models, as I don't even know they have that feature.
A lot of our work is agentic right now, and we have also segmented the content to be logical, so there's not a lot of vector search anymore. I haven't really thought of any additional features that would make Qdrant closer to a perfect score.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Qdrant for two years.

How are customer service and support?
I would rate Qdrant's technical support as community-driven. There's community support since we're not paying anything, and it's more the community support for it. It's open source, so we house it on our server.
I think they provide enough information on the internet, and I am satisfied with it. They explain it well.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I switched from Faiss because it's open source and there's not a lot of support. We were worried that moving forward, maybe no one will maintain it, so it's just good for experimenting.
How was the initial setup?
The configuration of Qdrant is okay. For a developer, it was easy to set the product up and to use it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Using Qdrant is free. We house it and have a VM where we just installed it on the VM.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before finally choosing Qdrant, I did evaluate other options, but that was a long time ago, and I don't know what the state of vector databases is now.
What other advice do I have?
Currently, we are using a vector database called Qdrant, but most of our tasks are agentic, and we don't have it anymore. I can answer a few questions about Qdrant.
I have used Qdrant's hybrid search capability. The use of multiple query languages has impacted my data query processes mostly as Q&A.
We use the Ragas metrics to evaluate Qdrant's performance in indexing and retrieving vectors. All the metrics I consider in Ragas are useful.
In my company, we have around eight or nine people using Qdrant. I think Qdrant is popular enough in my region, but they can probably promote it more.
I rate this review a 9 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
