I love the speed and performance of this NoSQL database.
It handled our heaviest queries with lightning-fast response times.
The database handles high-frequency queries very easily, and performs consistently under heavy loads.
Kudos to the ScyllaDB team and community, they’re quite helpful and resourceful
For the speed and performance this database provides, the cost efficiency is very good.
So if a fast, scalable, reliable, and budget-friendly database is your question, ScyllaDB is your ANSWER !
Cheers !

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike as such but a point to note is that the database is Resource Intensive
It’s very powerful, but the power comes at the cost resource.
Make sure your hardware is able handle it.

My Go-to NoSQL Database
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best things about ScyllaDB is its simplicity to use. We can split the DB into multiple shards to have the resiliency in place. We shifted from another NoSQL solution to ScyllaDB due to it's self-healing and advance caching technology which is very much superior.
Compatibilty with other DBs like cassandra helped us to move easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
While the free version is good enough, the enterprise version might feel a bit expensive.
Another improvement could be a better customer support team and comprehensive documentation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our product is a Powerpoint add-on where we fetch the embeddings from ScyllaDB due to it's superfast response behaviour and consistency across shards.
Compared to our previous NoSQL DB, it offers higher read and writes per second and optimizes load distribution.

SyllaDB is love
What do you like best about the product?
SyllaDB is love, and I can vouch for it as it comes with plethora of benefits to my organization.
Super low latency - So that my end users get faster responses,
Database sharding - So that we can extract the best of our hardware (CPU and Memory)
Lesser cost as compared to similar tools
and Lastly Cassandra Compatibility

What do you dislike about the product?
Some places where we might need help -
Support - SyllaDB is growing and so is its community and support, so join along the community and add your experiences
Learning - Switching from the Relational DB world to the NoSQL / Distributed world might be overwhelming
Not many extra plugins/tools - I would suggest keep patience
Setting it up initially is bit hard - Again for those, who are new to the NoSQL / Distributed world

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are Payment Gateway providers and in my opinion, SyllaDB can help us in many ways -
Transaction processing - With ultra Low Latency, We can achieve higher Transaction processing rates, especially during peak hours when we are getting millions of transactions per second
Scalability - In the payments world, as we all know transactions peak during festivals/holiday season, and SyllaDB can scale up/down the nodes while ensuring load balancing and maximum resource utilization
Forex Rates - ScyllaDB can fetch latest exchange rates, enabling us for real-time conversion & processing of forex
Dynamic Pricing and Discounts - It can calculate real-time discounts, dynamic pricing, and promotional offers even during the peak seasons/hours, enhancing our shopper experience by benefiting him with the best rates

One of the best NoSQL db
What do you like best about the product?
Almost seamless integration. It has familer Query Language. Support the most of our business requirements. Its used in most of my pet projects. Open source development model.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its fairly a new db need to onboard new people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a usecase where we needed to move from SQL to a new NO SQL which could scale in future and has open source support. We needed db which can support the high throughput and had the basic 'ibilities' fulfilled. We went with ScyllaDB as it was having all the above features and also has the ealier onboarding.
Great for alomost all usecase. Provides caching, sharding out of the box
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Scylladb as a primary db for one of our services. There is seemless transition from casandaradb. Apart from these it satisfies scalabiliy, reliability constraints which is required for high throughput services like ours. The documentation is also very well done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike here, it could have been great if there would be an out of the box driver from spring boot. We have to manually add the driver jar into the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a database which is easiser to implement and understand. It should give basic features like caching, auto scalling out of the box. It should be reliable and tested in real world usecases.
ScyllaDB was a perfect choice for this problems as it has all these feature we required.

Perfect DB for most of the usecases
What do you like best about the product?
Its affordable, scaleable, noSQL DB, comes with a free trial, its open source. Customer support is also impressive. Its also not challenging for beginner as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
When we use it initaially, might be challenging for few users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Very good user experience
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and more reliable, cost effective
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now nothing dislike about scylla DB
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scylla DB support more scalable
Rewrite of Cassandra in C++ and uses a special library optimized for I/O operations and offers good documentation
What is our primary use case?
We use it as a non-relational database. We use it to store two things:
- To store audit log data and
- blob data, including images with different sizes, like 200kb.
We use it as an image database as well, such as user profile pictures and product catalog promotional pictures.
How has it helped my organization?
We got Free Community Software for Managing the Blob data for Cross Data Center & Distributed Cluster
What is most valuable?
ScyllaDB is a rewrite of Cassandra in C++ and uses a special library called Seastar, which was developed by ScyllaDB.
Seastar is optimized for I/O operations, which makes it very good compared to Cassandra. Like it's ten times better in terms of performance.
The documentation is good. It integrates easily with our existing data infrastructure.
What needs improvement?
If you don't have the best computing resources, then it's not easy to set up. In such cases, we have to run ScyllaDB in developer mode.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for Seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have never faced any problems. As per my use case and our environment, it is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's pretty good. It offers everything we need at this time. It's a scalable product.
In my organization, all 55 people across six products use ScyllaDB.
How are customer service and support?
We have never contacted customer service and support. It's all working great. So, never needed the support
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We tried MongoDB & Cassandra. It wasn't scalable at that time, like six or seven years ago. Then we moved to Cassandra and then ScyllaDB.
How was the initial setup?
With best computing resources: If you have good computing resources like CPUs, memory, and especially solid-state drives (SSDs), the installation and configuration are very easy.
Without the best computing resources: If you don't have the best computing resources, then it's not easy to set up. In such cases, we have to run ScyllaDB in developer mode.
What about the implementation team?
NO
What was our ROI?
YES
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's free. Only support is costly. So the support is an extra cost, which is expensive.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We tried MongoDB & Cassandra. It wasn't scalable at that time, like six years ago. Then we moved to ScyllaDB.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend to use it. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use ScyllaDB for the first time.
Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.
