A good database system

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Our dev team was I have attended Scylla University courses to understand the functioning and have to say its been a thorough session with hands on labs. Now I understand how to use it. Scylla is great, go for it. exploring options on improving DB results and we had 3-4 options ready to test. Scylla DB definitely was performing better and we found it to be safe and easy to use as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many issues were found in the test phase. But maybe we could see some when and if we implement more heavy microservices and deploy them to real-time testing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now the team uses MySQL which is fine for the monolith. But moving to cloud storage, we really need a strong DB management system and we think Scylla is capable of supporting our apps.

Great performance, simple to deploy. Just a bit hard to undestand some behaviors

What do you like best about the product?
Very performant (specially for writes). Reads are also pretty fast. Compaction strategies are a great tuning mechanism to optimize for read latency vs write latency. Simple to deploy on AWS EC2 with pre-built AMIs
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to design schemas efficiently if you're coming from the SQL world. Also, some behaviors are a bit different than usual (like UPDATE queries running an insert-like operation if the row does not exist)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing time-series-like immutable events to be queried later on is incredible. Time Window Compaction Strategy works nicely for this workload. This enabled us to increase the TTL for our data, allowing for a more complete analysis when querying data while keeping low costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it if you need high performance and scalability

My ScyllaDB review and why this NoSQL DB rocks!

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ScyllaDB offers the high performance and consistency that you would expect and need to run a variety of application use cases such as IoT and distributed systems with critical applications where high availability and performance are required.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price is on the higher side. But, it will pay for itself with great customer support, reliability, a product team that listens and enhances the product continuously.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have started off using NoSQL in many new application areas in production and POCs. The use cases are real-time data streaming and IoT. We experienced significant performance gains and cost benefits by switching to the ScyllaDB NoSQL setup.

Speedy noSQL, good for big data

What do you like best about the product?
Scylla handles concurrency significantly better than alternatives. The open-source version is great for experimenting without a license.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I haven't used it enough and I havent' used it in a professional envorionment to find issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my project, I was glad to have the plug-and-play Kafka connector, made it easy to stream large amounts of data.

Stress free time series database

What do you like best about the product?
Fast queries make for super responsive IoT apps. Our users love the speed and consistency when viewing device data. Combine that with 99.9% uptime over 2 years and excellent support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricey, but comparable to other solutions. Managed Enterprise offering made sense for us, but can see it being a roadblock for others. There was a bit of a learning curve. Recommend the Scylla University modules and user training sessions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have many devices streaming data to the cloud. On the flip side, we have many users querying device data to help run their businesses. With managed ScyllaDB, we focus on delivering value add apps and services for our customers. We know that writes will be consistent and queries fast. ScyllaDB has reliably managed infrastructure - securing and optimizing the cluster, and keeping us up to date.

So fast!

What do you like best about the product?
The speed of writing and reading, along with maximizing resources in a zero-config way for servers where it's installed is insanely useful, even if it's not completely API-complete against Cassandra.
What do you dislike about the product?
The license (Affero) was too restrictive for our organization, so we had to pass on using it, despite the ease-of-use and speed benefits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We would use it as a backend store for longitunidal patient data by data type. Our current solution requires a ton of tuning and node investment that would otherwise not have been necessary if we went with Scylla
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can afford the Enterprise license or are not bundling it with a solution for sale it is a no-brainer for the use case of storing dynamic tables
