ScyllaDB Enterprise

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about ScyllaDB is that it simply gets on with it and does it well without having to be spoon-fed along the way. I've loaded it pretty heavily, and it's remained responsive and reliable at every turn. I didn't have to faff around too much to get things operational, which admittedly was a bit of a godsend. The inbuilt monitoring software is also a great idea—actually, it makes sense, and they are helping me solve issues before they are problems.

What do you dislike about the product?

If I had to point out something, I’d say the learning curve in the beginning was a bit steep, especially coming from other databases. Some of the documentation could be clearer or have more real-world examples. Also, certain advanced configurations can get a little tricky if you’re not already familiar with distributed systems. But once I got past that, the overall experience has been solid.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

ScyllaDB solves the performance bottlenecks I used to run into with other databases when dealing with large amounts of data and high traffic. It handles reads and writes really fast, even under pressure, which means I don’t have to worry about scaling issues as the user base grows. That saves me a ton of time on optimization and lets me focus more on building features instead of constantly tuning the backend.

What do you like best about the product?

ScyllaDB is very rich in the feature wise as compare to other DB like DynamoDB, etc

Huge Global existence & ease to integrate with docker support.

What do you dislike about the product?

The other feature like OLAP can also be worked and can be treated as OLAP use-cases more efficiently.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a much cheaper go to the other wide column Database for the use-cases. It is a good candidate to reduce the Cost to Company.

What do you like best about the product?

My best thing about ScyllaDB is the way it performs under heavy load. We've got a live analytics service we're utilizing, and ScyllaDB doesn't even break a sweat at a million hits per minute. The fact that it's C++-based means that it's more system-efficient than some NoSQL databases we've worked with in the past. We also save on hardware since we don't need as many servers to get the same results. Scaling also couldn't be simpler—horizontal scaling with ScyllaDB simply happens with no extra effort.

What do you dislike about the product?

My worst fear was how hard it is to learn. If you don't have knowledge of distributed systems or Cassandra-type databases, it's really intimidating to begin. Some of the advanced features are great, but not necessarily easy to grasp for a new user. And also, the tutorials or guides that do exist are generally based on a lot of pre-existing knowledge, so it's difficult for new users. I think more beginner tutorials or step-by-step guides would get a lot more people started.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our biggest challenge was scaling our real-time application without having to constantly think about downtime or system lag. ScyllaDB fixes this by offering a high-performance, horizontally scalable backend that can scale with our requirements. It supports high volumes of reads and writes with very minimal latency, which is precisely what we were looking for. Prior to ScyllaDB, we had slow query issues and nodes that were overloaded, but now both of these issues are largely a thing of the past. The efficiency of running on fewer resources also saves us money on cloud infrastructure, which allows us to put more money into optimizing other areas of our stack.
