Not good performant Redis service for high I/O
What do you like best about the product?
I only liked special care of customer service even though it ended up as a disappointment.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no pricing information for some services and support team is giving me ambiguous numbers. When I try Redis Cloud Private I couldn't get the performance numbers they claimed I will get. To get 400k ops/sec I shouldn't need 32 shards and pay ~86K$ other than all EC2 costs I will have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need a high performant cache to serve real time advertising solution for millions of customers. Even though my dataset is not so big. I really need high throughput.

Scale Redis services in a few clicks !
What do you like best about the product?
Redis is a critical component in many systems now days. It is incredibly fast, powerful and stable with an extraordinary set of useful data structures, suitable for most tasks. Redis cloud make it incredibly easy to scale your needs in matter of few clicks. It is very affordable, the pricing the fair and the service is easy-to-use and highly available.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not dislike anything in particular about Redis cloud. It would be useful if customers can choose between a set of data-centers around the globe, despite the fact that redis itself is very fast and Redis cloud is incredible in delivering data, latency still plays a huge roll because of connectivity issues. It would be nice to be able to choose a server more close to the customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Distributed systems. Message Queues. Publish/Subscribe .

If you want to scale, Redis cloud is the way to go.

The best out there for Redis hosting
What do you like best about the product?
Redis Cloud takes away any complexity in hosting and maintaining redis in the cloud. The setup couldn't be easier and so far we've experienced not downtime in almost 2 years. Really happy with the product, the support and the availability of Redis Cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall the service is great and there's not much I dislike. Future improvements would be to connect with other platforms more easily such as Datadog and other metrics reporting and alerting platforms. The service is a bit expensive as well but again the product is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing data in a fast datastore (redis) and not having to manage any of it ourselves.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't have a DevOps team just go for it. The setup is easy and the service is really reliable. Take a look at the advanced metrics section of the dashboard for mean access to great data.
My go-to Redis-as-a-service provider
What do you like best about the product?
Redis Cloud integrates well with Heroku and AWS S3, and it makes getting up and running a breeze. Their ability to effortlessly upgrade/downgrade plans without any interruption is incredibly valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The web-UI for managing and interacting with your databases is fairly confusing, and often leaves you clicking around wondering which (similarly-named) section ends up holding the item you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redis Cloud lets us quickly scale up and provision Redis instances as needed, on demand. Not having to manage these ourselves has been extremely valuable in freeing up resources for work elsewhere.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We haven't spent a ton of time looking at other Redis-as-a-service offerings, but we've been pretty happy with our experiences with Redis Cloud. Their support has been fairly decent, as has the product – if it seems like it meets your needs and expectations, I'd say go for it.
Redis without the hassle
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple and easy integration with Heroku. We use it for many applications in Heroku over many other choices, simple because its dependable and works.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. The UI is a bit outdated and could use some revamping.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a caching layer that integrates with Heroku easily and scales accordingly. Redis Cloud did the job as advertised.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dont cut your self short when choosing your plan.
