What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much - CQL for Cassandra is perhaps a disadvantage
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cassandra is challenging to manage at a large scale in production. DataStax enables enterprise class capabilities at the click of a button. It minimises compliance risk arising from hacky custom scripting, and allows your teams to focus on developing more where it matters.

Running Apache Cassandra/Pulsar for Enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
The scalability of Cassandra, along with the customizations done by Datastax, is terrific for enterprise use cases. AstraDB, their Database as a service, is easy to use and cost-effective. There are drivers/SDKs/APIs for most languages/tools/frameworks you want to integrate with. Stargate is a cherry on top of the cake. The Astra Streaming service is an excellent managed service of Apache Pulsar.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few general issues with Apache Cassandra are no transactional guarantee and joins. The eventual consistency will not work for all use cases. The Astra service lacks capabilities for extendable monitoring and observability. Datastax Astra also lacks the ability for refined RBAC and network security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Datastax Astra DB and Streaming for our database and streaming needs. The billing is simple, and the integration is as well. The serverless database helped us reduce the overall costs.
Astra is great!
DataStax Astra DB for AWS Marketplace works great for running Cassandra 4.0 workloads! It's serverless and pay as you go.
DBA
What do you like best about the product?
It's distributed capability, availability and horizontal scaleability.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area I wanted to see in their next major version is ease fo backup tool. Maybe integrated within OpsCenter with more flexibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RDBMs typically very hard to scale horizontally and it gets performance degradation as your data increases, however if you design your queries and data model correctly and properly, the speed of operations are sub-millis, especially for large write operations.
Good experience, very good product
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.
