ScyllaDB Enterprise

What do you like best about the product?

i like many things about it, but the best one is the low latency that it gave even when the data that i had was very large

What do you dislike about the product?

i think that initially it is not very easy to use, as a new user, I had difficulty in understanding its configuration

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

we dont need too much hardware to do the job, the system itself works very well without dramatically increasing the budget

What do you like best about the product?

I like ScyllaDB for its significant cost savings and compatibility with Cassandra. The operational simplicity and robust ecosystem make it efficient to use. I value the high performance on fewer nodes, which reduces infrastructure costs due to CPU optimization and the ability to work with smaller clusters. The auto-tuning and self-optimization features help cut down on manual DBA overhead. I also appreciate the strong community and OEM support, which reduce downtime risks and facilitate adoption across production environments. Additionally, I found the initial setup to be very easy, especially with managed services, and the process is familiar for Cassandra users but simplified for new users, particularly with automated tuning scripts.

What do you dislike about the product?

The learning curve around the shard-per-core architecture and tuning is steep for new team members who are not familiar with it. Monitoring integration and developer SDK still lag behind other databases like Cassandra. Although ScyllaDB's native monitoring stack with Prometheus and Grafana works well, it requires manual setup and configuration compared to managed DB services like Azure and AWS, and using popular observability tools like New Relic or DataDog with pre-built alerting templates for common failures would be much better than having to write numerous queries in Prometheus.

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

ScyllaDB helps me overcome scaling bottlenecks, reduce high operational costs, and manage data-intensive applications. Its high performance on fewer nodes optimizes CPU use, saving infrastructure costs. Auto-tuning reduces DBA overhead, while strong community and OEM support minimize downtime risks.

What do you like best about the product?

I really appreciate ScyllaDB's scalability, which is the number one thing I like about it. It allows me to combine multiple events and orchestrate between them seamlessly. ScyllaDB handles low latency well, letting me scale up easily, especially with large training datasets involving 100,000 plus people. It also manages real-time workloads efficiently, helping me coordinate multiple events smoothly.

What do you dislike about the product?

NA

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

ScyllaDB provides low latency, allowing me to scale easily and handle real-time workloads efficiently. It supports my conversational AI by retrieving data for chat functionality and orchestrating multiple events.

What do you like best about the product?

I like how open and involved the employees at ScyllaDB are. It just seems like they really care about the user experience and really care about their user base.

What do you dislike about the product?

No obvious issues at this time

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

I use ScyllaDB for storing data in an easy-to-retrieve and performant manner. It isnt used by our team yet but its something we've started looking into

What do you like best about the product?

I like that ScyllaDB is more flexible for me compared to MongoDB, and the terminal structure and commands are better to use. I also find the teaching at the summit very good because it helps me see my mistakes and learn from them. Using the cqlsh terminal to interact with the cluster efficiently through CQL queries is great, and ScyllaDB's use of shard per core architecture maximizes performance and reduces latency in a distributed database.

What do you dislike about the product?

I think improving the setup guide and helping new users understand the distributed database concept. A clear dashboard-like insight to help developers in observability tools and expanding integration with cloud native ecosystems can make it more powerful for developers.

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

I find using the cqlsh terminal efficient for interacting with clusters, and ScyllaDB maximizes performance with its shard per core architecture to reduce latency.
