Good experience, very good product

  • January 29, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The quality of the product is really good, it really goes beyond the open source Apache Cassandra.
What do you dislike about the product?
The quality of the support, from time to time we had issues lasting for more than a year (sic), or every time we had to explain our setup to the support representative as they had no clue about our company and our background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage to provide a platform as a service to multiple different development teams. DataStax came into the play because no one had the knowledge on distributed databases at scale so their participation was paramount to the kickoff of the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They have a good product and a huge experience with multiple different customers from different business domains. They are also offering now a flavor based on the open source version that might help people or organizations with specific needs, or afraid of lock-in, which is great.

Implementation of globally distributed, linearly scalable for high streaming data writes - for transaction logging, storing time series data, tracking etc.

Review for DataStax

  • April 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Our data was decentralized. It has therefore become indispensable to implement a customer master data management solution to deploy a consolidated vision of our clients in one single point.
What do you dislike about the product?
Beneath the covers, the Cassandra data storage layer is basically a key-value storage system. This means that you must "model" your data around the queries you want to surface, rather than around the structure of the data itself. This can lead to storing the data multiple times in different ways to be able to satisfy the requirements of your application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The write volume it can handle. It is able to handle such a large volume of writes by first writing to an in-memory data structure, then to an append-only log.

DATASTAX IS GREAT!

  • April 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
DATASTAX is an amazing tool for enhancing training and organization throughout our company. It's helped us integrate departments and employees which has helped us all improve greatly especially in terms of scalability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Datastax is a bit expensive especially for smaller companies who are budget conscious. I also which the processes could be sped up a bit. There is also a learning curve to Datastax which I believe requires someone well versed to get through and teach to others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using DataStax to train new and existing employees. We also use DataStax to improve our management systems.

DSE an acceptible product with high maintenance overhead

  • November 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The all in one integration between Cassandra, Solr, and Spark makes it simple to use together. Once installed, configuring them for basic out of the box functionality is completed by just enabling each one in a file. Once you get into the Ops Center and maintaining a production cluster, it starts to get more complicated. However, the DataStax academy provides the information needed to start more advanced configurations and implementations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maintaining a production cluster is very time consuming, requiring a full time resource just to manage this application for a larger system. The cloud resources needed to support this are pretty large. It's almost a wash compared to cloud native services. Beyond the generic training videos and programs, the extended support and training is a lot of extra effort to get spun up and covered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DataStax Enterprise solution provides a great backend data layer to our microservices in the cloud. Inventory search and the speed at which results are returned means this can be used for bot functions and other AI capabilities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have the experience on staff to support this application moving forward. Without at least one experienced resource who has some combination of NoSQL solutions, search understanding, and basic AI capabilities, you will likely have to train a resource 6-8 months just to be comfortable with the product.
